I'm a landscape/wildlife/nature photographer living in the Pacific Northwest. If it's outdoors, in the woods, in the mountains, or on the coast ... I'll probably photograph it!

High surf events aren't common in May on the Oregon Coast, but we had an amazing one last week. Big waves and beautiful light are hard to beat. #OceanWaves #OregonCoast #StormWaves #waves #LandscapePhotography

Ever so carefully .... #MacroMonday #ladybug #garden #MacroPhotography
There are SO many turkeys around our rural home in Oregon. The air is filled with the sound of toms calling for hens, and announcing their territory. I figured I might as well take some "glamour" shots of them. #WildTurkey #birds #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography
