The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. At this location is where Edoras stood on top of this hill known as Mt Sunday. Such a stunning location and one of favorite places in NZ. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFilms #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #photography #landscape #NewZealsnd #lotr

A place appropriately called “Paradise” just north of Glenorchy. It was golden Hour as we headed back towards Queenstown, had to stop to take in this view and moment. #stunday #landscape #photography #NewZealand #EastCoastKin #mountains

The vivid blue waters of Hokitika Gorge. #BlueSkyArtShow #water #NewZealand #landscape #photography

That Wanaka Tree on a foggy day. #ForestFriday #FlyDay #scape #NewZealand #photography #landscape

The fleeting morning light across Walter Peak, a moment that only lasted a few minutes that eventually led to overcast skies for the rest of the day. #MountainMonday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEphemeral #BlueSkyMonday #mountains #sunrise #NZ

The rainforest of Fiordland National Park. As someone that lives in a dry climate, seeing dense green forests like this was quite surreal, couldn’t stop taking pictures. #ForestFriday #scape #EastCoastKin #NewZealand #rainforest #forest #trees #green

The setting full moon over the Rockies. #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #moon #landscape #photography #colorado

The White-Tailed Ptarmigan, so calm and collected and didn’t even notice its presence until it moved ever so slightly. #SilentPresence #BirdOfTheDay #Camouflage #birds #Stunday #photography #wildlife

Cuteness overload, a baby Canada Goose. #BirdOfTheDay #geese #birds #wildlife #photography #BirdPhotography #gosling

This year I’ve been trying to photograph birds/wildlife more and here’s one of a Mountain bluebird just chilling out. #BirdOfTheDay #BranchingOut #Stunday #birds #photography #wildlife #nature

Three deer inside some dense vegetation. #BlueSkyArtShow #busy #photography #deer #nature #wildlife #snow

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay for #LookingAtYou reminded me of my encounter with this Kea perched on the rear view mirror. Eventually had to drive off once it attempted to rip of the rubber lining (a Kea’s favorite pastime) on the inside of the door 😂. #FlyDay #Bird #NewZealand

A single duck standing on a rock during a chilly snowy spring morning in the mountains. #Scape #FlyDay #landscape #photography #Duck #birds #wildlife #RockMountainNationalPark

It’s been a few years, but I use to shoot with a converted Infrared camera. It’s quite fun creatively, maybe I’ll come back to it someday. #BlueSkyArtShow #tall #ArtYear #photography #infrared #trees #forest #nature #EastCoastKin

These images were all taken the same morning along a creek in Rocky Mountain National Park. The colorful rocks along with the green algae made for a fun photo session that sparked my creativity. #WaterfallWednesday #WackyWednesdayArt #ColorADay #RedWed #nature #photography #ArtYear #abstract

A few photos from last week’s snow dump in Estes Park, CO. A surreal morning that truly felt like living in a snow globe. #snow #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #colorado #spring

It’s Arbor Day and #ForestFriday! Go hug a tree or maybe plant one, either way you gotta love these magnificent plants that gives our air the oxygen we all need. #ArborDay #tree #forest #nature #photography

Happy Earth Day 🌎! As the saying goes, it’s our only home, let’s cherish and protect it. #EarthDay #WaterfallWednesday #waterfall #photography #landscape

The #edge that makes up a dune at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. #BlueSkyArtShow #WeekOForOld #AlphabetChallenge #colorado #EastCoastKin #sanddunes

Not the best named park, but State Forest State Park is probably my pick for Colorado. Borders Rocky Mountain National Park, so has the same beautiful mountain scenery but without the crowds.

I’ve been following the Artemis ii mission with awe and the amazing photos of the moon that came with it. Been going through some of my images of the moon and thought I’ll share a few in celebration of the crew’s return to Earth today. #scape #moon #Artemisii #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Such a fascinating place to look at some ancient artwork on rocks. #RockinTuesday #TagTuesday #petroglyphs #ArtYear #photography #History

A few intimate shots while hiking in Big Bend National Park. As a photographer I have evolved to try and find overlooked scenes in nature that I find beautiful while enjoying the challenge of composing each shot. #MountainMonday #PhotographersOfBlueSky #nature #photography #landscape #texas

A few clicks inside Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Always fascinating walking through a cave and looking at all its various features. #cave #photography #landscape #NewMexico #CarlsbadCaverns #EastCoastKin
