I was supposed to hike the North Fork Skokomish over First Divide and out the Duckabush this weekend. Lingering snow in the upper elevations and prior commitments were cutting my 3 day weekend short so I decided to stay local. My favorite option to stay local and still get a few miles in is Green Mountain. …
I created a time lapse sequence last night in Seabeck looking towards the Olympic Mountains across the Hood Canal. Sequence is comprised of about 350 images over the course of an hour. Special thanks to Hayden for being so patient. For the best possible view of this video, click the HD in the player controls …
Stitched image of the sunset taken from the Seattle-Bremerton ferry as we pulled in to Bremerton. I was very happy how this turned out since the ferry was in motion when I took the 3 shots that I used to make this panorama.

Most of my photos are quick shots I take while I am hiking. Sometimes I actually set out to try to get a good shot. This is one of those times. This image was taken from the parking lot at the Harrison Memorial Hospital in Silverdale looking across the town toward the Olympic Mountains at …

After Cinco de Mayo celebrations at my in-laws, I stopped at the town of Seabeck Washington and again at Big Beef Creek near Seabeck to try and capture this amazing sunset. When I stopped at Big Beef Creek, there was an eagle on the mud flats that I wanted to get a picture of, but …

I joined the PWC in their skills practice at School Rock on Green Mountain. Skills practiced were belay, rappelling and rope/harness work. I was more in the photographer mode than the actual skills practice but I did get a couple of rappels in.
