About a month ago (labor day weekend), I embarked on a quest to explore a decommissioned Forest Service road along the Dungeness River and set up camp in the old East Crossing campground. The road was an absolute thicket, passable, but barely so in some places. I held a stick
Hello folks. I am once again coming to you with photos of trees. Not much to say but they are beautiful, and I am compelled to share them as otherwise they will slowly fill up my hard drive for naught. Also I will be sharing more photos of trees very
Catelynn wins the best girlfriend award once again for booking us a whale watching tour as my B-day present this year. Already we'd had a good whale year (orcas sightings in May and July), but this sealed the deal. And puffins? Gotta love puffins! According to the
The last weekend of July (yeah a long time ago) was spent with some brief exploration in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest (maybe my favorite national forest? It's up for debate). My dad and I cruised out to the Forlorn Lakes and somehow managed to snag the last
Wow, major backlog of photos this summer. I'll try to catch up on late July through August in the next week or so, but don't expect anything from September anytime soon! Anyway, this short post will be dedicated to a brief stay in Port Angeles with
Owyhigh! As in Owyhigh Lakes, named after the Yakama chief, Owhi. Also known as my surprise destination for a one-nighter backpacking trip in Mt Rainier (Tahoma) National Park. I unfortunately don't have the foresight to reserve wilderness permits months in advance, so it's luck of
Although I'm always craving more, the beginning of summer has brought plenty of outdoor explorations. And it's the first summer with the film camera too! Beautiful forests, deserts, and rivers that I get to turn soft and grainy. Hopefully, film will also help heal me from
As the drought lingering over the PNW was pierced by a single rainy day a few weekends ago, Catelynn and I took our good friend, Sadie, out to a nearby stretch of old growth forest to tromp around and enjoy the refreshingly saturated air. It's a grim journey
For Catelynn and I's birthdays, we decided to spend the long weekend away from the hustle and bustle. And so did everyone else because it was indeed Memorial Day weekend, meaning we were chased for hours by the hustle and bustle until we finally escaped deep into Olympic
My work has taken me to Botswana virtually many times; mapping cape buffalo, African elephant, and plains zebra migrations throughout the region. It's a unique place for migratory wildlife, with the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) stretching across parts of Botswana, Angola, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, making
In the past, work trips have generally taken me to remote freezing landscapes in Wyoming, so Greece is a pleasant change (but don't get me wrong, I love freezing landscapes in Wyoming too). Luckily, the work was balanced out with plenty of cappuccinos, Greek salads, and archaeological sightseeing.
In March, Catelynn and I flew down to Mexico to spend some time with my Mom and Brent. I opted to bring the film camera instead of the DSLR this time. Here are the keepers!
