Treasure Cove
Shark Fin Cove, just north of Santa Cruz, California is one of those locations where the land, sky and sea come together in a sort of synchronicity that is both beautiful, mystifying and calming. I couldn't get visions of pirates sailing up to light a bonfire and bury treasure all over the beach out of my head, but just discovering and experiencing this spot was all the reward I could ever want.
High Tundra Lillies
The dramatic sky over Independence Pass, just east of Aspen, Colorado, makes one wonder what might happen next. At 12,000' in the late summer, it's best to just prepare for anything.
Thanks for Noticing
On the outskirts of Colorado's famous San Juan mountains, the seasons subtly change, thank you very much, along this pristine and private viewpoint. Thanks for taking a moment.

Looming Overcast
This is Swiftcurrent Lake, on the east side of Glacier National Park, in Montana, about five or six miles south of the Canadian border. Using a neutral density filter in weather like this might not be the way many photographers would approach this shot but I wanted to show the motion of the clouds by slowing the shutter speed down to several seconds. I hunkered down, with the camera set up with a shower cap over it, waiting for the rain to stop for just a minute, waiting to take this shot. After about an hour and a half, I got my break. As soon as the shutter clicked, the rain started again, once again patience and perseverance pay off in one of my favorite landscape images.
Lake Agnes
Situated high in Colorado's Never Summer range, Lake Agnes is a wonder in its own regard.
Trickle Down
Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana is well worth the effort. Those three slivers of water on the rocky face in the background are actually quite voracious, creating a cacophony that echoes throughout the entire basin.
