Adventuring Grand Canyon ~ Toroweap
Adventuring Grand Canyon ~ Toroweap
Ocotillo and barrel cactus in spring green: Lava Falls Trail, Toroweap, AZ.
The Grand Canyon is on the bucket lists of many of us. Most head to the south rim where all the tourist facilities are. This little story is about the much less popular north rim, which is worth visiting too. But wait, it’s not even about the more popular north rim, where the lodge is located. It’s about a little…

Adventuring Mt. Rainier ~ In the Dark
Adventuring Mt. Rainier ~ In the Dark
Mt. Rainier and Upper Tipsoo Lake.
There really is no Cascade peak like Mount Rainier. Mt. Hood is spectacularly beautiful. Mt. Saint Helens has a dangerous beating heart. And Glacier Peak is surrounded by the kind of wilderness that reminds of Alaska. But Rainier is at another scale altogether. Not only is it broad it’s lofty. It is flanked by dramatically steep glaciers that drop…

Adventuring Mt. Rainier: Hiker's Heaven
Adventuring Mt. Rainier: Hiker’s Heaven
This is the same face of Rainier that residents of Seattle see every clear day. Much better up close!
The first time I saw Mount Rainier up close I was completely blown away. I was 19 and had been in the Pacific NW for less than a year. The Cascade Mountains seemed like the Himalayas to my East Coast eyes. And Rainier is the biggest and baddest of the entire range. When I got that first good…

Single-Image Sunday: The Old Florida A recent image of Florida's Indian River. I shot at dusk from the western shore of what is actually a long inlet of the sea, or estuary, rather than a true river.
Adventuring Baja: Mis-Adventures & Desert Mountains
Adventuring Baja: Mis-Adventures & Desert Mountains
The sun rises over a forest of cirios trees, characteristic of the desert of the northern Baja Peninsula.
I’ve been sharing some of my adventures I’ve had during photography trips. My goal is to show examples of how good image-making goes hand in hand with a spirit of adventure and spontaneity. Last time I posted about my first trip down Mexico’s long Baja Peninsula. This time we’ll continue…

Adventuring Baja, Mexico
Cardon cactus are reflected in a pool of water left by a precious desert rainstorm in northern interior Baja, Mexico.
Ever since the first time I decided to see what was south of California I’ve had a bit of a thing for this appendage on the west coast of North America. Officially called Baja California, this Mexican state that occupies a long peninsula jutting south into the Pacific is commonly…

Single-image Sunday: Beach Sunrise Here's another beach sunrise. This one was pretty special, though not for the color or setting but because it was my birthday.
To Risk or Not to Risk (for a Photo)
Orion rises behind Turret Arch in Arches National Park. Utah. To get a higher viewpoint where the arch wasn’t blocking Orion and the snow-capped La Sal Mtns., I climbed to a narrow ledge with a steep drop into blackness on three sides.
This question comes up more than I ever expected when I got serious about photography again and many years ago decided to join the digital wave. I thought I was…

Single-Image Sunday: Explosion On a whim I stopped at the wetlands after work on Friday. A bank of grey clouds hid the sunset and things were looking pretty boring.
Single-Image Sunday: Evening at the Wetlands I've not been shooting much at all over the past year, which makes me sad. But I've bought some new gear together lately and am trying to get out and use it as much as I have time for.
Adventuring Death Valley, Part IV
Things get interesting when a storm moves into Death Valley National Park, California.
The fun continues in a place that, at first glance, does not appear to offer much. Let’s face it. Death Valley, although it’s very dramatic when you first drive in, is a dry and desolate place at first glance. Because of this, a lot of people drive through without spending the night, just to check it off…

Adventuring Death Valley: Elevation
I’ve posted this one before, but it’s worth a repeat. Telescope Peak and the Panamint Range from Saratoga Springs in south Death Valley.
More than for most parks, appreciating Death Valley begs you to stop and smell the creosote. Camp out and take a stroll out into the desert as evening is coming on. Listen to the silence, perhaps broken by a coyote’s howl. Wake early and experience day-break…

Adventuring in Death Valley: It's the Water
Adventuring in Death Valley: It’s the Water
Morning light and a clearing winter storm over the Panamints: Death Valley, CA.
Here’s a tip: don’t run out of water while hiking in Death Valley. I can already hear you: “Thank you, Captain Obvious.” But there’s a big difference between knowing something is a smart idea and knowing how smart, that is, from experience. This is a little story about the latter kind of smarts.
I’m doing a…

Adventuring in Death Valley: Part I
Easy walking in Death Valley: a recent flash-flood has left a smooth deposit of mud.
If you have followed this blog for awhile you know that this chunk of southeastern California desert is one of my favorite places to explore and photograph. I’ve had a thing for it since my first visit in the early 1980s, and its more recent popularity hasn’t dimmed my enthusiasm. It seems that no matter how…

Single-image Sunday: Beach-Time Well hello there strangers! Actually I've been the stranger. A good long blogging break that corresponded with a good long break from photography.
Single-image Sunday: Departure It's been a long time since I've done a single-image Sunday post, and also a long time since I've gotten a new lens.
Eclipse Mania: Talking Weather
Eclipse Mania: Talking Weather
A spectacular composite eclipse image from 1999, by Fred Espenak.
Can you believe the eclipse is only a few weeks away? I can’t wait! I’m concluding my series on planning for this eclipse by tackling perhaps the most difficult thing to plan for: weather. But it really isn’t just about weather. It actually has more to do with psychology. I’m doing what is unusual for me, including images from…
