Landscapes of the Western U.S.

My favorite landscapes of the western United States, including the Shasta-Cascade, the mountains and foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and California's Central Valley.

Reflection Lakes Morning Drama

During my short visit to Mount Rainier National Park, the highest mountain of the Cascade Range only revealed her beautiful face once. I nearly missed this moment, having slept through my alarm that morning (getting up for sunrise around the summer solstice is tough), but fortunately, arrived at Reflection Lakes in time to capture the drama of the morning sun briefly illuminating the clouds.
