At the Threshold of Ascent

Glacier Waters, Rusted Words

Where Beauty Waited at Earned Altitude

A Still Lake, and One Quick Splash

An Invitation in Green

Where the Wildflowers Found Two Explorers This wasn’t just a field of wildflowers — it was a moment. A burst of color, life, and joy that Ellie and I wandered into together. In the moment, you don’t always realize how sacred something is. But looking back, it’s clear: we didn’t just find this meadow — the wildflowers found us. A gift from God, waiting in full bloom. Ellie, my adventure partner and photography companion, so often leads us straight into magic.

Twice Chosen Morning two. Whatever they know about this spot, they're certain.

Fracture

Between Frozen

White Noise Windy Weathers visited today.

Simply There

Exhale The day, the week, the season, the sky exhales.

Parallel Light Two phenomena, same sky, same moment. A storm pushing east while the light fought back. Look closely along the rainbow, a second line, white and faint, rising parallel. A sun pillar, light reflected off suspended ice crystals, caught alongside the rainbow almost by chance.

Lost in Still

Burning Layers A hot, ordinary day dissolved into this. Compressed layers of storm and light colliding above the mountains. One of those moments where you just point and shoot and feel grateful.

Midnight Jostle Was headed to bed when the moon and the wind conspired to keep me up a little longer.

The Paddle Home A brutal, sweltering day was finally breaking. The light went gold, and everyone pointed for home, a slow paddle at a time.

You Can't See the Smell Ellie sat this one out, her loss. I got the storm and the smell: that clean, sharp, electric, impossible petrichor rush when rain hits dry ground. Surprising, layered, a gift you can't photograph and never see coming. The sky put on a show, but the scent stole it. You can't see the smell. But trust me, it was the best part. ⚡️

Fetch Me a Sunset Everyone else was winding down. Ellie was just getting started. 🌅 Carter Lake didn't stand a chance.

Heat Last light, faint breeze, and still the ground breathed heat. Days of it, stored in the cracked earth where the water used to be.

Secondhand Sky A cold front rolled in, trading scorching heat for something cooler, but it came at a price. The wind carried smoke from the PNW fires down to us, hazing out the mountains and bending the sunset into colors that aren't quite normal. No filter on the camera, just the whole sky turned into one, the light strained through a few hundred miles of someone else's fire. Beautiful and a little uneasy at the same time. We had a guest for it too: a dog we're sitting, watching the lake and mountains like he'd never seen anything like it.

Word from a Friend Texted a buddy tonight just to say hi. He wrote back: there's an eclipse right now — and sent a blurry phone pic. Went outside to see for myself and… wham. How did I miss this?! There it was. Grabbed the gear and made it out just in time, into a surprisingly clear, calm night. 96% of the moon swallowed in Earth's shadow, one sliver of light hanging on.
