I spent some time walking solo in the far north of Scandinavia – Lofoten Islands, Senja, Andoya & Lyngen Alps. This part of the world still feels isolated and pristine, a place where you can pick lignonberries and blueberries and eat them as you walk. A place where you have to hike several miles to…

2023- miles to go before I sleep
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. -Robert Frost “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” We did some traveling this spring and summer – through Idaho and Washington, Montana and Wyoming, Colorado and…
oregon coast
We did a short trip to Eugene, Oregon and the Oregon coast this January. This is NOT the ideal time to visit due to the rainy weather. However, the weather reminds me of the South Island of New Zealand, west coast of Ireland and Scotland. The light with the stormy skies was magical.
eagles – january 2023
I have been trying to get decent eagle photos in Coeur d’Alene for the last 14 months. Finally 2 weeks ago I was able to get good light while there were plenty of eagles hunting for Kokanee salmon in the lake.

everything old is new again, part 1
It is fun to go visit new places. It is also (more) fun to see familiar places in new light! The first way to see new light is by reimagining your old photos that are sitting on a hard drive somewhere. The best advise I got as a photographer was from a friend, a patient,…
the larch march
The north Cascades fall colors rival the Colorado Southwest. The yellow and red contrast is what stands out the best in my opinion. In Colorado it is the quaking aspens & cottonwoods contrasting with the Gambel oaks. In the north Cascades it is the larch (tamarack) contrasting against the red ground cover of the blueberry…
