Sweet - I love shooting with atmospherics like this.

I like these shots - very nice portraits of each and the pine martin in particular.

Distant Landscapes can take two forms for my interpretation - one is simply distant rom where I live: Athens Little Petra, Jordan My own favorite distant landscapes are ones I capture using telephoto lenses: Mt. Hood and the basalts of the eastern Columbia River Gorge region...

Hard to go wrong with a curvy road leading the way through the quakies.

Correct - I shot the downstream side of Ruby Falls last Sept when we met up in the park but with a much lower flow in the creek. My shot at the top is about 500' upstream from the bridge on a trip I did back in 2011. The "trail" I followed kind of petered out in the forest after that.

I haven't been doing much bird photography recently but here are a couple from last winter. Wood ducks at Burnt Bridge Creek: Hasty departures along Youngs Creek in Oregon's Rooster Rock State Park:

Delightful collection of shots of this bird. I love the whole set to be honest but #5, #6, #8, and #9 really keep my eyes lingering longer.

I am always fascinated by how they can collect so many of these in their beaks without losing the ones they already caught. Beautiful shot.

The locomotive isn't exactly shy about how much smoke it puts out. Nice shot of it in action.

Thanks Peter - the steep slopes on the sides of Mt. Rainier make all of the creeks more like continuous waterfalls rather than rapids which is fun for photographers if you can access viewpoints for the creeks.

This is a really neat set of falls with both high and low water levels. Usually I prefer lower flow levels but this set of falls has unique characteristics in the cascades in both cases. Glad you dug this one out.

Ahh yes - the real falls under the bridge on the Stevens Canyon road. This is a lot more water coming over the falls than what I saw last September when I shot there.

Thanks Guys - displays like this make grocery shopping fun :)

Thanks Jameel - Always nice to get clearing skies at the end of a stormy day for neat displays like this.

Thanks Peter - Clearing storms present some really interesting cloud formations with unstable atmospheric conditions.
