It was a good morning to photograph birds at a local wetland.

Eagle Creek Above Punchbowl Falls

I cannot believe I’ve lived here for 18 years and no one ever explained to me what’s above Punchbowl Falls.

I decided to post today just about the birds and berries I captured while backpacking on Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia River Gorge.

At Eagle Creek, our indefatigable Mother Nature reminds us that she is more powerful than we could ever hope to be.

The trails in this park are vast, and welcoming to people on foot, and people on wheels.

A scheduling snafu on the last day in April resulted in me having an entire day to kill in Maryland before my flight left for England at 9:30 pm.

Just steps away from my hotel in a busy suburb of Annapolis is an escape into nature.

We had many hours to kill, and pent up energy from having spent an eternity on airplanes.

Bend is a popular destination in central Oregon. Mountains are part of the appeal.

Six miles from Mitchell, OR are the Painted Hills: one of my favourite things about this state.
