Mount Hood two weeks ago as seen from my parents' Chicago ORD to Portland, Oregon, flight.

Their return flight from Denver to Peoria, Illinois, included a detour around a stormfront over Kansas and Oklahoma that eventually opened up on us in downstate Illinois and St. Louis before sunrise Thursday.

Mount Rainier caught the first warm light over Maple Valley, and the lake held just enough reflection to echo it back.

This mossy forest floor caught my eye while I was at Federation Forest State Park, WA this past week.

The branches, roots, and old wood were all wrapped in green moss. It felt like the forest was slowly reclaiming everything.

Layered cloud reflection over Lake Wilderness, Maple Valley, Washington

While I was at Lake Wilderness Park yesterday, this reflection caught my eye.

The water was so still it held the cloud layers almost perfectly. It felt like the lake was mirroring the whole sky.

While I was at Federation Forest State Park this week, this mossy stretch of forest caught my eye.

The moss-covered branches and deep green forest floor gave it a calm, almost storybook feel.

Morning blue hour glowed pink over Lake Washington this morning, with Mount Rainier in the background while this Canada goose stood and watched in the still water.

I was up early this morning photographing blue hour, and this Canada goose came by to watch. I like how its reflection shows up in the water. Low-angle wildlife at its finest.

Blue hour on Lake Washington.

While I was at Lake Washington last night, this sailboat caught my eye.

Blue hour light always feels a little more reflective to me.

Rainbow in the Mist

While I was at Franklin Falls this past weekend, this rainbow formed in the spray right where the mist met the rocks. It only lasted for a moment.

What I like here is how the rainbow and mist almost make it look like there are water droplets on the lens, but that texture is really the dark rock in the background.

What catches your eye first here, the rainbow, the mist, or the rock?
