Early summer runoff convenes in a beautiful chasm high in the glaciated mountains near the Canadian border. Fields of wildflowers adorn these tarns in summer and make for a magical scene. Perched on the edge of a small rock, the rising moon illuminated this scene from behind and allowed me capture the milky path of water over the falls. The immersive perspective is created by stitching 3 horizontal photos together using a 12mm lens.

Olympic National Park, November 2018
The Hoh rainforest gets 14 feet of a rain a year, much of which drains into rivers and flows a couple miles back into the ocean to be evaporated and dumped on your head the next day. The water cycle is truly working in hyper-speed up here The three days I was there bore that out. After a small break in the clouds the sun quickly started evaporating everything throwing mist and great shafts of light all over the place. I shot this area of arcing mossy limbs earlier in total rainy gloom and returned here to find this gloriously backlit scene.

Medicine Flow-
Fun fact about these kind of idyllic summer mountain wildflower paradise scenes: They more or less always come with an extra-hearty portion of mosquitoes looking for an uber-robust serving of delicious human juice (the red stuff ya perv!). The same healing brush tool that portrait and fashion photographers use to make models' zits go kapoof comes in real handy in editing out the ravenous hordes.
