View from Dog Mtn

Rainbow on view from Dog Mtn

This is the view from Dog Mountain, a beautiful and moderately difficult hike near Stevenson, Washington. I’ve heard that the wild flowers are amazing in the Spring, so I’ll have to make a return trip.
As for the photo, I’m not really sure how it turned out the way it did, but I’m pleased with the [...]

Thumbnail image for The view from Angel’s Rest

Portland finally got a couple of sunny days and the trails where mobbed with everyone trying to get outside, and I was no exception. I hiked with some friends to the top of Angel’s Rest in the Columbia River Gorge. This is a short 4 mile round trip hike with an amazing view at the [...]

Christmas at Trillium Lake

December 26, 2009 Photography

My Christmas was lovely and I hope yours was too. We spent part of the day hiking around Trillium Lake, which is a pretty easy trail that leads to an amazing view of Mt. Hood. Snowshoes would have been helpful, but weren’t neccessary because the ground was so well packed. Here are some pictures.

Ponytails Falls in the Columbia River Gorge

Ponytail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge

This is some of the first photography I’ve gotten to do since coming home to Portland. I think that after all the bumps and bruises on the trail (not to mention the rain), my camera may need a little love from the shop. It’s not quite focusing the way I would like it to.

Lafayette Ridge

Shoving my pack through the Mahoosac Notch

September 6, 2009 Favorites

The Mahoosac Notch is known as “the hardest mile on the Appalachian Trail.” In it, you wiggle under big boulders, stuff your backpack through holes, and hop from rock to rock. It was incredibly fun. Here are a few pictures of me shoving my pack ahead of me as I climb through a tunnel.

Sunset at Pleasant Pond

Sunset in Maine

“That’s not Pleasant Pond!” you say.
And I say, “I’m running around town in a rush and may have forgotten the name of the actual pond. I will look it up later.”
This is another experiment with my camera. I’m enjoying learning, making a lot of mistakes, and getting a lot of great practice.
