Intimate Landscapes

Ripples of Life

The ripples of a foxtail pine from branches that feel off 1000's of years ago.

This way. No this way.

The lines of the Oceano dunes.

Refracted & Reflected

Refracted and reflected light in Cottonwood Lakes above 11,000 feet as the granite light reflects and refracts through the high mountain lake.

Its Official

The official state flower of Colorado the Rocky Mountain Columbine most often grows in groups but you will still find the lone flower.

Heart of Stone

Flowers reaching for the light and finding their way out of the rocks along the Sierra High Route.

Just a little

All water needs is a little crack to begin to form a channel and deepen a way to flow through the landscape.

Aspen Mosiac

Aspen leaves floating on the river along Cottonwood Creek forming an interesting melange of color.

Foam Party

In certain storms along the coast there is not enough time between wave sets for the sea foam to return to the ocean and it then gets whipped into a froth. As the waves crash in and recede the unpredictability of how the foam will form becomes more interesting.

Peruvian Carpet

Over 16,000 feet very little grows but these little plants that blanket the ground.

Fire Wood

A bristlecone pine root, exposed to natures elements begins to flow and take on different forms. Far beyond the way we usually envision.

Interlinked

The interlinked Aspen trees of Colorado as they lean upon each other and each find their own paths.

Dewing it

Small leaves gather and grab the water as a light rain falls in the Hoh Rainforest.

Lichen It

The many different colors and types of lichen intermingle with each other on this high sierra granite.

Secondary Beauty

Reflected light showcases the glowing beauty and stark trunks of the Aspen.

Flow

Sand dunes flow in new ways and directions beyond anything we can easily comprehend.

Holding the fog

Spruce trees along the Olympic Peninsula hold the fog as if frozen.

Natures Paintbrush

A lone strand of grass in the sand dunes of the Mojave paints us a natural picture.

Ebb

The ebb and flow of the ocean waves reflecting the last of the sunset light.

To each their own

Each of these small forest dwellers takes on a slightly different shape and form.

Fingers of Life

Estuary rivers reach back into the ground and form their branching patterns of growth.

Desert Glow

The distant glow of the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon.

The Many Faces of Water

Finding the many faces of the water as it plunges to the ground in Yosemite National Park.

Let there be pink!

Valley of Fire State park brings out some rather unique color and texture.
