Seattle Snow

I absolutely love photographing snow — the contours and shapes, the contrasting textures are simply beautiful. Living in Seattle I don’t get many opportunities to just step out my front door into a winter wonderland.

A Hike and a Lava Tube (365:32)

Today’s Hawaiian adventure started with a hike higher up on the volcano that my brother lives on, Hualalai. We drove up to around 2800 feet and hiked in to Honuaula Forest Reserve. The climate around 3000 feet is incredibly different than what I’d been seeing further down the volcano. It …
