Halfdome from the Backside
Halfdome in Yosemite National Park. Halfdome is a unique experience for a day hike! Here is some more information about it: http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/halfdome.htm
Flowers - Pink Lily (Anther Focus)
I took this photo on one, sunny afternoon. These pink lilies were nearby my home and I walked past them for a few days, thinking to myself each time, "I need to bring my camera!" Once I did I was able to capture this image of this beautiful flower!
Horse Portrait Picture
While at "Neigh Day" presented by Diamonds in the Rough Horses (Equine) Rescue Shelter, I was walking through the barn looking at all the horses available for adoption and this horse was posing perfectly for its portrait!
Mount Rainier On The Wonderland Trail Near Indian Bar II
On our way to the Indian Bar campsite their were a couple of great clearings to see Mount Rainier!
Mount Pleasant as seen from the Spray Park Trail
After we left Mowich Lake Campground, my buddy and I decided to take the Spray Park trail instead of the Wonderland Trail Proper. I read in Bette Filley's book, "Discovering The Wonders of the Wonderland Trail" that Spray Park offers some magnificent views whereas the Wonderland Trail is more forested and covered. The only catch is that if it's bad weather, Spray Park is absolutely miserable as there is no cover and it's the highest point on the trail. Thankfully we lucked out and had blue skies and great views! Here is a photo of Mount Pleasant as seen from the Spray Park Trail.
Mount Adams From The Wonderland Trail After Panhandle Gap IV
On our way to the Indian Bar campsite we crossed over the Panhandle Gap. This photo was taken a short distance after we crossed the gap.
Momma Horse embraces her Colt
This photo won awards for being one of the top photos during the entire month of May on Pixoto.com! While at "Neigh Day" presented by Diamonds in the Rough Horses (Equine) Rescue Shelter, I was walking through the horse pastures and I was able to capture this photo of the colt, "Cheveyo" with his momma, "Breezie."
Waterfall at Glacier National Park
This waterfall was a little bit off of the trail but we stopped here for a short rest before moving on with the hike. We we're fortunate to be able to stop beside such a beautiful site in nature!

This is one of the first images that I captured on my trip to Glacier National Park (GNP). A Moraine Lake in front of a grand Mountain!
Mount Whitney Teeth (Color)
This is a photo coming down from Mt. Whitney. The iconic peaks piercing into the sky.
Lakes, Mountains & Trees - Long Viewing Distance at GNP
This was one of the last mountains that we climbed on our way out of the park. It was a good climb, if my memory serves me right it was 3 miles up and 3 miles down!
Leaves with Icicles
I captured this photo after an ice storm came through the Cleveland area. The storm provided some great picture opportunities that I was able to capture the following day!

This statue and others like it are found on the Hope Memorial Bridge, formerly called the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge. Here is more information about the Hope Memorial Bridge.
Red Rocks In Colorado And Green Field, Big Sky (Landscape)
While on a business trip to Colorado shooting some video for a company near Centennial, I made a stop over to Denver and the Red Rock park to check out the beautiful and breath taking views!
Ke'e Beach
While hiking the Kalalau trail I was able to take this photo Of Ke'e Beach, Hawaii. (Side note: The Kalalau trail was awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone to hike it!)
Rocky Mountain Range, Sunny (Portrait)
During a trip to Colorado (which was actually unrelated to nature photography) I made sure to plan for some extra time so I could make it to the Rocky Mountains and spend a few days camping there!

Sunrise Behind a Tree in Cleveland Ohio
I took this photo at Edgewater Park in Cleveland, Ohio. Near the shore of Lake Erie, this early autumn photo captures the beautiful park and sun rising to meet Cleveland this fine morning!
River in Virginia
During a backpacking trip in Virginia, this was one of many rivers that we came across. I liked this one especially as the rocks and surrounding foilage provided a cool looking river in the middle of a dense forest.
