Continuing my series from an early February hike through the snow-frosted woods. The lantern lamps in Noble Woods Park are so-o-o cool. Just my style.

Continuing my series from an early February hike through the snow-frosted woods. I love the way this bridge looks after the newly-fallen snow! So dreamy…

I finally got caught up with processing photos from an early February hike through the snow-frosted woods. This one is probably my favorite!

Do you ever feel like a failure? Ever worry you’re not measuring up, that “they” are always more successful than you are? Maybe the issue isn’t that you’re actually a failure, but you’re struggling with the emotions of failure, and that is something we can work with!
Watch the video for this week’s essentialism challenge and let me how it’s going for you!

“To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.” –Auguste Rodin
Some places that’s a challenging proposition, but here in Oregon it’s not hard to find beauty at every turn!
I will admit, I’m a sucker for water reflection shots. If they’re reflecting brilliant reds and oranges from the autumnal canopy, so much the better! 🧡

One minute, I was strolling through the quaint neighborhoods and gentle parks of west Hillsboro…mere miles away from Portland, OR. Next thing you know, I’m totally LOST in the the woods! Do I ever make it out alive??? You’ll just have to watch this video to find out.
Also another essentialism challenge to help you streamline your life and lose the “guilt factor” when considering which objects to keep and which to discard. Let me know how it goes OK?

All the fall colors on the trees everywhere are simply breathtaking! I was talking with my wife in the car the other day and completely lost my train of thought looking at the view out the window. The natural beauty of Oregon continues to amaze me.

Rose blooming season by and large is coming to a close, but there are still some amazing 🌹 flowers to be seen. Have I told you how much I love roses? Could photograph them all day every day! 😍

Sometimes I find it intriguing to take a serene, pastural image of a corporate park landscape and grunge it up big time. Gives it some edge… #hillsboro
What a cool walking bridge. Favorite new place for a jog in #hillsboro (in the Orenco Woods Nature Park).
