I arrived early yesterday morning, hoping for a clear view of Mount Rainier while Tipsoo Lake was still calm. I was not disappointed. Seeing the alpenglow on Mount Rainier reflected in the lake was absolutely beautiful. I felt peaceful, excited, and incredibly lucky to witness it. #PNWPhotography

Mount Rainier glows warm orange and pink at sunrise beyond a dark line of evergreen trees at Tipsoo Lake near Chinook Pass. The mountain and trees reflect across the calm water, while grasses and small wildflowers fill the foreground. The contrast between the warm alpenglow and cool shadows makes the scene feel peaceful and rewarding.

Snow-capped Mount Rainier reflected in Lake Wilderness. What caught my eye was how the bright mountain seemed to float above the darker trees and water. It was one of those quiet morning scenes that made me pause and take it all in. #PNWPhotography #LakeReflection #SonyAlpha

A wide landscape photo at Lake Wilderness in Maple Valley, Washington, shows a calm lake bordered by tall evergreen trees and spring-green shoreline plants. Long grasses fill the foreground, while the still water reflects the forest, blue sky, and bright layered clouds above. A small, faint view of Mount Rainier appears near the center of the horizon, partly obscured by hills, trees, and clouds. The image feels peaceful, open, and quietly reflective.

While I was at Federation Forest State Park this week, this mossy stretch of forest caught my eye. The moss-covered branches and deep green forest floor gave it a calm, almost storybook feel. #PNWPhotography #WashingtonState #MossyForest #SonyAlpha

A dense mossy forest interior at Federation Forest State Park in Washington, with tall evergreen trees rising through a carpet of green ferns, moss-covered logs, and soft forest undergrowth. Thick moss clings to branches and tree trunks throughout the scene, while filtered light from an overcast sky gives the woodland a muted, natural glow. The photo feels calm, quiet, and a little storybook-like.

Lower Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, OR. What I like most about this view is the yellow moss spreading across the basalt cliff on the right and the bright green vegetation at the base. It adds so much color and life to the scene. #ColumbiaRiverGorge #LatourellFalls #PNWPhotography

Lower Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, drops in a tall, narrow white stream from the top of a high basalt cliff. The dark rock wall shows strong columnar formations and rough volcanic texture, with broad patches of yellow-green lichen and moss spread across the upper cliff face. At the bottom, the falling water lands among dark rocks and wet ground, then continues into a small stream in the foreground bordered by bright green plants. The photo feels cool, quiet, and deeply refreshing.

Lower falls at Wallace Falls State Park, Washington. I went for a hike here and was struck by how the trail keeps you close to the Wallace River before opening to this view through the trees. It is one of those places that feels deep, green, and full of motion. #PNWPhotography

A tall white waterfall drops through a narrow opening in dense evergreen forest. Dark green conifers fill nearly the entire frame, with branches and foliage overlapping the view so the falls appear partially hidden deep in the trees. Sunlight catches parts of the forest canopy and some of the rock near the top of the cascade, while the water stands out brightly against the darker shaded surroundings. The photo feels secluded, lush, and quietly powerful.

A quiet trail leading down to Shadow Lake. I was hiking the Wonderland Trail when I came across this view of the deep green water, surrounding evergreens, and a lone hiker near the shoreline. The whole scene felt calm and tucked away from the busier parts of Mount Rainier. #PNWPhotography

A narrow dirt trail descends through green alpine vegetation toward Shadow Lake at Mount Rainier National Park. The lake’s dark green and blue water reflects the tall evergreen trees lining the opposite shore. A lone hiker stands near the water, adding scale to the broad landscape. Rocky ridges rise above the forest beneath a clear blue sky. The scene feels peaceful, inviting, and wonderfully remote.

I drove over to Colman Park and caught the last bit of sunlight on Mount Rainier. I really love the contrast between the deep blue of Lake Washington and the soft alpenglow on the mountain. It made this evening feel special to me. #Seattle #MountRainier #PNWPhotography #SonyAlpha #SonyA7RV

Mount Rainier rises in the distance beyond Lake Washington, lit by warm evening alpenglow on its snowy upper slopes. A dark tree-lined shoreline stretches across the middle of the frame, with a few homes tucked among the trees. In the foreground, the lake shows bands of deep blue and pale reflected light, with gentle ripples moving across the water. The photo feels calm, quiet, and reflective.

While I was hiking up to Franklin Falls this past weekend, this stretch of the South Fork Snoqualmie River caught my eye. What I liked about this scene is the small waterfall tucked into the bend and the way the river flowed down through the rocks into that pool below. #PNWPhotography #SonyA7RV

A forested section of the South Fork Snoqualmie River at Snoqualmie Pass flows through a narrow rocky gorge lined with evergreen trees. Near the upper center of the image, a small waterfall drops into a dark pool before the river continues downhill over smooth rocks and small cascades. Moss covers parts of the rocks and tree trunks, and patches of lingering snow sit on the slope to the right. In the foreground, the water widens into a calmer green pool with a shallow gravel edge visible beneath the surface. The image feels quiet, cool, and tucked away deep in the forest.

Two waterfalls, one narrow gorge. Last weekend, I hiked to Twin Falls near North Bend, Washington. I like how the water drops from one fall into the next, framed by steep rock walls and tall forest. It is easy to see how Twin Falls got its name. #PNWPhotography
