Looking up through the glass ceiling of a yurt in Oregon.

They seem to be getting very popular in Oregon. Don't remember seeing them a couple of years ago. A nice step up from your basic tent camping.

Red on brick

Somewhere in Oregon in a little town near the coast. I don't know what that red thing on the building is. If you know, ping me please.

Borax and clouds

This was near the old borax mine in Death Valley National Park. Beautifully stark on a day where the high was 116 degrees Fahrenheit.

A trail leading up to the Cinder Cone in Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. If you make it up there at sunrise, you can see some beautiful sights.

Light breaking through

Somewhere along the 395-N on the way to Mammoth Lakes, California.

Upside down Snag Lake

Over the Labor Day weekend, we went backpacking in Lassen Volcanic National Park and camped at Snag Lake one night. The night was cold and windy but the next day was beautifully calm. So calm that the reflections in the water of the lake were perfect. So perfect that I rotated the image upside down and it was hard to tell. Above is the upside down image. If you look carefully, you can see some logs in the water - they are in the top half of the picture, towards the right.

Light and shadow in the Japanese Garden

One of the many beautiful sights in the Japanese Garden of Portland, Oregon.

Roses in Portland

A rose - one of thousands at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon. If you ever happen to have an extra hour to spare, you should check it out. Also happens to be located right opposite the Japanese Garden. You walk into the garden and it feels like you are in a fragrance shop.

Yellow and blue
