When the snow melts and the glaciers give us their summer visage, the waters of this magical place seem not quite of this earth...yet they're there, right by the side of the road.
Taken by me in the North Cascades, "The Color of Summer".

Far from the Interstate Highway System, so remote that it's technically a wilderness area, yet you can drive up, park, walk across the bridge, and take in the same view as Lewis and Clark. And a lovely view it is...
Taken in northern Idaho, "Above the Mighty Lochsa".

A time of day on the coast that never fails to make me feel a little bit better...
Captured one February afternoon, "Sun Drawing Lower at Santa Monica Beach".

They extend into other states' waters too, but Oregon has by far the most: you see a sandy beach graced by the sublime surf of the Pacific Ocean...and just offshore there are these huge rocks everywhere.
A capture I made of one at Gold Beach during a particularly fine sunset last summer, "Sentinel of the Sea".

A few of us learn the "Bliss" hill of Windows XP is a real place, and gush over Sonoma, but what even fewer of us realize is that the hills of paradise stretch deep inland...so deep you could swear you were in the Midwest, if you hadn't visited the Midwest already and knew this is more like a dream someone might have had *about* the Midwest...
Taken by me in the Palouse of southeastern Washington: "Rolling Dreams".

I know I've been showing (and enjoying!) some lush vibes, but I start to also miss that stark minimalist purity that only the deepest deserts can provide. Maybe soon I'll go back and experience "A Moonlit Night at Badwater"...captured by yours truly one December evening.

We associate deserts with heat, but as the ice suggests at bottom right, it was chilly that day, but that only makes the stark beauty of these red rocks all the more impressive. You can practically see "Whispers in the Wind"...
Taken by yours truly at Arches National Park, Utah.

Like something out of those prehistoric reconstructions...only it's real, taken last year in California! But then again, the coast does have a way of making time seem like it truly is relative...

We love the green forests of the marine layer, but there's a certain magnificence to the stark trunks and branches of forests long forgotten, of memories that whisper in the dry, dusty winds of a desert twilight...
"Do Trees Dream of the Big Sky?", taken by yours truly.

So close you can reach out and touch them, those points of light that show the way, to "Where We're Going".
Captured one winter's night at Badwater Basin.

The most uninhabitable shirt-sleeve environment in the solar system...and you don't have to go as far as Artemis II to visit it. In fact, it's within a day's drive of Los Angeles. But beware: you might not come out the same as you went in.
Taken where the vibes begin, in the Panamint Valley: "Leave Behind Life".

I was warned of the smell of dead fish, yet I show up and it's...fine? Oh, I'm sure the Salton Sea has its nasty side, but there's no place else quite like these "Desert Shores", as I call this shot: captured on my first-ever night I saw the place last year.

It's almost that time of the year again: when the Plains come alive with whispers of nature's greatest fury, and the lovers of the sublime hit the road, "Chasing the Storm".

A scene you can *easily* picture the silhouette of a horseman strutting into. Haunted? Supernatural? A "mere" legendary gunslinger? Or perhaps just your everyday cowgirl out to see the stars when the clouds part and the moon shines...
"Twilight on the High Plains", captured by yours truly in eastern Montana.

"Taking the Sluice" is what this feels like...a sluice made for cars, and honestly...when you make a monochrome picture like this into an ink-sketch, it has that video-game world quality that makes many a landscape in the American West seem like an old friend.
Taken in Colorado on Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs last summer.

They lie down a road seldom traveled, but it's perhaps the most beautiful grassland in the world: the Palouse Hills. When the fields bloom and the long, warm days of summer hit them just right, it does something for the soul...
