  • Springtime means lots of melting snow in the Cascade Mountains to the west, and can be an exciting time to watch the explosive, often-violent and icy whitewater rapids as gravity forces water over submerged rocks and knocked-down trees. Here banks reach their ultimate capacity at Cowiche Creek in Yakima County, WA.

  • Cowiche Creek in Yakima County, WA is a critically important waterway for coho and chinook salmon, as well as the endangered steelhead trout. Also found in the same waterway system are beaver as well as a host of supporting plant communities and wildlife as it passed through desert-steppe terrain. This photograph was taken in spring as melting snow in the springtime creates a surge in snowmelt runoff through Cowiche Canyon.

  • The mighty Tieton River as it flows out out the Cascade Mountains and through White Pass on it's way to Naches, Washington.

  • Zebra longwing butterfly seen in the Corkscrew Swamp. These are extremely common in South Florida, but maddening to try to photograph because of their rapid and erratic flight.

  • Largest and heaviest of our native North American deer, moose are rapidly declining in numbers due to a number of factors other than habitat loss. Increasing numbers of white-tail and black-tail deer due to predator decline are introducing new parasitic diseases such as brainworm and liver fluke into already stressed populations of adult breeding moose. This cow was seen foraging in a pond near the Idaho-Wyoming border near Jackson Hole.

  • Smooth sumac spreads rapidly once the first plant becomes established in an area. This native member of the cashew family produces very beautiful bright green leaves in the spring that turn to bright scarlet in the winter. Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest traditionally smoked these dried leaves for medicinal uses, such as treating ulcers.
