Bachelor buttons (Centaurea cyanus) in late spring above Pine Grove in the Hood River Valley, with Mount Hood off in the distance. This view is a function of the close macro-focus on the foreground flowers – the mountain is actually much bigger than this to the naked eye.
My good buddy Bailey, looking down on central Oregon's Sparks Lake, with the glacier-capped volcanic peak of South Sister (10,358 ft – 3,157 m) rising up in the background.
The giant of the Cascades, reflected in the aptly named Reflection Lakes. In Washington's Mount Rainier National Park. I can't wait to get back to the Pacific Northwest.
