Fall Memories

As we finally settle in for the long dark and cold winter in the Pacific Northwest, I spent time catching up on some of my favorite photos from the year. Including this one from a backpacking trip to the eastern slopes of the Cascades in Washington.

Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest

First light in the glades

As the pre-dawn light was slowly whisked away by the rising sun, the sounds of the forest began to rise up: the chorus of crickets, the cacophony of storks and ibises, the shrieks of ospreys and the chatter of woodpeckers. Photos can do justice to the range of light, but never to the diversity of sounds.
