Forest

Back to Hollenbeck (again)

2023/03/192023/03/19
A jungle of Coast Live Oak and Poison-oak vine in the riparian woodland at Hollenbeck Canyon, Jamul, California; March 2023.

A few days ago my friend Kevin and I went for a hike at Hollenbeck Canyon, where I hadn’t been in quite a while. The creek that flows in the canyon doesn’t always run and after the recent rains, I was hoping to make a photo of it as the water is making its way through some rocks, that sort of thing.

Nine Forests, Ten Photos

2022/10/13
Maples with heavy moss cover and ferns growing on them, Olympic National Park, Washington; September 2022.

Our September/October road trip was, among other things, a tour of many forests. Needless to say: the number of photos that I made is absolutely overwhelming. We’ve seen so, so many beautiful places that it is hard to find a starting point. So for this post, I decided to make a one-of-each compilation from all the forests that we visited.
