Veratrum and Wildflowers (2010)
A summertime display of beautiful Veratrum and wildflowers in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness. I found this beautiful display of Veratrum and wildflowers during an early summer backpacking trip in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness of Oregon. Veratrum, also known as false hellebore or corn lily, is a plant commonly found in damp areas of the back-country. I was really excited to find this scene, since Veratrum and other wildflowers rarely grow in the same location.
Moss covered vine maples in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon.
I stumbled across this beautiful array of clover while exploring the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge of Washington during the springtime. The combination of color, shape and water droplets caught my eye and I spent a long time experimenting with different compositions here.
A fresh summertime display of Veratrum (Corn Lily) on Mt Hood, Oregon. I can spend hours exploring all of the different comps available in these plants.

Fog winding through the Sandy River Valley near the town of Sandy, Oregon. If you are driving to Mt Hood from Portland, it's worth stopping at the Jonsrud Viewpoint. The views can be spectacular!
