OK, so I missed a few weeks, being in Hawaii, and dealing with work craziness for the couple following. Haven't had a whole lot of time to dig into photos of the trip. Also been distracted a bit with JMT plans and prepping. But I have completed my transfer of over 1,100 photos and will now start sifting thru, as well as start working on the five GPS tracks that will soon be going up on Backpacker.com. The areas around the island that I wound up photographing the most were Haleakala Crater, the northwest coast and the Nakalele Blowhole, La Perouse Bay in the south, and the Wai'anapanapa State Park and Waimoku Falls trail near Hana. And whales - lots of whales. Even managed to catch a few breaching! Quite an incredible sight to see. I probably won't be overloading the site with photos, but rather post a small sample selection from each area.
In other news, I just completed my second feature article for
Washington Trails magazine - this one about waterfalls and wildflowers in the Columbia River Gorge. Look for that piece, along with several photos in the May/Jun issue coming out in about another month. Also, I'm especially looking forward to the May issue of
Backpacker as there will be a short feature about
me (!!!) and my favorite hikes around the Northwest.
This weekend its off to Crater Lake in southern OR for some snowshoeing and - of course - photo shooting. More to add to the already long list of imagery to sort thru...
