Between the Trees and the Sky

To pay attention to birds is to live in rhythm with the world. You start to notice seasons not by the calendar, but by song. You hear the wind, not just feel it. You learn that stillness is a skill.

This gallery is a celebration of those encounters—raptors suspended mid-air, warblers glowing in spring green, seabirds dissolving into ocean spray. These are fragments of time, pulled from hikes, campgrounds, and van windows across the Pacific Northwest and wherever curiosity has taken me.

Birding is how I root myself. Photography is how I remember. This is a space for both.
