Zenness and Greenery at the Portland Japanese Garden

The sun shined so brightly on these plants and trees at the Portland Japanese Garden, making the gorgeous yellow-green hues of nature come to life. I loved how there were so many different shades of green in this scene, all so clear and concise with their own uniqueness in full display, creating a calmness that can only be found here.

Serenity and Sunlight at San Francisco's Ocean Beach

A simple view of the ocean that puts you at ease in an instant.

There was something with the fog, the clouds, the blue sky and the streaming sunlight (at a couple hours before sunset) mixed in together that really made this photo stand out to me. This is a simple capture but yet so special because of how these components blended in together, creating that classic beach scene.

Manhattan's Evolving Skyline at Sunset

100 floors above overlooking New York's stunning views across lower Manhattan and midtown.

Came at the perfect time to capture the day views and sunset views as the sun started to set, offering beautiful hints of yellow and pink hues across the entire skyline, with dusty, fading colors.
