Bixby Bridge south of Monterey is one of my favorite places to explore especially in the evening. The clouds were just starting to roll over the hills like a slow motion waterfall. #BigSur #BixbyCreekBridge #Monterey

Stone Lantern and Waterfall at the Portland Japanese Garden. I've always loved botanic gardens, and the Pacific North West has no shortage of beautiful gardens and parks, but one of my favorites is the Portland Japanese Garden. They even have some great Bonsai demonstrations…
