*The Dune Sea* Have a peaceful weekend...

Beauty & Heartbreak - While I stood here watching the Pacific light up the sky, my home state of North Carolina was reeling from Hurricane Helene. A year later, I still think about the contrast: beauty in one place, heartbreak in another. #landscapephotograpy

Coquina sunrise…
Grateful for mornings like these that remind me to pause and take it all in. Standing among the moss-covered coquina rocks near Ft. Fisher NC, with the tide gently rolling in, it can feel like time slows down. #landscapephotography

*Spring's Summit* One from the archives in 2019...taken on a cool, misty Spring morning trip to Roan Mountain. I'm guessing the blooms are about to be in full swing, and I'm hoping to maybe find time for a day trip. #landscapephotography

*Desert Etchings* Another from Death Valley.... The badlands are one of my favorite spots to photograph out there. The erosion patterns and how the light plays off the eroding rolling mounds is just perfect...to me. Have a great weekend! #landscapephotography

*Emerald Forest Flow* The creeks were flowing really well during my recent Smokies trip. Absolutely worth getting the feet wet for. #landscapephotography

*Dune(s)* More from DV... Interesting to catch the dunes from this perspective during a nasty windstorm earlier this year. If you've been to DV, you know the winds I'm talking about...if not, 😆 just be prepared for a random *windy* day to deal with. #landscapephotography

One from earlier this year in Death Valley... It was a pleasant surprise to find these new, clean salt polygons again this year...and catch them with a rare burning sunset. #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

*Those Smoky Mountains* A good, but quick trip to the Smokies last weekend...spent dodging rain, looking for spring greens, fog and fast moving water. A little bit of everything. #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

Hope everyone has a happy Easter weekend! #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

A few Smokies spring images from last year's trip... Hoping to get back up there soon. #landscapephotography

*Desert Harmony* A beautiful morning on the dunes and some fresh windswept ripples. Every visit, I love to see how the early morning light shines on the nearby range of mountains... Have a great weekend! #landscapephotography

*Frosted* Some frosty mud at sunrise from last month's trip back to Death Valley. Had a fantastic time and thanks to my friend Mary for spotting this as I was about to walk right by... #landscapephotography

*Salty Sunset* Looking forward to some time behind the camera again soon as another trip out west to the land of extremes is closing in. #landscapephotography

*Wizard* One from foggy Bandon Beach to match this morning's fog here in NC. The formation looks a Wizard's hat...but looks like seal to me from this angle.
Enjoy the bit of normal temps this morning...I'm not ready for the bitter cold the next few days. #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

So, you're saying there's a chance... Haven't seen snow here in the Charlotte area in what seems like forever. Fingers crossed to see at least a bit. #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

Seeing the milky way along the rugged Oregon coast was a pretty special experience; some very dark spots out there. 2024 has flown by...how can it be less than a few weeks left! #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

*Fog Layers* From my first (but not last) quick trip to the Oregon coast earlier this year. Some great fog layers this particular morning as the sun was starting to rise behind the mountainous coastline. Hope you're having a great weekend! #landscapephotography

[Jason Frye @jason_frye]

*Leaf Litter* No fall trips for me this year. The recovery in our mountains continues. Our folks are Mountain Strong though! Help or donate if you can. This one is from Big Creek last yr and who knows when it’ll be accessible again. #landscapephotography

*The Late Show* The light was fading as fast as the color on this late October evening (almost a couple of years back) in the Smokies. It's going to be a busy fall, but I'm hoping to break away for a *quick* trip or two. Hope everyone's having a great week! #landscapephotography
