At first look at this area of the Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island, one might think it is a relatively young forest. That is not the case. The trees and other vegetation are stunted due to the wet and acidic soil conditions. Actually very few plants can actually grow in this area. One of these is the shore pine, which is the only type of tree that grows here. The most prominent type of vegetation is the Sphagnum moss. The moss covers most of the bog and is 1-2 meters thick and up to 400 years old. The lack of nutrients caused by the unique conditions has created something that resembles a small bonzi forest. This is a short hike on a boardwalk and well worth the trip.


I offer a variety of landscape, nature and wildlife images and fine art digital paintings. I also have many agricultural, farming and countryside images as well. Most of my work is from around the Pacific Northwest, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, British Columbia, and Alberta. Please look through my ga...

My photography focus is primarily nature and wildlife. I have a strong passion for the outdoors, capturing images that help preserve the numerous public lands and all that they offer. My travels take me all over the western united states to the common and not so common places. Many of my photos concentrate on the National Parks of Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Arches National Parks. Other areas of my travels include Moab Utah, Central Oregon, the Oregon coast and many areas around my home State of Washington. Take your time and enjoy my images.
