I traveled north to Bellingham and spent time exploring the beauty of Whatcom Falls Park. 
The rushing water, moss-covered rocks, and towering evergreens created a peaceful scene that felt both wild and welcoming. Walking the forested trails, I found countless opportunities to appreciate the textures, colors, and movement that make the Pacific Northwest so distinctive. The historic stone bridge spanning the falls provided
a perfect vantage point to watch the water tumble below. Visits like this remind me that while the Olympic Peninsula is home, there are remarkable natural treasures throughout Washington that continue to inspire my photography.
