“Embarrassed”

Headed out on my days off from the gallery to take Foxy for a hike and shoot sunset. I have done a ton of hiking in the North Cascades, literally thousands of miles. I am embarrassed to say I had never done this hike before! What! How can that be? Did I think I had already done it? I don’t think so. In my mind are there just too many other good hikes in the area to return to? I am not sure how something like this can happen. I am perplexed. Or maybe the universe just wanted me to hold off to hike it at this time, in this moment, so I could have this experience. I will go with that, as Foxy and I had a truly magical experience. I loved the hike up through the Old Growth Forest, then breaking out into meadows, then hiking around the summit to come up the backside to discover a 360 view. (For now, this hike must remain unnamed, sorry) Then a beautiful night hike out! … I will certainly be back to shoot this again and again. A little earlier in the summer when wildflowers are out, as it looked like there was a ton, and again in the fall when the blueberries turn color. Whatever the reason this was not on my radar before it sure is now, and I cannot wait to do it again. Thank you so much for looking.

“Back from Banff”

I am back from Banff and in the gallery in Edmonds for a quick catch up and turn around before I head back out in the field to teach my Big Adventure in the Grand Tetons Class. What an amazing time I had in Banff and Yoho National Parks teaching another fantastic group of students. Even though the weather was not good when I left, Mother Nature treated us well and we had a few fantastic times of light. In this first post, this is actually my last morning in Banff at Lake Louise. I had already cut the class loose the day before but I wanted to catch one more sunrise before heading home. I am so glad I did as the light was amazing! Here is a four image series showing the progression of sunrise from blue hour into morning light. POW! Nailed it! That’s in the Bank! What a finish to a fantastic trip. Even though I said this class would be a one-0time only, I have had quite a few requests that I do it again. If you are interested and would like to be on the notification list, please PM me or send me an email to randall@randalljhodges.com. If there is enough interest, I will do it again next year, why not! Much more to come from this trip, thank you so much for looking!
