Utah has such diverse scenery. It's not all arches, canyons and red rock towers. The La Sal Mountains outside of Moab offer some spectacular fall colours and this stormy October day was just perfect. The pond offered the ideal reflection just as the light peaked on the mountains and gorgeous yellow aspens.

Rain, rain, so much rain. If you can't handle rain, don't go to Scotland.

At first I thought there was no chance of capturing a worthy shot but a short gap in the almost constant rain revealed a subtle reflection in the lake and I knew I had a short window of time before it vanished.

After photographing a lupin field I felt a tickle on my neck only to find a hitchhiking caterpillar. I decided to pull over near this pond to let him out. While placing him on some shrubs I noticed the light painting this mountain in gorgeous golden hues so I just had to take a moment to make this image. Thanks hitcher.

I waited years for these conditions in my favourite forest on Vancouver Island. I made countless fruitless visits with the hopes of encountering fog only for it to evaporate as I climbed the hill. On this day however, the conditions were perfect and I knew just the tree to make my vision come to life. Can you see the tortured souls trapped on the trunk?

There's nothing quite like sunlight that's bouncing off the moon to light up a beautiful scene like this. After photographing this same composition during sunset I couldn't wait to try it out once we got full dark. I was not disappointed.

Donegal is a treasure trove of spectacular coastal scenery and this three hour hike to the sea stacks of the Atlantic was well worth the sweat equity. We braved fields of sheep cakes, death defying cliff edges and ankle breaking post holes to reach this majestic overlook just in time for the sun to go down over the ocean.

Where else but Scotland can you go out on a day of sideways rain and hope to capture a book-worthy image? These misty mountains don't look half as good on a blue sky day. As the saying goes "there's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".

It's hard to take a bad photo of this majestic waterfall if you know when to arrive. We showed up just before midnight during the early July sunset to watch the spectacle and it was totally worth the drenching.
