Finishing out the year with the eight photos that got the highest engagement in 2016. Number 1 is a footbridge across the East Fork Whitewater River in downtown Richmond, where I was spending a weekend with other publishers, editors and writers. #Richmond #1988 #EastForkWhitewaterRiver #Indiana

Finishing out the year with the eight photos that got the highest engagement in 2016. Number 2 is a view of Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach from the road. I avoid romantic photos (and people), but this was the morning after my brother's wedding, and these two strangers - the way they leaned in to talk - seemed the perfect illustration. #HaystackRock #CannonBeach #ClatsopCounty #Oregon

Finishing out the year with the eight photos that got the highest engagement in 2016. Number 7 is a bridge along the trail to Soapstone Lake. The meadow beyond this bridge is covered in daffodils in early spring. I come here a lot. #SoapstoneLake #SoapstoneCreek #ClatsopCounty #Oregon

Finishing out the year with the eight photos that got the highest engagement in 2016. Number 8 is a hike along the Clatsop Loop at Ecola State Park in some really good fog. A heavy storm - wind and rain - meant I was alone on the trail that day. It was perfect. #ClatsopLoop #EcolaStatePark #CannonBeach #ClatsopCounty #Oregon
