I've taken a mail packet boat along the southern Newfoundland coast and spent some time on St. Pierre and Miquelon watching the seal colonies. I like pine trees. I like cold rivers.

Then after [the fire got into the pine trees], it was on.

We saw great increases, particularly along the coast and in Southern Oregon.

I've never liked the moment of seeing something beautiful - a sunset, a moose, an elephant - and then raising a camera and trying to capture it for some future moment. That's always struck me as strange.

The front of the tsunami was on the east coast. It took a turn at the southern tip, and the waves start bending at the edges.

I've never had a bug problem before the pine beetle problem on my trees.
