Morning sun makes moss-covered trees glow brilliantly - along Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park.
James Island near La Push, Washington - viewed at sunset thru an opening in driftwood logs.
Someone was getting creative with driftwood. Found this log circle on Rialto Beach at sunset.

Tree of Life
"Tree of Life" - Kalaloch Beach, Olympic National Park. This large Sitka spruce tree keeps a tenuous bluff-hold via its roots, despite a small stream washing away its support.
Milky Way over sea stacks - Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park
Galactic Plane
The Milky Way lines up almost exactly with one of the sea stacks at Ruby Beach, in Olympic National Park.
Twilight
Quite often the most intense colors will appear in the sky in the hour between sunset & darkness. This is from last night at Ruby Beach just south of Forks, Washington. And no, I didn't see any vampires...
Sea stack with sun star - say that 5 times fast :-) This is the first small sea stack rock you see at the entrance to Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park. The sun star is an old-school "analog" trick: set your aperture as small as possible - f/22 in this case - and the lens diffraction will create these cool ray-shaped light flares.
The northern lights that were forecast last night never showed up - but it was still a beautiful clear evening along Hood Canal. Managed to capture about 90 minutes worth of the earth's rotation, plus a bonus ISS flyover at about 12:40am!
