Random Photos

Here are a bunch of random photos. Feel free to reload the page to see some more!

A random taste of photos:
Seabirds taking off at Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape. Meteor Crater, a meteorite impact crater near Winslow Arizona (and the largest in the United States).
This fellow looks like a bee, but may be a hoverfly, AKA flower fly. Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me! Purple wildflowers dot a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California. Macro of a natural pink salt marsh.
Inside a hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach. Yellow coneflowers (I think). Red rock mountains in Sedona.
Red rose. A cyclist reflected in the water of a salt marsh rides across the horizon. On the left, a silvery green succulent plant of unknown species. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) On the right, a dark red and green succulent groundcover plant, Sedum spurium, AKA Bronze Carpet Stonecrop.
A big carpenter bee diving into the morning glory. Bright yellow-green leaves against a clear blue sky. This building reminded me of an old decrepit church. (It was probably an emergency snow cabin or something.) Natural CO2 outgassing from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s. The gasses become concentrated to deadly levels in enclosed structures such as cabins.
Pink and white wildflowers grace a tree-lined hill in Pacheco State Park, California. This fellow looks like a bee, but may be a hoverfly, AKA flower fly. Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me! Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
A shed cicada skin among orange Marigold flowers. Chihuahua skull on a black background. A closeup of a brown and white pinto horse\'s mane.
Yellow wildflowers at Mono Lake. Ground squirrel, ready for his closeup on the boardwalk. Tufa backed by snow-dotted mountains at Mono Lake.
A crescent moon hangs in the night sky above Morro Rock. Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant. Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico.
Closeup of dried green bamboo stalks strung together with black rope. A fallen tree sleeps among the hills in Pacheco State Park, California. Green Shield Bug (Palomena prasina) -- I think! Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me.
