Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Closeup of a blue dragonfly on a pinecone. Round skylights on the Living Roof atop the California Academy of Sciences. A field of yellow coneflowers (I think) in a forest.
Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background (portrait orientation). Near Nakalele Blowhole. An American flag flies proudly over a patio near Morro Rock.
A male seagull and some other birds, standing on a coastal boardwalk. Orange and brown fungus growing with green moss among the forest detritus. A black and white spotted beetle on a morning glory leaf. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!)
Orange sunset at the beach in Morro Bay. Two white mushrooms in green grass. A zig-zaggy boardwalk leads to the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California.
I believe this is a blue morpho butterfly, resting on gray concrete. His poor wings look a little ragged. Golden bumblebee or carpenter bee with green eyes. 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.
A tadpole with legs in the shallow water of TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which). Dried and cracked mud. Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant.
A live cicada on my house. Seabirds at Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Sunlight shines on bug-bitten veined green leaves and spider webs.
Yellow wildflowers (and some sort of flying insect) at Mono Lake. A bright red and yellow sunflower in front of a green ivy-covered brick wall. Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape.
Closeup on an old dirty brown window. Yellow pansies in front of a green leafy background. A garden snail examines the rings on a wood post.
Petrified logs against a cloudy blue sky. Colorful rough-textured rock. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Many caprocks are visible here.
