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

A random taste of photos:
Painted Desert landscape with a cloud-dotted 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. A tree appears to draw light from Heaven.
A colorful train rolls through the Arizona landscape near the New Mexico border. Seabirds taking off at Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. An old decrepit abandoned building in the toxic dead tree zone near Mammoth Mountain. (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. Yellow roses.
Upside down jellyfish with blue tentacles. Red rock towers in Sedona. Sunbeams filter down through an aquarium full of a variety of fish (including sharks, surgeonfish, unicornfish, and others.)
Wailua River. A brightly colored kayaker paddles by tufa towers in Mono Lake. 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 dead windblown tree near Mammoth Lakes, California. Red roses. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.
A barn owl viewed through a veil of green pine tree branches. Lacework clouds grace the Sedona sky at sunset.  Children playing on the shore of TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which).
These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Thorny branches and a blue sky.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A flimsy fence somehow manages to contain a huge hill in Pacheco State Park, California. Crystal Crag and broken rocks face off at TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which).
