Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
A wasp grasping a thin weed. (Taken through a chain-link fence.) Purple sea urchins, fish, and other undersea life. A black and white spotted beetle on a morning glory stem. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!)
Hikina'akala Heiau. Remains of an ancient temple constructed from lava rocks. A log in the middle of a cracked boulder. Ancient stones and gnarled trees share a grassy hillside in Pacheco State Park, California.
Lovely marsh muck, ringed by beautiful colors on a curving bank. Yellow and black warning sign with a skull and crossbones that says, A black crow sits near the crown of a tall tree against a clear blue sky. (If you know what kind of tree this is, please let me know!)
A rough stepped dirt pathway down into Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho. A garden snail examines the rings on a wood post.
Orange and brown fungus growing on a fallen tree trunk. Tufa towers in Mono Lake. Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui.
The rugged green cliffs of the Nā Pali coast, seen from a helicopter. Dried and cracked mud. Purple and yellow pansies.
A red wildflower by a stream near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is. 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 mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, California.
A vacant paper wasp nest held in my fingertips. The nest is constructed of open hexagonal cells in which the young develop. A crescent moon hangs in the night sky above Morro Rock. Bumblebee on a purple columbine flower.
Two people standing in the distance on a rocky coastal outcropping, looking at the ocean. Sun-bleached driftwood log on the beach. Red rock mountains tower over the city of Sedona at twilight.
Succulents grow in strangely textured earth left behind by a dry salt marsh. Closeup of a pink flower on a green and yellow background. Slot canyon in Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico.
