Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Koi fish in a pond of water. Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. Red rock mountains fade progressively into the distance in Sedona.
Red rock mountains in Sedona. Footprints in the mud of a salt marsh. Water-pumping windmill against a cloudy blue sky.
Palm trees against a gloomy overcast cloudy sky. An albino alligator resides at the California Academy of Sciences. Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background (portrait orientation).
Tiny yellow and white wildflowers dot a hill in Pacheco State Park, California. Seabirds taking off at Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) A green rowboat chained on the shore at Horseshoe Lake.
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!) A white and gray spotted bird on the boardwalk. Two tall trees on a hill overlook the ocean and a clear blue sky in Laguna.
A field of yellow coneflowers (I think) in a forest. A green and red succulent plant that resembles an artichoke. Tufa towers frame snow-dotted mountains at Mono Lake.
A fallen tree near Mammoth Mountain. Natural CO2 emissions from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s. This lumpy bumpy strange red sea creature is called a frogfish. These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater.
Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, looking for a handout. Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs (Phyllomedusa sauvagii).
Lavender flowers on a green succulent plant at the beach. A twisted fallen tree near Horseshoe Lake. A twisted fallen tree near Horseshoe Lake.
Succulents grow in strangely textured earth left behind by a dry salt marsh. 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. Macro of a natural salt marsh.
