Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Grand Canyon, Arizona A lone purple wisteria flower. Tall tufa tower at Mono Lake.
\ 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 and orange flower.
A white, orange and black koi fish in a shallow green pond. You can see the barbels (slender, whisker-like sensory organs near the fish's mouth). Black birds sit atop tufa towers at Mono Lake. Still marsh water reflects faded hills within a curved shoreline.
A dead windblown tree near Mammoth Lakes, California. Moss-covered stones in a grassy field in Pacheco State Park, California. Crystal Crag and broken rocks face off at TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which).
A fence constructed of driftwood, seaweed, and wire on the beach. White daisy-like flowers and a red wildflower near a stream. Pink salt marsh.
Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. Green grapes and leaves.
Rough textured bark on the trunk of a tree. Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon. A depth marker stands upright in the stagnant green river of a salt marsh.
A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background. An American flag flies on the beach near Morro Rock while children and adults play in the water nearby. Leopard shark.
Tufa towers frame snow-dotted mountains at Mono Lake. A male seagull, standing. 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.
Golden bumblebee or carpenter bee with green eyes. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Blue dragonfly on a pine tree.
