A random taste of photos:
An albino alligator resides at the California Academy of Sciences. Paw prints (probably raccoon) and bird tracks in dried mud. A male seagull, closeup.
A white and gray spotted bird on the boardwalk. Orange poppies alongside purple and yellow wildflowers on a hill in Pacheco State Park, California. A strolling blackbird.
Round skylights on the Living Roof atop the California Academy of Sciences. Some kind of green fuzzy seed pod plant growing wild. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) A lavender daisy-like wildflower by a stream.
A snail checks out the purple wisteria flowers. Egrets, pelicans and other sea birds near an islet. Red berries and green leaves.
\ Driftwood litters the beach near the mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Ground squirrel, alert in the scrub brush.
Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Colorful landscape surrounds a stagnant green river near the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California.
Near Mammoth Lakes. I\'m not sure which lake this is; there are so many! Tufa towers 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.
These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. Two people cast shadows onto shallow water at the Alviso salt marshes. A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes.
A mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, California. Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Seabirds in Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!)
The still, murky water of a salt marsh. Near Nakalele Blowhole. Peacock showing off his beautiful plumage to the ladies.
