Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Wildflowers color a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California. A big carpenter bee diving into the morning glory. Orange poppies alongside purple and yellow wildflowers on a hill in Pacheco State Park, California.
Black-necked stilts (birds) make dark trails through marsh water that curves through a colorful landscape. A handsome grasshopper. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone.
Chihuahua skull on a black background. Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Sun-bleached driftwood tree trunk on the beach.
Trees traverse the hills in Pacheco State Park, California. Green landscape in Pacheco State Park, California. I believe the body of water shown is the San Luis Reservoir. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Red rock mountains in Sedona. A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. An empty snail shell impaled on a stick and covered with spider webs.
A mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, California. Can you see the jackrabbit? He\'s decently camouflaged. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Meteor Crater, a meteorite impact crater near Winslow Arizona (and the largest in the United States). 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 frame of \
Hummingbird hovering and drinking from a hanging feeder. Near Nakalele Blowhole. A fallen tree sleeps among the hills in Pacheco State Park, California.
Creamy colors blend with orange, red, yellow, mauve, green and blue in this textured landscape. This photo was taken by Geneva Hudspeth and put in the Creative Commons with her permission. A flimsy fence somehow manages to contain a huge hill in Pacheco State Park, California. 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!)
The rugged green cliffs of the Nā Pali coast, seen from a helicopter. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, with a blurred green background. The mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. It felt sacred to me, a between-place, a place of transition and transformation.
