A random taste of photos:
Danger sign near Wailua Falls. Locals use it for target practice. It reads: “Danger. Stop - Do not enter! Slippery rocks at top of falls. People have been killed. Keep out. State of Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources.” Succulent plants growing in the beach sand in Morro Bay, California. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Many caprocks are visible here.
Trees on a hill in Pacheco State Park, California. Crystal Crag and broken rocks face off at TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which). 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.
Tufa towers at Mono Lake. A pair of snails meet on a wood post. A rough stepped dirt pathway down into Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
A green, red, and black spotted bug on a Celosia leaf. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info! Maybe some kind of shield beetle?) Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. A black and purple wasp-like creature with red legs and a long stinger or ovipositor (egg-laying organ). Possibly a female Ichneumon wasp -- Pimpla? If someone knows for sure, I\'d love to be enlightened!
Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background. A \ Shoshone Falls (sometimes called the
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. Rough textured bark on the trunk of a tree. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Green grapes and leaves. Red roses. Red berries and green leaves.
A tadpole with legs in the shallow water of TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which). A wall of \ Yellow wildflowers lead to a pond in Pacheco State Park, California.

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 vacant paper wasp nest held in my fingertips. The nest is constructed of open hexagonal cells in which the young develop. A strange alien-looking red succulent plant grows on a scrubby coastal region.
A white, orange and black koi fish in a shallow green pond. Koi fish in a pond of water. Green grapes and leaves near a wired wooden fence post.
