A random taste of photos:
A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. Overlapping rusty saw blades. A surfer carrying his board on the beach at Morro Bay, California.
This is either a Sharp-shinned Hawk or a Cooper\'s Hawk, eating a smaller bird. I believe it is a juvenile (fledged some weeks ago). This hawk family lived in a eucalyptus tree on a golf course. Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui. A shed cicada skin among orange Marigold flowers.
Macro of a natural pink salt marsh. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, with a blurred green background. A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background.
Closeup of dried green bamboo stalks strung together with black rope. Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Closeup of purple wisteria flowers against a blurred green background.
Leopard shark. 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. I have no idea what kind of plant this is. The stems resemble rosemary, and the red- or purple-speckled 2-lobed seed pods or flowers resemble spotted pillows. Any help identifying this strange plant would be appreciated!
Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Peacock showing off his beautiful plumage to the ladies. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone.
A boardwalk bridge spans stagnant green water in a salt marsh. Blue dragonfly on a pine tree. Red rock mountains tower over the city of Sedona at twilight.
Paw prints (probably raccoon) and bird tracks in dried mud. Yellow and orange flower. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Closeup of purple wisteria flowers against a blurred green background. Red rock mountains fade progressively into the distance in Sedona. Closeup of Shoshone Falls (sometimes called the
Fluffy white clouds crest a hill in Idaho. Closeup of Shoshone Falls (sometimes called the Strange and wonderful geology in the northern part of Yosemite National Park, from Hwy 120.
