Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Natural CO2 emissions from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s. Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Hills and mountains backed by a blue sky.
A boardwalk bridge spans the stagnant green water of a salt marsh near a colorful bank. Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Near Nakalele Blowhole.
Pink flower closeup against a green background. Two people cast shadows onto shallow water at the Alviso salt marshes. Red and gray rock cliffs and towers in Sedona.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A fallen coconut at the mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. A bee hovering over a purple flower at the beach in Morro Bay, California.
A lone purple wisteria flower. 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. Near Nakalele Blowhole.
A male seagull perched on a light post against a pale foggy sky. A black and white spotted beetle on a morning glory stem. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) A white and gray spotted bird on the boardwalk.
A fallen coconut at the mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. A closeup of a brown and white pinto horse\'s mane. Danger sign near Wailua Falls. Locals use it for target practice. It reads: “Danger. Do not go beyond wall. State of Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources.”
California Academy of Sciences \ Dolphin weathervane on a lonely beach. Succulents grow in strangely textured earth left behind by a dry salt marsh.
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. Near Mammoth Lakes. I\'m not sure which lake this is; there are so many! Tufa and scrub at Mono Lake.
Seabirds flying over the waves at Morro Bay, California. A male seagull, closeup. Looking up at a grove of tall trees.
