Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Nawiliwili Bay. 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. 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.
Purple coral with yellow tentacles. I believe this is plate coral, a large polyp stony (LPS) coral often referred to as a Disk, Mushroom, Chinaman, Fungia Plate, or Tongue Coral. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Red rock mountains tower over the city of Sedona at twilight. Succulents grow in strangely textured earth left behind by a dry salt marsh.
Two ground squirrels on a post, one sitting and one climbing. Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background. A delicate pink flower brightens up a plain earthy brown background.
Little purple flowers growing in beach sand. It resembles sand verbena, but I\'m not sure. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) A man stands on the beach, gazing toward Morro Rock. Ground squirrel, sitting on a post.
Driftwood litters the beach near the mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Macro of a purple flower with yellow pollen and green stems. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape.
Tufa along the shore at Mono Lake. Sea Nettle Jellyfish Sea Nettle Jellyfish
A fallen tree sleeps among the hills in Pacheco State Park, California. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. A green bush at Mono Lake.
Shadows of two people on a bridge reflect in murky green water. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Palm trees against a blue sky.
A surfer carrying his board on the beach at Morro Bay, California. A zig-zaggy boardwalk leads to the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California. Upside down jellyfish with blue tentacles.
