A random taste of photos:
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!) \ Red and black leaves on a plant.
A female seagull resting on one leg on a coastal cliff. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Natural CO2 emissions from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s.
Miner\'s Lettuce. Round skylights on the Living Roof atop the California Academy of Sciences. Bright yellow-green leaves against a dark black background.
A wall of wine bottles. 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. Strange lava formations near Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui.
Red rock mountains fade progressively into the distance in Sedona. Broken rocks colored with lichen near a lake. Purple and yellow pansies.
A log in the middle of a cracked boulder. Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, showing off and looking for a handout. Macro of orange plants. This photo was taken by Geneva Hudspeth and put in the Creative Commons with her permission.
A male seagull, standing. The still water of a salt marsh reflects sky and clouds. Closeup of red and yellow leaves or petals of a tropical plant.
A collection of bones and stones on a round post surrounded by red rock. Fish at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, looking for a handout.
Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui. A \ Tufa and scrub at Mono Lake.
A seagull standing on a post with the ocean in the 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. Grand Canyon, Arizona
