Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
A vacant paper wasp nest held in my fingertips. The nest is constructed of open hexagonal cells in which the young develop. Footprints in the mud of a salt marsh. Red and black leaves on a plant.
Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. 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.
These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. A purple flower near Mammoth Mountain. Sunbeams filter down through an aquarium full of a variety of fish (including sharks, surgeonfish, unicornfish, and others.)
A snail -- or, as I like to call them, a snailien -- shows off translucent skin. Wildflowers dot a field under a bright sky in Pacheco State Park, California. 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!)
Closeup of purple wisteria flowers against a blurred green background. Red rock mountains in Sedona. An open seed pod with fuzzy seeds, on the stalk next to two buds.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A twisted fallen tree near Horseshoe Lake. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, translucent and silhouetted against a background of blue sky.
Vegetation surrounds a mossy rock. Seabirds in Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Near Nakalele Blowhole.
Closeup of a black carpenter bee with iridescent wings on purple wisteria flowers. Grand Canyon, Arizona Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape.
A pine tree near Mammoth Lakes. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Red roses. Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background.
Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon. Tiny yellow and white wildflowers dot a hill in Pacheco State Park, California. Rough textured bark on the trunk of a tree.
