Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum), growing on a tree. Orange sunset at the beach in Morro Bay. A dog\'s paw print in the wet beach sand.
Macro of a sunlit spider web (sans spider). Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background.
High voltage tower reflected in the water of a pink salt marsh. A mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, 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!)
Three slivers of light peek through the boardwalk onto the crusted and cracked salt mud. Yellow wildflowers (and some sort of flying insect) at Mono Lake. Colorful landscape surrounds a stagnant green river near the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California.
Meteor Crater, a meteorite impact crater near Winslow Arizona (and the largest in the United States). A green, red, and black spotted bug on a Celosia leaf. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info! Maybe some kind of shield beetle?) This building reminded me of an old decrepit church. (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.
Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape. Two ground squirrels on a post, one sitting and one climbing. Windmills on a hill along the skyline in Pacheco State Park, California.
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.” Tufa along the shore at Mono Lake. The still water of a salt marsh reflects sky and clouds.
Water-pumping windmill against a cloudy blue sky. California Academy of Sciences \ Colorful rough-textured rock.
The majestic tuxedo cat in his natural habitat (the lawn). Tufa towers at Mono Lake. A black crow sits near the crown of a tall tree against a clear blue sky, overlooking the ocean in Laguna. (If you know what kind of tree this is, please let me know!)
An old wooden water well in a Japanese garden, covered by bamboo stalks strung together. 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!) Raven in profile, closeup (somewhat).
