A random taste of photos:
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. Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. Pink salt marsh.
A handsome grasshopper. Peacock showing off his beautiful plumage to the ladies. Orange sunset at the beach in Morro Bay.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Tufa at Mono Lake. Green succulent plants that resemble artichokes.
High voltage tower reflected in the water of a pink salt marsh. Tiny pink blooms on a flower stalk from a Heuchera plant, AKA Coral Bells. Bright yellow-green leaves against a clear blue sky.
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. A garden of succulent plants overlook the ocean in Laguna. Kapalua Beach on Maui.
A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Near Mammoth Lakes. I\'m not sure which lake this is; there are so many!
Closeup of red and yellow leaves or petals of a tropical plant. Strange and wonderful geology in the northern part of Yosemite National Park, from Hwy 120. Bright yellow-green leaves against a clear blue sky.
A pair of snails meet on a wood post. Slot canyon in Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Bright pink flowers gather around a fencepost.  (If anyone knows the flower species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!)
Bright yellow green leaves against a dark black background. Green hummingbird hovering at a backyard feeder. White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
Flowers, leaves and moss growing on a brick wall. Bumblebee on a purple columbine flower. 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.
