Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, showing off and looking for a handout. Yellow pansies in front of a green leafy background. Green hummingbird hovering at a backyard feeder.
A fallen tree sleeps among the hills in Pacheco State Park, California. A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background. Labyrinth near Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui.
Thorny branches and a blue sky. Tree-rich hills in Pacheco State Park, California. A purple African daisy with a blue and yellow center, on a blurred green background.
A zig-zaggy boardwalk leads to the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California. Pine tree needles and bark. These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater.
Leopard shark. A large gray and silver koi fish in a shallow green pond. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, with a blurred green background.
A red wildflower near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is. Red and yellow berries on a green tree. Petrified wood appears as colorful stone.
Lingcod fish skeleton. Nasty sharp point teeth. A female seagull resting on one leg on a coastal cliff. Danger sign near Wailua Falls. Locals use it for target practice. It reads: “Danger. Stop - Do not enter! Slippery rocks at top of falls. People have been killed. Keep out. State of Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources.”
A bee hovering over a purple flower at the beach in Morro Bay, California. Egrets, pelicans and other sea birds near an islet. 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.
A strange alien-looking red succulent plant grows on a scrubby coastal region. Closeup of spiky green and red leaves on a bush resembling holly (though I\'m not sure that\'s what it is). A white and gray spotted bird on the boardwalk.
This fellow looks like a bee, but may be a hoverfly, AKA flower fly. Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me! Red rose. A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background.
