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 red rock stands out among gray ones in a creek in Sedona. Wailua River. A wall of wine bottles.
Two tall trees on a hill overlook the ocean and a clear blue sky in Laguna. Closeup of a blue dragonfly on a pinecone. Yellow sunflower.
Lavender or purple flower against a blurred green background. A shed cicada skin among orange Marigold flowers. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Many caprocks are visible here.
A vacant paper wasp nest held in my fingertips. The nest is constructed of open hexagonal cells in which the young develop. A natural pink salt marsh. Orange poppies alongside purple and yellow wildflowers on a hill in Pacheco State Park, California.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A red wildflower by a stream near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is. Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant.
Green Shield Bug (Palomena prasina) -- I think! Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me. 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. Pelicans and other sea birds congregate on an islet.
These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. Rotting logs and a garbage bag partially submerged in the murky green water of a marsh. \
A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. Orange and brown fungus growing with green moss among the forest detritus. Peacock showing off his beautiful plumage to the ladies.
Convict Lake near Mammoth Lakes, California. \ A female seagull resting on one leg on a coastal cliff.
Closeup of a blue dragonfly on a pinecone. Footprints in the mud of a salt marsh. Red and black leaves on a plant.
