Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Wailua Falls. 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. Staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum), growing on a tree.
A bee coming in for a landing on a purple thistle. A white, orange and black koi fish in a shallow green pond. You can see the barbels (slender, whisker-like sensory organs near the fish's mouth). A cyclist reflected in the water of a salt marsh rides across the horizon.
Can you see the jackrabbit? He\'s decently camouflaged. Seabirds taking off at Morro Bay, California. (If anyone knows the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Rotting logs and a garbage bag partially submerged in the murky green water of a marsh.
Closeup of green, yellow and red leaves of a plant. Marsh water curves through a colorful landscape. Yellow wildflowers lead to a pond in Pacheco State Park, California.
A mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, California. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. Many caprocks are visible here. A flimsy fence somehow manages to contain a huge hill in Pacheco State Park, California.
Grand Canyon, Arizona Hikina'akala Heiau. Remains of an ancient temple constructed from lava rocks. Wailua Falls.
Pelicans and other sea birds congregate on an islet. Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant. Tufa tower in Mono Lake.
Yellow wildflowers at Mono Lake. The rugged green cliffs of the Nā Pali coast, seen from a helicopter. Bright yellow-green leaves against a clear blue sky.
Thorny branches and a blue sky. Remnants of a fence falling into Dinosaur Lake in Pacheco State Park, California. A gnarled tree stands alone on a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California.
The shores of Horseshoe Lake. A twisted fallen tree near Horseshoe Lake. White clouds in a brilliant blue sky over a hill in Pacheco State Park, California.
