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 gnarled tree stands alone on a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California. A pair of snails meet on a wood post. A vacant paper wasp nest held in the palm of my hand. The nest is constructed of open hexagonal cells in which the young develop.
Macro of a purple flower with yellow pollen and green stems.  (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) \ A collection of bones and stones on a round post surrounded by red rock.
A red wildflower near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is. California Condor female, tagged number 33, soaring overhead against a clouded blue sky. Colorful plants grow on the bank of the green waters of a salt marsh.
Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. Ground squirrel, alert in the scrub brush. Red rock mountains fade progressively into the distance in Sedona.
Thorny branches and a blue sky. Green landscape in Pacheco State Park, California. I believe the body of water shown is the San Luis Reservoir. Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, showing off and looking for a handout.
Tufa at Mono Lake. Grand Canyon, Arizona Sign above a restroom: \
A green, red, and black spotted bug on a Celosia flower.  (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!  Maybe some kind of shield beetle?) Wildflowers color a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California. Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Crystal jellyfish. Bright yellow-green leaves against a dark black background. Ground squirrel, ready for his closeup on the boardwalk.
A man stands on the beach, gazing toward Morro Rock. A flimsy fence somehow manages to contain a huge hill in Pacheco State Park, California. A zig-zaggy boardwalk on the salt marshes.
Interesting mountain shapes near Mammoth Lakes. \ Closeup of dried green bamboo stalks strung together with black rope.
