A random taste of photos:
Danger sign near Wailua Falls. Locals use it for target practice. It reads: “Danger. Do not go beyond wall. State of Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources.” Sunlight shines on bug-bitten veined green leaves and spider webs. Morro Rock ringed by mist, with greenery in the foreground.
A black and white spotted beetle on a morning glory stem. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Crystal Crag and broken rocks face off at TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which). Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.
Inside a hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach. Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Succulent plants growing in the beach sand in Morro Bay, California.
Delicate white Cyclamen flowers on a pale background. Tufa and scrub at Mono Lake. 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.
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!) Yellow wildflowers at Mono Lake. Closed buds on a flower stalk from a Heuchera plant, AKA Coral Bells.
A brightly colored kayaker paddles by tufa towers in Mono Lake. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, with a blurred green background. Tufa towers in Mono Lake.
Overlapping rusty saw blades. Macro of a natural salt marsh. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.
Dolphin weathervane on a lonely beach. Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Grand Canyon Supergroup - Hotauta conglomerate - 1,200 million year old rock
Peacock showing off his beautiful plumage to the ladies. Painted Desert landscape with a cloud-dotted blue sky. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone.
The shores of Horseshoe Lake. Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant. The mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. It felt sacred to me, a between-place, a place of transition and transformation.
