Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
This is either a Sharp-shinned Hawk or a Cooper\'s Hawk, eating a smaller bird. I believe it is a juvenile (fledged some weeks ago). This hawk family lived in a eucalyptus tree on a golf course. 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 and black leaves on a plant.
Wildflowers brighten a grove of trees in Pacheco State Park, California. A surfer carrying his board on the beach at Morro Bay, California. A deep red and pink geranium flower over a green leafy background.
A live cicada on my house. Ground squirrel, standing on a post with a blurred background. Colorful plants grow on the bank of the green waters of a salt marsh.
Morro Rock reflected in rippled wet sand and backed by fluffy white clouds on a dreamy evening. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. A young woman on the boardwalk at the Alviso salt marshes.
Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant. A roll of hay in a green field backed by trees, mountains, and fluffy white clouds. Yellow wildflowers lead to a pond in Pacheco State Park, California.
Koi fish in a pond of water. A white, orange and black koi fish in a shallow green pond. An albino alligator resides at the California Academy of Sciences.
Palm trees against a clear blue sky. Strange and wonderful geology in the northern part of Yosemite National Park, from Hwy 120. California Academy of Sciences \
A black and purple wasp-like creature with red legs and a long stinger or ovipositor (egg-laying organ). Possibly a female Ichneumon wasp -- Pimpla? If someone knows for sure, I\'d love to be enlightened! A \ Lovely marsh muck collects near the bank. Egrets are barely visible in the distance.
A field of yellow coneflowers (I think) in a forest. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A green rowboat chained on the shore at Horseshoe Lake.
Three slivers of light peek through the boardwalk onto the crusted and cracked salt mud. A small wave crests near the rocky shore, against a foggy blurred horizon. Green landscape in Pacheco State Park, California. I believe the body of water shown is the San Luis Reservoir.
