Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Orange and yellow flower (perhaps a daisy)? White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. The carcass of a large bird (species unknown) on the beach at Morro Bay, California.
A male seagull perched on a light post against a pale foggy sky. Bright yellow green leaves against a dark black background. 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!)
High voltage tower reflected in the water of a pink salt marsh. Petrified wood appears as colorful stone. An old decrepit abandoned building in the toxic dead tree zone near Mammoth Mountain. (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.
Delicate white Cyclamen flowers on a pale background. A field of yellow coneflowers (I think) in a forest. An American flag flies proudly over a patio near Morro Rock.
Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Orange and yellow flower (perhaps a daisy)? A \
Sunlight shines on bug-bitten veined green leaves and spider webs. A white mushroom on a fallen tree near Mammoth Lakes. Tufa backed by snow-dotted mountains at Mono Lake.
Ground squirrel, in front of the hole he calls home. Nawiliwili Bay. 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.
Macro of a fly, bright green acorns and oak leaves. Grand Canyon, Arizona Yellow wildflowers lead to a pond in Pacheco State Park, California.
Trees reaching for the sky. An old decrepit abandoned building in the toxic dead tree zone near Mammoth Mountain. (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. Trees reaching for the sky.
Inside a hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach. This pair of snails appear to be looking at something over my right shoulder. Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui.
