A random taste of photos:
Ground squirrel, sitting on a post. Tufa tower surrounded by yellow wildflowers at Mono Lake. A wall of wine bottles.
Macro of a natural salt marsh. Macro of a natural salt marsh. A green bush at Mono Lake.
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!) A collection of bones and stones on a round post surrounded by red rock. 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.
These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater. A snail climbs a purple wisteria plant. A wall of wine bottles.
A hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach. Tall tufa tower at Mono Lake. A hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach.
Egrets, pelicans and other sea birds near an islet. Lavender flowers on a green succulent plant at the beach. Slot canyon in Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico.
\ This fellow looks like a bee, but may be a hoverfly, AKA flower fly. Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me! Upside down jellyfish with blue tentacles.
Macro of natural salt. High voltage tower reflected in the water of a pink salt marsh. A dog\'s paw print in the wet beach sand.
Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, looking for a handout. Red berries and green leaves. A fallen coconut at the mouth of the Wailua River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean.
A cyclist reflected in the water of a salt marsh rides across the horizon. Thorny branches and a blue sky. A depth marker in a salt marsh shows stagnant green water to be lower than usual.
