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

A random taste of photos:
Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. A shed cicada skin among orange Marigold flowers. Colorful rough-textured rock.
A lavender daisy-like wildflower by a stream. A \ These finger-like plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater.
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. A greenish-yellow wildflower. It looks like maybe the buds haven\'t opened yet. Yellow wildflowers (and some sort of flying insect) at Mono Lake.
A red wildflower by a stream near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is. Interesting mountain shapes and shadows near Mammoth Lakes. Strange and wonderful geology in the northern part of Yosemite National Park, from Hwy 120.
Lovely marsh muck. Black rocks on Kapalua Beach on Maui. Mourning dove sitting on a wooden fence near a field of weeds.
Some kind of green fuzzy seed pod plant growing wild. (If you know the species, please let me know and I\'ll add the info!) Yellow roses. Purple coral with yellow tentacles. I believe this is plate coral, a large polyp stony (LPS) coral often referred to as a Disk, Mushroom, Chinaman, Fungia Plate, or Tongue Coral.
Dragon's Teeth, Kapalua, Maui. A fallen tree near Mammoth Mountain. Natural CO2 emissions from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona.
A man stands on the beach, gazing toward Morro Rock. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. Macro of a bright yellow flower at the beach.
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!) Near Nakalele Blowhole. Dripping mushrooms in green grass.
A boardwalk bridge spans the stagnant green water of a salt marsh near a colorful bank. Yellow wildflowers in front of tufa towers at Mono Lake. Paw prints (probably raccoon) and bird tracks in dried mud.
