Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. 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!)
Soaptree yucca plant at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Petrified logs against a cloudy blue sky. Pelicans and other sea birds congregate on an islet.
The majestic tuxedo cat in his natural habitat (the lawn). Nene, or Hawaiian goose. The official state bird. This one was very friendly and came close, looking for a handout. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone.
Closeup of green, yellow and red leaves of a plant. Macro of a sunlit spider web (sans spider). 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 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!) Succulents grow in strangely textured earth left behind by a dry salt marsh.
White daisy-like flowers and a red wildflower near a stream. Sap stalactites dripping from a tree limb, with a blurred green background. A twisted fallen tree near Horseshoe Lake.
A depth marker stands upright in the stagnant green river of a salt marsh. Closeup of Shoshone Falls (sometimes called the \
Hikina'akala Heiau. Remains of an ancient temple constructed from lava rocks. Green tree-dotted hills converge to form a small stream valley in Pacheco State Park, California. Near Nakalele Blowhole.
A strolling blackbird. A delicate pink flower brightens up a plain earthy brown background. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A man walks a lonely road.
A field of yellow coneflowers (I think) in a forest. Trees traverse the hills in Pacheco State Park, California. An American flag flies proudly over a patio near Morro Rock.
