A random taste of photos:
California Academy of Sciences \ A tight cluster of thin red-orange seaweed at the beach. 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.
The pear-shaped fruit of the California Buckeye. An empty sun-bleached snail shell. Orange sunset at the beach in Morro Bay.
Yellow wildflowers (and some sort of flying insect) at Mono Lake. \ A large gray and silver koi fish in a shallow green pond.
Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Macro of a natural pink salt marsh. A dead windblown tree near Mammoth Lakes, California.
Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho. Seabirds at Morro Bay, California. A wall of \
Giant yellow flower on a zucchini plant. Hoodoos at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico. A red wildflower by a stream near Mammoth Lakes. It resembles Indian Paintbrush, but I\'m not sure what it is.
Wonderful geology in the northern part of Yosemite National Park, from Hwy 120. Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. A colorful landscape and the stagnant green water of the salt marsh surround the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California.
A \ A succulent plant -- Crassula perforata variegata, AKA Necklace Vine or String of Buttons. Bright green leaves with dark red edges. This fellow looks like a bee, but may be a hoverfly, AKA flower fly. Any entomologists out there are most welcome to correct me!
Beautiful hills and wildflowers in Pacheco State Park, California. A foggy day on the rocky coast. Tufa towers at Mono Lake.
Yellow wildflowers on stems that resemble rosemary. Deadwood on the shore of TJ Lake or Lake Barrett (not sure which). Hoodoos at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico.
