Random Photos

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

A random taste of photos:
Near Nakalele Blowhole. Tufa towers at Mono Lake. Wailua Falls.
Bumblebee on a purple columbine flower. A goat among sheep at Deer Hollow Farm. 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.
Ground squirrel, standing on a post. Yellow pansies in front of a green leafy background. Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico.
Ground squirrel, sitting on a post. I have no idea what kind of plant this is. The stems resemble rosemary, and the red- or purple-speckled 2-lobed seed pods or flowers resemble spotted pillows. Any help identifying this strange plant would be appreciated! A \
Closeup on an old dirty brown window. Near Mammoth Lakes. I\'m not sure which lake this is; there are so many! Natural CO2 emissions from a magma body beneath Mammoth Mountain asphyxiated more than 100 acres of trees near Horseshoe Lake in the early 1990s.
Remnants of a fence falling into Dinosaur Lake in Pacheco State Park, California. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. A white, orange and black koi fish in a shallow green pond.
Colorful landscape surrounds a stagnant green river near the Environmental Education Center in Alviso, California. Petrified wood in this desolate landscape has been fossilized and turned to stone. White Sands National Monument, New Mexico.
A mountain range near Mammoth Lakes, California. A log in the middle of a cracked boulder. A gnarled tree stands alone on a hillside in Pacheco State Park, California.
Colorful plants grow on the bank of the green waters of a salt marsh. A hut constructed of driftwood and seaweed on the beach. These plants on the salt marsh resemble something one might find underwater.
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. Millipede on a dead leaf. Palm trees against a gloomy overcast cloudy sky.
