During a hike in Grand Mesa, I came across a couple of these strange areas of rocks. They looked like they had at one point been little ponds, but they were quite dry now… but the weird thing was that it didn’t look like the…

Ok – I did have another post scheduled for today, but it got bumped to tomorrow because this is just too cool to let sit. During tonight’s dive, as we were gearing up, some other divers came out of the water and reported that there…
During my time in Florida, I would often see Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula), but it was usually as they would fly away. They seemed a thousand times more skittish than any other birds I was seeing in Florida, which was unfortunate because they really are…
I’m not going to waste a ton of time typing words for the Colorado National Monument photos. I’m not even going to look up the names of some of these various rock formations. I’m just going to share these photos and know that they don’t…
During our rain delay of our desert hike in Rattlesnake Canyon, Rich and I popped over to Grand Mesa for about a day and a half. During that time, we went out for a couple hikes, and I had asked a Forest Ranger if there…
My last few days in Colorado, which season I was in seemed to depend on the elevation… Just a slight difference of only a couple hundred feet made the difference between beautiful autumn among the aspens or the first snowfalls on the mountains.
A very colorful Lantern Bass (Serranus baldwini) that let me get rather close for a very nice headshot…
I made two visits to Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (RMANWR from now on), both when I was picking Rich up from the airport and again after dropping him off because it is basically right next to the airport. The refuge basically consists of…
I converted a couple shots of the river otter I saw at Riverbend Park into black & white… the results are almost perfect in my opinion.
Rich and I had intentionally started this hike somewhat later in the day to avoid some of the worst of the heat (that didn’t work), and we calculated that we would have plenty of time to take a leisurely pace and have no problems (that…
For two of the shark dives with Salty Divers, we used a wreck as a landing spot to be able to more safely observe the sharks. As we approached, I snapped this quick shot of two other divers and the wreck.
Just some close-ups of some of the various autumn colors during a visit to a small Japanese garden near Seattle…
These Brown Basilisk (Basiliscus vittatus) lizards were fairly common in Florida but they were pretty skittish and hard to get decent photos of them. They also have a funny way of running as they will stand up on their hind legs and run on two…
