From back in 2019 during my visit to Madagascar…

Spotted on the beaches near Trinidad, CA and again in Bothin Marsh Preserve in Mill Valley, CA here are a couple photos of the aptly named Long-billed Curlew.
A variety of reptiles and amphibians from various hikes around PA…
An unexpected feature of Bryce Canyon National Park when I visited was the boldness of the crows. I know crows are a somewhat common bird, so it would seem photographing them wouldn’t be a challenge, but my encounters with them tended to be with ones…
From the archives, these are from my trip to Timor Leste in 2019… Dwarf Spinner Dolphins, Shortfin Pilot Whales, and Pygmy Blue Whales.
I wish I had been better able to capture JTree at night – I made a couple attempts but felt I was not up to the challenge…
I spotted this tiny little isopod during a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. The only reason I spotted it was because it moved, and I was surprised I was able to find it through the viewfinder, get good focus, and then also find it…
Just because who couldn’t use an octet of octos now and then? From Washington, Florida, and Bali…
Ok – so sea otters groom their fur a lot… and with good reason. That fur is what keeps them warm in some pretty chilly water. But, if you watch them long enough and take enough photos at just the right times, it makes for…
In my continued effort to get through my archives of material I have yet to share, I finally put together a video of some of the dives in the sea grass which I dubbed “Barry’s Meadow” after the name of the eco-resort we were staying…
Ok – let’s get something out of the way first here… Muir Woods is a smallish “national monument” (I’m still not sure what differentiates a national park versus a national monument versus a national reserve versus any of the other designations I’ve run into) just…
Another regular sight on many of the dives in Puget Sound, the various species of Rockfish were always fun to see. I learned that some of them can live to be 95 years old! For a relatively small fish, I was quite surprised by that.
Alright – it might have been a bit remiss of me to not share photos of Joshua Trees earlier in my posts from Joshua Tree National Park… but better late than never, eh?
I’ve shared some elk photos from Rocky Mountain National Park… this herd of elk near Redwoods National Park (not technically inside the park boundary, but close enough) was pretty large, but the bull elk didn’t have the same impressive antlers, but still beautiful animals. Oh…
