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…
While driving down the Oregon Coast Highway on my way from Washington to California, I made a quick stop at Battle Rock but was only able to snap a few quick shots before the rain sent me back to the car…
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…
Taken during a short stop-over in Monterey, CA… this Black Oystercatcher certainly looked like it had plenty of choices and didn’t have to do much “catching”…
A regular at the Blue Heron Bridge, I am amazed I have not posted photos of any Scaly-tailed Mantis Shrimp (Lysiosquilla scabricauda) yet.
I shared some other photos from Kubota Gardens in Seattle, WA already… but I figured I’d share the rest of the set. Enjoy.
My visit to Mojave was on a somewhat chilly and overcast day in March of 2022, so I feel like I missed out on some of more typical features of Mojave, but this stacked horizon of shades of blue was a nice treat. Reminded me…
Hoodoos are pillars of rock formed by erosion – basically a harder type of rock is at the top and keeps the softer rock from underneath from eroding at the same rate as the surrounding rock. In the case of Bryce Canyon National Park, there…
These little Side-blotched Lizards (Uta stansburiana) get their name from the dark patch behind their front legs, but the orange around their mouths and the blue speckles are quite nice.
I found this gold mine during a hike outside of Ouray, CO. I was fascinated with how the buildings were just stuck to the side of the cliffs and used the steepness to their advantage for the sluice to clear away the waste water from…
Some still photographs of the Moab sky from 2021… these are all single exposures, including the ones with the star trails.
I spotted this Newman’s Flatworm (Maritigrella newmanae) on a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge in Florida. I was just slowly swimming along and swam right over it and had to hit the brakes to stop and get some photos and video. We found a…
Friday Fotos will not be shown this week. Instead, we interrupt your normally scheduled programming to bring you the final installment in Video Week. Today’s video is the last of my videos from diving at the Blue Heron Bridge last year and to be honest,…
