This is an odd one for me, and I’m not sure if it was Google Maps or AllTrails that I was scrolling around looking for places to check out and randomly the trail for Doc Holliday’s Grave Trail popped up. It is located in Glenwood…

On my second to last dive at the Blue Heron Bridge during my stay in Florida I noticed a fish hovering near a large conch. As I slowly approached, I noticed that it had some very nice coloration and was something I had never seen…
If you haven’t seen Part 1 of this series, go check it out for photos of the trailhead and the beginning of the hike. After climbing up to 13,207 feet, we reached the Argentine Pass. This is the location where a wagon trail actually used…
Batfish (no, I don’t know why they’re called that) are another type of anglerfish similar to frogfish. They’re both benthic (bottom-dweller) fish that have adapted some of their fins to act more like feet and walk along the bottom, but where the frogfish uses its…
On a visit to Wakodahatchee Wetlands, I saw a small crowd gathered and approached to find everyone was looking at a fairly large (maybe 6-8 foot long) gator. But what really drew the crowd was that a turtle was sitting a few feet in front…
Alright – I’m going to try mixing things up and getting a variety of photos from Colorado while also continuing to get through my extensive backlog of photos (and videos!) from Florida… heck, I still have stuff from my travels to Bali, Timor Leste, and…
Green Razorfish (Xyrichtys splendens) tend to be fairly common fish at the Blue Heron Bridge, but while they are easy to find, they are not very easy to photograph. When I noticed this one willing to let me approach it, I took advantage and got…
I am not sure on an exact species for these fish, but they’re a Post-larval Juvenile Trunkfish of some sort. They’re basically like swimming marbles and are fun to watch in the water (I’m sure they’ll make an appearance in videos at some point).
One evening I visited Winding Waters Natural Area and shortly after starting my walk, I heard a screeching sound. I could tell it was a bird but I had no idea what kind of bird. I slowly walked down the trail trying to pinpoint where…
I am pretty sure these are all Brown Grass Shrimp (Leander tenuicornis). See if you can spot which one is carrying eggs.
Finding a home must be a challenge for a hermit crab… You could end up with a much larger home than you need… Or some nosey neighbors… Or a real fixer-upper…
It seems being a adolescent Tricolored Heron is just a perpetual bad hair day…
Alright – as promised, here is the really cool thing I found during my first hike in Palmer Lake, CO. After hiking up Chautauqua Mountain, I was down in Limbaugh Canyon returning back to my AirBNB. At one point the trail runs right along a…
On Saturday I decided to do a much more substantial hike. It actually turned into a 15 mile trip that visited thee different mountain summits, two different reservoirs, and one natural monument landmark. So for today I’ll share a handful of panoramic photos from atop…
Ok – I took this photo yesterday when I was out playing some disc golf. I just couldn’t help sharing it off schedule it makes me laugh so much. Apparently they play disc golf differently here…
