Well… I figured this was well worth sharing quickly… Hopefully we get some more sea otter encounters, but since I’m figuring it isn’t going to be super common, this was quite a treat…
Ok – it might take me a little while to start getting a collection of photos to share from the diving in Monterey (so far only 3 dives in so far), but to get everyone started… and maybe I’ll just do a handful of these…
Well, I’m getting this video finished up just in time to keep the schedule of sharing a video the first Sunday of each month… this round is another set of timelapse highlights from travels in Washington, California, and Utah. If you’re interested, check out some…
I’m pretty sure this is a couple Greater Yellowlegs (there are also Lesser Yellowlegs, but the Merlin app says they are rare for the area I took this photo). The shallow and calm waters worked perfectly for some nice reflection shots…
Though not flashy, these Ruddy Ducks were another “new to me” species I photographed at Arcata Marshes in California. The first three are males in their winter colors (apparently their bills turn a baby blue color during breeding season) and the last one is either…

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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
