There’s just something about these couple fleeting shots I managed of this White-crowned Sparrow in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area outside of St. George, UT…

I recently watched this video about seahorses on Youtube, so it reminded me I have a handful of seahorse close-ups to share… enjoy.
My friend, Nick, likes to invent games and organize sporting events. A recent creation was to devise a way to be able to play Ultimate Frisbee after dark (since we’re into autumn here and the evenings are getting darker earlier and earlier every day). Since…
Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are native to Florida and other southeast states. I only found a few of them when I was wandering around, but I was always surprised at how quick they were at retreating into hiding once they spotted me.
Ok – not to disparage the Striated Frogfish (Antennarius striatus) which is the one I found most commonly while diving at the Blue Heron Bridge, here is an assortment of photos of them…

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…
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…
