Some shots from around Skull Rock in Joshua Tree NP. Another one that was hard to get a good angle that was not swarming with people…

I spotted this tiny larval critter during a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. I have no real clue what it is, but I would guess a mantis shrimp…
I photographed these Sanderlings (at least I think they are Sanderlings) when I was in Panama City, Florida earlier this year…
As the title says… nudibranchs from Florida. Enjoy!
This Harlequin Glass Slug (Cyerce cristallina) is from a dive in Lauderdal-by-the-sea back in 2022 with my friends Laura and Carl.
Today’s nudibranch I’ve labeled as “The Orange Dragon” because that is what I think of when I look at it, and tracking down its exact name is providing a bit tricky. A possible candidate is Placida barackobamai (yes, it is named after former president Barak…
It has been a while since I’ve done a “Nudibranch Week” and while this won’t be a set of daily posts, I’ll still give it that title. This will be part 1 of 4 and today we will look at some Pacific Northwest nudibranch photos…
The rest of my photos from Carlsbad Caverns… And it is a little hard to see, but look closely to see one of the most clever signs ever posted at a national park.
This pair of Barrow’s Goldeneyes was photographed back in the Grand Tetons National Park in 2023. I don’t know if this was a mating ritual or just some odd behavior I picked up in a couple of the photos.
Caught these two flounder duking it out during my last visit to the Blue Heron Bridge
A bit of an abstract one today… In some of the hot springs in Yellowstone, there are bacteria mats that can take a while to grow. I found them interesting to look at and tried to photograph them and capture some of the patterns in…
Is it possible that I have no Green Heron photos on my site? This seems strange to me because they are one of my favorite birds…. Well, let’s remedy this seemingly improbably situation.
I’ve been getting reports from my Florida friends that these Harlequin Sea Goddess nudibranchs are back in force at the Blue Heron Bridge this summer. I don’t remember which scientific name was settled on for which species is at The Bridge, but I do remember…
Digging through my archives and found a handful of duck photos from my time in Arcata and near San Francisco. I may have shared other photos of some of these and identified them at the time, but for today we’re just going to share an…
On my last visit to Mount Rainier NP, I hiked back up to Reflection Lake which was still frozen pretty solid despite the lower elevations being clear of snow by this point in the season. However, it has been rather hot here recently, so the…
