As promised, some alpine flowers and plants. I was surprised to see the succulents up there, but I found them really cool.

Alright, kind of a weird post here… and I normally am not one to do this much post processing on photos – either they are good in the camera or they get deleted. I mean sure, sometimes if the subject is really good I’ll do…
Ok – technically this is not truly a nudibranch… but most people call all of these things nudis, so I’m being a bit flexible here. Anyway, I’ve recently been thinking about diving (pun intended) into my archives and sharing some photos that have not yet…
An earlier stop on my drive to Colorado was a night in the Okeefenokee Swamp in Steven C. Foster State Park in southern Georgia. It is listed as a great place to view the stars because of its remoteness and lack of light pollution –…
I only managed this one shot of this squid during a night dive. By the time I managed to get this shot I realized I was a bit too close and I wanted to slightly reposition my strobes… I looked down at my camera to…
Finally got around to putting together another two weeks of dive videos from the Blue Heron Bridge.
During my drive from Florida to Colorado, I passed through St. Louis and figured I might as well stop at the Gateway Arch. Thankfully it wasn’t crowded and I took a handful of photos, though oddly enough the one I like best was a quick…
Geographic Seahare (Siphonota geographica) are related to nudibranchs, are generally a bit larger than most nudis, and they have not quite abandoned the shell of their snail ancestors but rather have kept it internally.
I honestly didn’t do very good at taking advantage of photographing sunrises very much. I often would try to get to places close to sunrise both to avoid the hottest part of the day and to catch the morning shift of wildlife, but rarely was…
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…
