Samara spotted this pair of Green-backed Trogons or sometimes also called Amazonian White-tailed Trogons (Trogon viridis) on the property at our first Airbnb. We watched them for a bit and noticed that they appeared to be building a nest (I looked it up and they…
It was exactly a year ago today that I took these videos of these very young Bighorn Sheep – or as I like to call them, Little Bighorns. If you look closely, some of them still have their umbilical cord attached.
Found this cool Seahare on a recent dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. I believe it is an Atlantic Black Seahare (Aplysia morio).
Manta Rays are super huge and super cool…
This wasn’t the first time I had seen Spinner Dolphins (I saw them while in Timor Leste), but this was my first time seeing dolphins in the water while on a dive. We had seen the dolphins swimming around the bay when we first arrived…
The first cenote we dived was called Angelita (Little Angel), and I’m sure it gets its name from the way you might feel like you’re an angel flying above the clouds. Honestly, it also felt like diving through a spooky cemetery in a dream. At…
Just a minute of drifting along watching the sunrays filter down through the water while a large school of tube-snouts swim above the eel grass. Enjoy.
Well, it was about a month ago that the big annular eclipse happened, and I was near Salt Lake City and figured I would try and get some photos. Where I was in Utah was in the path to get about 87% coverage of the…
Ok – sorry for the prolonged absence, and I can’t make any promises that I’ll be back to a regular posting schedule with this one, but hopefully it sparks a bit more motivation for me. Anyway, today I went for a dive and had we…
I decided to take a trip back to Wolf Rocks to see if I could find some more rattlesnakes and was not disappointed. I was surprised to realize it has been over 3 years since I first photographed the rattlesnakes there. This time I managed…
I’ll apologize now, but today’s photos and video are really just for the stories, but bear with me (pun 100% intended!). These are the first wild grizzly bears I ever got to see and photograph (though that’s kind of a technicality). This is one of…
When I first arrived in Montana, the Flathead River – specifically the Middle Fork of the Flathead River was running a beautiful green color and looked pretty clear and not too high. By the time I left, it was running very muddy, high, and fast…
Since I was visiting Yellowstone at the very front edge of spring, I thought maybe I’d get some photos of bison in the snow. I did get a couple shots, but nothing fantastic (and technically some of these are from outside the park, but close…
Since I shared more Stubby Squids, let’s look at some more Pacific Red Octos (Octopus rubescens), including a quick video taken by Randy Williams from Washington Scuba Alliance after our trash cleanup dive (I’m the one holding the octo). It was a good thing I…
While we’re on the subject of stops along the drives to/from Monterey, Here’s a quick little video of a spot I found when I drove through Brookings, Oregon last year as I headed south. When I stopped last year, it was raining much harder and…
