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…
I spotted this tiny little isopod during a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. The only reason I spotted it was because it moved, and I was surprised I was able to find it through the viewfinder, get good focus, and then also find it…
A handful of more photos from my visit to Paris in 2019…
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…
In my continued effort to get through my archives of material I have yet to share, I finally put together a video of some of the dives in the sea grass which I dubbed “Barry’s Meadow” after the name of the eco-resort we were staying…
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…
While driving down the Oregon Coast Highway on my way from Washington to California, I made a quick stop at Battle Rock but was only able to snap a few quick shots before the rain sent me back to the car…
Another regular sight on many of the dives in Puget Sound, the various species of Rockfish were always fun to see. I learned that some of them can live to be 95 years old! For a relatively small fish, I was quite surprised by that.
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…
Taken during a short stop-over in Monterey, CA… this Black Oystercatcher certainly looked like it had plenty of choices and didn’t have to do much “catching”…
A regular at the Blue Heron Bridge, I am amazed I have not posted photos of any Scaly-tailed Mantis Shrimp (Lysiosquilla scabricauda) yet.
I shared some other photos from Kubota Gardens in Seattle, WA already… but I figured I’d share the rest of the set. Enjoy.
