I’ve seen a few Sandhill Cranes around recently and it reminded me I should share some of the older photos I have of them. These photos are a mix from Hebgen Lake in Montana, and both Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks in Wyoming. And…
One of the geothermal features in Yellowstone (yes, I know I still have yet to share any geyser images), the Mammoth Hot Springs and Terraces area is certainly like being in another world. It is difficult to capture any photos that really encompass the feeling…
On a recent dive, my buddy Laura spotted one of these Yellow-ringed Janolus (Janolus flavoanulatus) nudibranchs, and that seemed to open the flood gates and we started seeing a bunch of them. At one point I found a small area that had four of them…
As I was planning my trip across the southern USA, I noticed a moderately large green spot on the map between Tucson, AZ (where I was visiting Saguaro NP) and El Paso, TX (where I planned to spend a night before visiting Guadalupe Mountains NP…
Found this cool Seahare on a recent dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. I believe it is an Atlantic Black Seahare (Aplysia morio).
This Palm Warbler was nice and cooperative to let me get some good close shots…
Something I was not expecting to see while in Saguaro National Park was raptors. I mean it makes sense once you’re there and see how much wildlife – especially birds – is actually in the park. It is still desert, but it was significantly more…
Somehow I have not yet posted any photos from my stop in Badlands NP? To be honest, my time there was a bit less than I had hoped it would be. After adjusting my time in Yellowstone and hitting Grand Tetons a bit earlier, I…
On my way to Yellowstone NP, I stopped in a small area north of Hebgen Lake – my car’s GPS really wanted me to take a different route, but I decided that this road looked more promising and I was not disappointed. I actually returned…
Sorry – I am being extremely lazy about processing new photos, so you’ll have to make do with some more from the archives. Today we’ll look at some shots of some Yellow-bellied Marmots (Marmota flaviventris) taken on a hike at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton…
And while we’re bouncing back in time, let’s just bounce all the way back to 2020 and share the last few nudibranch photos from my time in Bali. I really need to plan a time to get back there, but with work denying working from…
Bouncing back to the chilly PNW waters to check out a Marbled Snailfish (Leparis dennyi) from one of my last dives there this season….
Ok – I don’t know how quickly I will get more Death Valley photos posted, but I figured I’d put out a teaser for now. I literally have thousands of photos to process because I’ve been doing a lot of time lapse photography, and I…
It isn’t often that birds swim *towards* you, but this Common Murre decided to swim over and take a closer look at my GoPro…
