Although it is certainly not remote or exotic, the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is a pretty spot to stretch your legs while driving up the California coast.

The coasts of the pacific northwest are some of my favorite areas of the US. I love the lush green forests and the salty air of the ocean.

This is a hippo that we came across in a small pond in the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. It seemed a lot calmer than other wild hippos that we had seen, but we maintained a healthy distance and kept an eye out for others when we were close to the edge of the water. They are surprisingly aggressive and impressively large in person.

Some interesting clouds over central California. Atmospheric science is really fascinating, and it’s neat to see how clouds give a visual representation of atmospheric flow.

It’s impressive how many waterfowl there are in the arctic in the summer months. After growing up in middle latitudes and seeing waterfowl midrate north every summer, I guess it shouldn’t have been a surprise, but I really didn’t expect the quantity of birds in the northern altitudes.

I love the color of Gold Dust Day Geckos. They are native to Madagascar, but they are now very common on many Pacific Islands. They have a nice, mild personally and love to eat most types of sweet fruit and even honey. It is also interesting that they don’t have eyelids, and therefore they can’t blink. When they need to clean their eyes, you will sometimes see them licking their eyes. It’s neat how many different permutations there are in nature.
