I took this image while flying with my friend Matt a number of years ago. Well, he was flying the plane; I was hanging out the window taking pictures. This photograph is of the Cottonball Marsh in Death Valley. It’s well below sea level (about -200 ft) and the surface of a dry lake bed is covered in borax salt. From the air, it looks like someone spilled milk on the landscape.
We ran across this hungry black bear in the Yukon. It was in the middle of nowhere, but it didn’t seem to mind us at all. It was just happily eating a bunch of dandelions in the sun. It was quite a mellow animal compared to the large aggressive grizzlies that we also came across in the Yukon.
It’s impressive how well camouflaged the little tidepool Sculpin are along the Pacific coast. They can be super hard to spot in small tidepools, but when you zoom in on them, it’s interesting to note that they are often covered in bright yellow lines and blue dots. They sure blend in well. This one it only about an inch long.
Bosque Del Apache is a pretty special place. So full of life.
I appreciate leaves. There are so many different shapes and sizes.
I like all the variety of corals. Some are soft; some are hard. Some are smooth; some are sharp. Some are covered in grooves; some are big flat plates. I took these images in a relatively small area in the Great Barrier Reef. It’s pretty amazing how many variations there can be even in a small area.
I wish I could go to the moon someday. It would be interesting to see such a sterile landscape in person.
We camped at this spot for a few days near Portage, Alaska. It’s a really pretty area with a lot of wildlife. When traveling, it’s nice to slow down sometimes and get to know a place a little.
