I can’t explain why these guys wanted to hang out together, but they were inseparable the whole time I snorkeled with them. I like to think they were just friends, but maybe it was a camouflage technique. I’ve been holding onto this image for awhile as there was a lot of nasty backscatter in the original. Now I’m benefitting from a friend’s new knowledge, and used some new to me techniques to really clean this image up so I could post it!
It is raining off in the distance, but it is too late to save this dead tree. I loved the contrast of green plants, the old tree, and the clouds in the sky at this spot.
This building stands above the rest of downtown Mountain View. It wasn’t always a nice place to be. After it was built, it was not occupied for many years, and got the name Dog City due to the fact they let dogs live on the first floor to scare away squatters!
An old tree stands watch over the fog and ticky tacky houses of San Francisco.
Most animals don’t want to get involved with a man with a knife, but this bird thought it was a rare opportunity for the best view around!
Taking a road trip now is easy. You just drive and stop a lot to take pictures. I’m pretty sure riding in this wagon came with a different set of priorities.
Most of these buds have yet to open, but one was ready for prime time!
I expected to see lots of awesome scenery in Point Lobos, but I did not expect to see crabs hiding in the rocks. Once you saw one, they seemed to be everywhere on the rocks along the shore.
New York is fantastic in the spring. I was lucky enough to be there when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom on Roosevelt Island, offering a colorful border to the Manhattan skyline.
After living in California for many years, I finally understand why Point Lobos is considered the crown jewel of the California State Parks system. The entire coastline is impressive, both for the endless rocky shores and the intricate flora that seem to be able to grow anywhere.
