Walking Path
I thought I had lost these photos from my DC trip last year. Here’s a walking path between the Pioneer Farm to the Ox Pen at Mt. Vernon.
Praying Mantis
Praying Mantis found on the Mt. Vernon estate on my trip to DC last year.
Moss Covered Boulders
Reaching into my archives from one of my runs into Yosemite last year. Wandered along the Merced River for this photo. I really liked the mossy boulders.
Etiwan Fertilizer
I took this photo last year while visiting Old Town Alexandria. It is now the home of the Christmas Attic but used to be an old tobacco warehouse.
Anyone Home?
Wandering around the tide pool, I saw this calcified seashell. It looked like a black turban snail had taken up residence but I don’t think anyone was home when I inspected it closer.
Goose Barnacles
Pollicipes polymerus is found in the north eastern Pacific Ocean, its range extending from southern Alaska to Baja California. It occurs on rocky coasts in the intertidal zone and favors exposed areas where there is much wave action. It tends to occur in closely associated groups and is often abundant.
Dinner is Served
Great Heron with dinner. I lucked out on this shot. The Heron was wadding through the tide pool and suddenly lunged (I thought it tripped) and in its beak – dinner.
Great Heron
One afternoon last week, I spent the afternoon at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve (just outside of Half Moon Bay, CA). This Great Heron was standing in the tide pool searching/hunting for dinner.
Fall in Calaveras
Morning hike on the Arnold Rim Trail. We started kind of early so when we approached this tree on the trail it was shady. On the way back to the car, the morning sun lit up the old oak tree and its fall color.
Veteran’s Day
On this day we remember all those that have served in our armed forces to protect our freedom.
