Ok – not technically on the Argentine Pass or Peak, but on the way out we passed a sign we hadn’t seen on the way in labeled “Pennsylvania Mine” and also could see a massive structure that was falling apart on the other side of…

Well… after being excited by having found that previous Sea Spider, and thinking it was just a lucky find, I managed to not only repeat the achievement, but to do so in rather dramatic fashion. I found two different species of sea spiders on the…
This is an adult Florida Gallinule or Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) with its chick… they’re a fairly common water bird in the wetlands near West Palm Beach and I would see them quite often, but for a little while I was able to see them…
These little Tiger Gobies (Tigrigobius macrodon) are cool tiny fish, even if they are tough to photograph because of their somewhat transparent bodies and their tendency to be very skittish and dart away quickly.
During a visit to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (which is not far from the Denver airport), I was driving along the refuge’s main wildlife drive road and happened to spot a coyote out in the field… I quickly stopped the car and…
Though now all of these show the namesake blue coloration in their gills, and none of them are giving the more impressive threat display that pikeblennies are somewhat famous for, these Bluethroat Pikeblennies (Chaenopsis ocellata) appeared at the Blue Heron Bridge one day and were…
On a hike outside of Nederland, Colorado, I was on the lookout for elk or moose… the trail was going downhill and then turning to the left and back uphill with an area further down the hill that was somewhat open and looked like good…
These Curly-tailed Lizards were fairly prolific in the area I was staying in West Palm Beach / Riviera Beach in Florida. Unfortunately, they were almost always too quick to get decent photos of until I came across this one at Okeeheelee Park and it seemed…
On the suggestion from my friend Dawn (who was super helpful with suggestions during my time in Colorado), Rich and I backpacked into Rattlesnake Canyon for one night. Actually, I guess I should back up the story a little bit right there… We originally were…
As promised, some alpine flowers and plants. I was surprised to see the succulents up there, but I found them really cool.
Alright, kind of a weird post here… and I normally am not one to do this much post processing on photos – either they are good in the camera or they get deleted. I mean sure, sometimes if the subject is really good I’ll do…
Ok – technically this is not truly a nudibranch… but most people call all of these things nudis, so I’m being a bit flexible here. Anyway, I’ve recently been thinking about diving (pun intended) into my archives and sharing some photos that have not yet…
I only managed this one shot of this squid during a night dive. By the time I managed to get this shot I realized I was a bit too close and I wanted to slightly reposition my strobes… I looked down at my camera to…
Finally got around to putting together another two weeks of dive videos from the Blue Heron Bridge.
Geographic Seahare (Siphonota geographica) are related to nudibranchs, are generally a bit larger than most nudis, and they have not quite abandoned the shell of their snail ancestors but rather have kept it internally.
