I shared a photo of the first Opossum Shrimp I was shown by Eric a few weeks ago – before that I didn’t even know such a thing existed. Fast forward a few weeks, and I’m diving at Monastery Beach in Carmel just south of…

A couple of our dive days had been blown out due to high winds and forecasted high surf (they called for 20 foot waves, but we didn’t find anything that looked over 10 foot), but Big Sur is photogenic in pretty much all conditions it…
Today we’ll take a quick look at a few of the snails I’ve been finding around Monterey…
An assortment of the kind of stuff we’re seeing underwater around Monterey… Strawberry Anemones Giant Kelpfish Assorted Crabs
Well… I figured this was well worth sharing quickly… Hopefully we get some more sea otter encounters, but since I’m figuring it isn’t going to be super common, this was quite a treat…

Well, I’m getting this video finished up just in time to keep the schedule of sharing a video the first Sunday of each month… this round is another set of timelapse highlights from travels in Washington, California, and Utah. If you’re interested, check out some…
I’m pretty sure this is a couple Greater Yellowlegs (there are also Lesser Yellowlegs, but the Merlin app says they are rare for the area I took this photo). The shallow and calm waters worked perfectly for some nice reflection shots…
Though not flashy, these Ruddy Ducks were another “new to me” species I photographed at Arcata Marshes in California. The first three are males in their winter colors (apparently their bills turn a baby blue color during breeding season) and the last one is either…
I was not expecting to find lizards in Muir Woods, but indeed there were plenty of them to be found…
Spotted on the beaches near Trinidad, CA and again in Bothin Marsh Preserve in Mill Valley, CA here are a couple photos of the aptly named Long-billed Curlew.
I wish I had been better able to capture JTree at night – I made a couple attempts but felt I was not up to the challenge…
