    Snoozing Coyote

    There are some moments that you know will stick with you for quite a while. I was having a quiet evening, watching the fog roll in on the bay. A Coyote walked up and curled up for its evening snooze, just barely 100 ft away from me. The Coyote slept through the sunset, waking up

    Rock Wren on a Rock

    The Mojave Desert: it was love at first sight when I visited Joshua Tree National Park just over a year ago. I’ve been planning a return ever since, and in November I finally headed back, camping in Mojave National Preserve for a few days. The trip ended up being more exciting than I’d planned. Nothing

    Any Bird in a Storm

    One of those moments that make you say “just give me any bird!” This gull was kind enough to oblige with a flyby (as a failed birder, I can’t be sure of the species but I think it’s a juvenile Western Gull).

  • Foggy Day at the Seashore

    Foggy Day at the Seashore

    I went to the beach to photograph Northern Elephant Seals. It was a foggy day in between two storms. Another photographer I ran into called the conditions “hopeless”.
