Racetrack Grandstand Mirage

If you don't like your car too much, take a drive down to the Racetrack in Death Valley National Park. It's a dry lakebed that sometimes has mysterious rocks roving the playa.

Out in the middle(ish) is a rock outcropp

White Ibis Giving Me A Stare-down

Here in LA we don't have a lot of ibises so I enjoy them when travels, birding or work or vacation, take me to where they live. In this case, the Everglades of Florida.

Through The Open Tunnel

Way out at Dry Tortugas National Park, a set of keys 70 miles from Key West, there is a fort that never saw battle. Sometimes it was a prison and now it is a National Park. Bricks were brought from the ma

Tracking Through The Sands

Around the US West there are seemingly random pockets of sand dunes. This set is close to the Nevada/California border and are a favorite for the ATV crowd. Calle the Big Dunes, they are maybe 300' all and on BLM land.

Weird Shapes In The Alabama Hills

A quick note that if you decide to fly a drone in the Alabama Hills, you need to get a permit from the Bureau of Land Management in Bishop. The good news is they are nice people.

And it's the only way you

A Second After The Mergansers Dove Down

It's not always about getting the birds in frame. Sometime, like this time, I was more captured with the abstract reflections on the lake but decided to keep in the trails the birds left

Alabama Hills And The Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains

It turns out you need a permit to fly a drone in the Alabama Hills so I went through the process last year. The permit is only good for a year s

The Pestering Parasitic Jaeger

Here's a great example of a Parasitic Jaeger living up to its name. It was pestering the tern on the left until the tern dropped its fish in order to get away.

In the very next frame, you can see the fish being caught and subsequ

Surreal LAX And Downtown Los Angeles

I was out on a pelagic birding trip today, where you hop on a boat and look for birds that don't usually come ashore, when I took this surreal, or maybe impressionistic? photo.

It's my second time spotting
