These are shots I took in late spring of '05. Me and my dad wanted to see the wildflowers in full bloom but were about 2 weeks too late.

Me and my friend Jon took a road trip around the southwest and hit three National Parks. I have always wanted to see the arches in person in Arches National Park. They are absolutely stunning! This gallery will contain sub-pages with different parts of this beautiful national park.

These are shots of the birds living in the newly restored Bolsa Chica wetlands in southern California. I believe the white ones with the short neck are Snowy Egrets and the white ones with the long neck are Great Egrets, but not 100% sure.

Created slowly over the millennia, Carlsbad Caverns' formations have been considered by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Each movement of the earth, each drop of water, each puff of acidic air has left its mark on the caverns' formation. It began about 250 million years ago with the creation of a long reef in an inland sea. The sea eventually evaporated and left the reef buried under deposits of gypsum and salts.
Then, 20 to 30 million years ago, the Guadalupe Mountains were uplifted, fracturing the ancient reef. Groundwater seeping into these cracks combined with hydrogen sulfide gas from the oil and gas deposits below, creating sulfuric acid. This very strong acid carved out the large rooms and passageways that exist today.
Finally, about 500,000 years ago, after groundwater levels had dropped, the slow process of speleothem— stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone—formation began with a single drop of water. Drop by drop, and millions of years later we have what we see today!

From April 7th to April 15th I was away on a paleoecological field study. Me and a group of lucky students were given this wonderful opportunity. I was working side by side with the top dog within the USGS, United States Geological Survey. We were digging and collecting packrat middens that date back to about 40,000 years. Within these middens lie perfectly preserved vegetation, insect parts and bones. These natural time capsules help us reconstruct past vegetation and with that...climate! It was an absolutely fascinating and rewarding experience that I not only learned from, but was paid to do! Eight days without a shower never hurt anyone...;)
Whenever I got a chance I'd break out my camera but... not many photos for how much time I spent out there. It was the first time photography came secondary for me.

The Madrona Marsh or Madrona Marsh Preserve, located in Torrance, California, is the last vernal marsh remaining in the South Bay area of Los Angeles and one of few wetlands located within an urban landscape.
Formed eons ago when the mountains of the Palos Verdes Peninsula rose to the south, Madrona Marsh is a shallow depression fed by wet season (Spring) storms as the name "vernal" indicates. After the rainy season, evaporation, percolation and transpiration reduce the water depth by about one-quarter of an inch (6 mm) per day. By the end of August, the wetland is dry and remains so until the following rainy season. Situated on land that was set aside for oil production in 1924, Madrona Marsh was never developed—unlike the surrounding city—and remains a valuable natural habitat for birds, reptiles, insects and even small mammals.
(Wikipedia description)
These shots were taken on 11-9-06, during the dry season.
