A photo of a ladybug (no spots) on a narrow leaf milkweed plant just after it grabbed an aphid and was holding it in its jaws.

Side by side photos of me. On the left I'm standing on the summit of Mt Whitney at 14,505 feet on October of 2022. On the right is me in Death Valley at 282 feet below sea level in March of 2025.

Well I did it. I’ve been to the highest point (October 2022) in the lower 48 states and the lowest (March 2025). #mtwhitney #14505 #badwaterbasin #-282 #deathvalley

The ice on New Germany Lake formed some interesting patterns. Very angular and surprisingly geometric.

A photo of a red sun setting below the clouds but just above the ocean from the Oceanside pier. Palm trees are silhouetted in the foreground.

A clear night sky taken in astrophotography mode. Thousands of stars around a bright Jupiter. There is a faint streak to the left of Jupiter which is the only Geminid meteor I caught in an image.

A photo of the milkyway from 12000 feet at Trail Camp on the Mt Whitney Trail.

A year ago I was at 12,000′ falling asleep under this sky. #trailcamp #mtwhitney #milkyway #space

Sometimes I get to do work in some really beautiful places.

A vista of the snowy Rocky Mountains behind rolling, snow covered peaks. The hills in the midground are dabbled with pine and aspen trees. In the foreground are two skiers heading down the slopes.
