Album Up Close and Personal -- Photos Focused on the Details

Late season huckleberries and some kind of fungus I can't ID...

A nail stuck in a tree 2 hours deep in the woods.... Always makes me wonder who and why when I'm in the middle of nowhere and stumble across stuff like this.

A giant alien moth looming behind that tree?

Nope. Just a Limenitis arthemis astyanax. It was hanging out on the mini tree like foliage -- maybe due to the roughed up right wing tip? He/She maneuvered around before I could get a butterfly-in-focus shot whilst behind the "tree."

I guess this was pretty close up and also personal
Picked up a nice Praying Mantis and let her sit on my hand

sometimes Pele shows you her heart
This was a lucky moment that lastest only a few seconds. But it's one of my thousands of lava shots I really love a lot

I often miss my old adventurous life where stuff like this could happen at any time

Several Yellowstone Close-Ups.

This bleached root segment caught my eye done in by spring runoff.

The hot spring runoff channels are always a full palette of colors, shapes, and textures.

I have an odd fascination with Mud Pots. I could sit and watch them bubble up all day. The other people that shared my fascination when I visited were all likely under the age of 10.

Butterflies must be on my radar as of late. . .

Patterns in the sand on Rialto Beach, Olympic National Park. I really like this as my phone wallpaper.
