Tern Attack

Tern, dive bombs

No Hides

Immigration

After the hassle of U.S. immigration, it's nice to know there
are places where immigration is a piece of cake. By the way, there
is no yellow line.

A Tobacco Store in Los Angeles
A Tobacco Store 'closed' sign in Bellflower, California.

The best thing about this car was the tree in place of an antenna.
A bumpersticker at the parking lot, Hoh Rainforest, Olympic Peninsula, Washington

The farm was abandoned.
Somewhere on the California-Oregon border, Highway 395.

So different, and so yet the same.
Las Vegas is the capital of trashy strip malls. But this is my favorite.

Americans let this happen.
There is both texture and humor in the modern American landscape, you just
have to look for it. Reno-Carson area.

Juicy
More from the Reno-Carson area

New Orleans

A t-shirt sold in New Orleans months after the hurricane.

Port Sulphur

This is the most intact home we found at Port Sulphur, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina.
It landed on top of a car.

Funny

I was the only guest at a hotel that was so empty, even the hotel management
left town and left the hotel keys for me in the room.

Whale Census

The Palos Verdes Whale Census watches and counts whales for six months of the year,
sunrise to sunset.

Scary Van

I shot this van after walking in the woods at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
Something about an orange van in the woods creeps me out.

Scorpion and Katydid

On Nicaragua's Pacific coast, insects - some gigantic - come out in droves after
the sun goes down. I have an insane fear of bugs. But when Jane and I
found this scorpion eating a katydid, we were enthralled with it and spent minutes
photographing it.

Hung Far Low

This sign in Southeast Portland reminds me of the website Engrish.com
