i went on a field trip for one of my advisor's classes to eastern california. we pretty much drove the entire length of the state. i took a ton of pictures and here are my favorites.

sunset on our way out of houston


tiny purple flowers


anyone know what this plant is?


looking through my handlens


another cool flower


low clouds over the hills


a lone yellow flower in a sea of purple


me on top of a vesicular basalt flow in the mojave desert


a bug camouflaged itself inside a flower


purple daisies in front of a basalt outcrop


grasses, flowers, and rocks with a volcano in the background


volcanoes in the distance


tiny white and purple flowers


light streaming in from skylights in a lava tube








flowers, joshua trees, and a volcano


cin-ty and a funny-shaped rock


volcanoes and clouds


me and the joshua trees


cin-ty and me


looking up at a joshua tree


joshua tree spines


cooking by flashlight


the glow from a nearby town lights up the sky behind my tent


kyle doing sunrise yoga


mountains and desert


marble


cin-ty's hammer: steal this & i kill you


having fun in/on the van while waiting in the desert


aladdin clouds at sunset!


star trails, lights in the tents, and light painting with flashlights to light up the trees


it's cold near the snow-capped sierra nevadas in the morning!


checking out granodiorite brought down off the mountains by glaciers


a small plane flew overhead


happy face rock!


me and a small pine tree in the snow


a frozen lake!


convict lake, a glacial lake










group picture at mono lake next to carbonate formations


the newly-formed band


ta-da!


mono lake


owen's valley




fossil falls










giant snail outside the hotel!






happy to be going home
