Big waves that look like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. #nature #Maui #love #Maui #photography #nokings #marinelife
Wind blown spray covering breaking waves that give the impression of running horses (to me, anyway). Photo from wide angle, high on a cliff

A busy #sunset pic. I'm taking this on Maui, and yet, the island in the distance (on the right) is also Maui. The curves of the coastline add to the beauty. #nature #beach #photography #love #nokings #beauty
Pic of sunset with orange sky and blue clouds. Close by are lava rock formations on the shore. The ocean is deep green with land in the distance.

We can tell this bear from the others by her distinctive light brown patch on her shoulder. I presume she will lose this as she ages. On the other hand, maybe she's just honoring Dolly Parton by wearing her Coat of Many Colors. #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #PNW #nokings #Dolly

There's a gecko who comes to the bathroom window each night when I turn on the light. No wonder she can scale anything... look at the grippers on her feet!!!!! #lizard #herps #Maui #adorbs #photography #nokings
Close up thru a window of the underneath of a gecko against the dark night and reflection.  Her toes are lined with rubbery stickers.

If it seems like I take a lot of pics of crashing waves, it's actually because I take a lot of pics of crashing waves. #photography #Maui #nature #nokings #marinelife #love

Single old, bare tree reaching out over the incoming waves of the ocean. The pred-dawn sky is filled with moonlight that is reflecting on the ocean. The muted sky colors are blues and pinks.

It seems to me that since hurricanes are so destructive, they should all be named after old, entitled, white men.

Wild animal playfulness rankings: 1. Bears 2. Coyotes 3. Deer 4. Elk 5. Bobcats The bears are always playing, and the coyotes, often. Deer and elk sometimes play. It is rare to see bobcats play - it happens, but they are mostly all business. #PNW #love #nokings #cats #Seattle #cat #trailcamera

For those of you that are interested, here's another pic of the Super-Elk from this morning - you can see the antlers a little better. It's from far away, so the resolution isn't great, but you can see them okay. #elk #deer #nature #love #pnw #photography #nokings #BeKind

Low-quality, but super-cool pic of a bobcat warning off a coyote (upper left) - who's giving her best "Don't even think about it" stare. Nothing wound up happening. #nature #PNW #wildanimals #love #nokings #bobcat #cat #coyote #dog #Seattle
On the dried out bed of our pond, shot from just behind a bobcat, who is staring a little way away at a coyote - who is staring right back - while it looks menacing, nothing wound up happening.
