Photos of birds, fish, flowers and miscellaneous things that catch my eye and instill a sense of wonder.

Osprey, No Not the Bird, the Tilt Rotor!
Osprey flying outside of Point Loma. I've wanted to take a picture of one of these ever since I saw them in Halo (good job military PR). Really cool if a bit expensive... For those of you not familiar with tilt rotors, these little beauties take off like a helicopter and then tilt the rotors down into a lateral alignment to fly like an airplane, allowing them to land and take off in tight spots but extends their range and flight speed.
