A cinematic exploration of serene wetlands and diverse coastal ecosystems. This collection captures the quiet beauty of nature across different moments of the day and night—from the golden mists of sunrise illuminating wooden boardwalks and the smooth pebble shores at dusk, to the dramatic twilight skies towering over dense reeds. The gallery features intimate wildlife encounters, including a resting heron, a dew-drenched dragonfly in stunning macro detail, and a perfectly mirrored flock of flamingos gliding through calm waters. It explores dynamic perspectives, showcasing vibrant aerial views of coastal salt pans, a classic observer's view from inside a wooden bird hide, and a mesmerizing nocturnal landscape under the Milky Way. An homage to biodiversity, atmospheric light, and the pristine quiet of the natural world.

This image shows the northern edge of the San Gabriel Mountains, high above the San Andreas Rift Zone and within sight of the Antelope Valley at the western edge of the Mojave Desert, 3,000 feet below. This is near the small desert community of Valyermo . There are two distinct ecosystems in view the desert with its scrub vegetation, joshua trees and cacti and desert fauna and the pine covered mountains, with lakes and streams.

African lions — Panthera leo
Family: Felidae
Confidence: very high
The photograph shows two adult male African lions feeding on a large ungulate carcass in dry Tanzanian savanna. Both have developed manes, although neither has the very heavy dark mane seen in some older males.
The prey animal is partly obscured and dismembered, so I would not identify it to species with confidence from this image alone. In northern Tanzania, common lion prey includes wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, gazelles, hartebeest and other ungulates. Serengeti studies show that a relatively small group of large herbivore species supplies most of the lions' diet.
What is happening
The lions are lying on either side of the carcass and feeding. This is normal lion behavior. Males may participate in kills, particularly of large or dangerous prey, but they also commonly appropriate access to kills made by females. Male lions can be especially assertive around food and frequently obtain priority access at a carcass.
The two males may be members of a male coalition. Adult males commonly form coalitions, often—but not always—with brothers, and coalition partners cooperate in controlling territory and gaining access to prides. A pair of adult males feeding together is therefore quite typical of lion social organization.
Lions are both hunters and scavengers. They may kill their own prey or take advantage of carcasses located through other predators or scavengers.
Habitat
The landscape is characteristic of East African dry savanna: tawny grass, scattered shrubs and isolated trees, with very open visibility. The distant line of ungulates reinforces the impression of a large grazing ecosystem such as the Serengeti or a related northern Tanzanian grassland.
The photograph also illustrates an ecological relationship central to the Serengeti: large concentrations of grazing ungulates support large predators, while carcasses subsequently provide food for hyenas, jackals, vultures and other scavengers.
National Geographic has documented male Serengeti lions feeding on large antelope carcasses for several days while vultures waited nearby.
Visual description
The image works on several spatial levels:
Foreground: two feeding male lions and the partially consumed carcass.
Middle distance: dry grass and scrub provide strong camouflage for the lions.
Background: a long band of grazing animals crosses the landscape.
Horizon: scattered trees and open sky establish the scale of the Tanzanian savanna.
Because the lions' tawny coats closely match the dry vegetation, they are surprisingly inconspicuous despite being near the center of the frame. The exposed red tissue of the carcass becomes the strongest contrasting visual element and immediately communicates that this is an active feeding scene rather than resting lions.
The San Pedro riparian area, containing about 40 miles of the upper San Pedro River, was designated by Congress as a National Conservation Area on November 18, 1988. The primary purpose for the designation is to protect and enhance the desert riparian ecosystem, a rare remnant of what was once an extensive network of similar riparian systems throughout the Southwest.
Many recreational opportunities are available within the NCA. Murray Springs Clovis Site, a significant archaeological site contains an undisturbed stratigraphic record of the past 40,000 years. Excavations were conducted by the University of Arizona from 1966 to 1971. People first arrived in this area 11,000 years ago. They belonged to what we now call the Clovis Culture and were the earliest known people to have inhabited North America. Named after the distinctive and beautifully crafted Clovis spear points they made, they were expert hunters of the large mammals of the last Ice Age. An interpretive trail leads visitors through the site. From Sierra Vista, take State Highway 90 east 6 miles to Monson Road. Turn left, and go about 1.2 miles to the signed turnoff to Murray Springs. The access road is located on the right.
The Spanish Presidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate is the most intact remaining example of a once-extensive network of similar presidios. These fortresses marked the northern extension of New Spain into the New World. Only a stone foundation and a few remaining adobe wall remnants mark the location of an isolated and dangerous military station. From Fairbank on Highway 82, drive approximately 2 miles west on Highway 82, turn right on the Kellar Ranch Road and travel approximately 3 miles to the trailhead. Hike about 2 miles to the ruins and interpretive displays.
The San Pedro House, located 9 miles east of Sierra Vista on State Highway 90, is a popular trailhead for birdwatchers, hikers, and mountain bikers. The Friends of San Pedro operate a bookstore and information center.

Established in 1934, to protect a fragile ecosystem of the vanishing Everglades.
U.S. National Park in Florida, that protect a 20% of the original southern Everglades. In the United States, it is the largest tropical wilderness, the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi River, and is visited on average by one million people each year. It is the third-largest national park in the lower 48 states after Death Valley and Yellowstone. It has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, one of only three locations in the world to appear on all three lists. is home to 36 threatened or protected species including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, and supports 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles.
A tiny ecosystem surrounding three golden volcanos. I made this polymer clay tile for the 10 x 10 covering the world group. I started with a thick slab of light aqua clay. I punched three holes in it and draped it over frosting tips gently pressing the clay down around the cones to creates raised rims or "volcanos". Textures were made by hand instruments and colored with Mica Powder and Pan Pastels.
Doñana's National park (Spain), Dunes ecosystem,
Doñana's National Park includes five different ecosystems: Beaches, Dunes, Border, Marsh and Forest. The system of mobile dunes of Doñana, unique in Spain, is one of the most beautiful landscapes of the park. The dunes, extremely interesting both from an ecological and a cultural viewpoint, are formed by accumulations of sand whose front of progress has a steeper slope than the part of displacement called tail. The progress of the dunes from the beach buries and destroys the vegetation that finds on its way, forming between two dunes the “corrales”, copses of stone pines and bushes.

[ESP] El Parque Nacional de Doñana incluye cinco ecosistemas distintos: Playas, Dunas, Vera, Marisma y Bosque. El sistema de Dunas móviles de Doñana, único en España, es uno de los paisajes más bellos del parque. Sumamente interesante, tanto ecológica como culturalmente, las dunas se forman por acumulaciones de arena cuyo frente de avance tiene una pendiente más acusada que la parte de desplazamiento denominada cola. El avance de las dunas desde la playa entierra y destruye la vegetación que encuentra a su paso, formándose entre dos dunas los "corrales", bosquetes de pino piñonero y matorral.

"The Maasai Mara lies in the Great Rift Valley, which is a fault line some 3,500 miles (5,600km) long stretching from Ethiopia’s Red Sea through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and into Mozambique. Here the valley is wide, and a towering escarpment can be seen in the hazy distance.
The animals are at liberty to move outside the park into huge areas known as ‘dispersal areas’. There can be as much wildlife roaming outside the park as inside. Many Maasai villages are located in the ‘dispersal areas’ and they have, over centuries, developed a synergetic relationship with the wildlife." (Source: Basecampexplorer.com)
The lush savannah grasslands dotted with acacia trees greet you on the way to your camp. We stayed in the 50,000-acre Mara Naboisho Conservancy within the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
Note: You will only see one Impala stag responsible for the breeding rights to this herd of females
While walking in the Farnham Estate in Cavan I came across this ecosystem in a tree! It reminded me of the giant Kauri tree known as Tane Mahuta in the forest of Waipoua in New Zealand! This may not be quite as big but the range of plants living on it are almost as spectacular!
Notes
Although a few mushrooms with stems grow on tree bark, most do not. Bark mushrooms typically grow in the form of conk, also called a bract or Polypores are a group of fungi that form fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside (see Delimitation for exceptions).
They are a morphological group of basidiomycetes like gilled mushrooms and hydnoid fungi, and not all polypores are closely related to each other. Polypores are also called bracket fungi, and their woody fruiting bodies are called conks.
Polypores are used in traditional medicine, and they are actively studied for their medicinal value and various industrial applications.

This fern was growing in the moss on the giant beech I posted last week. It's amazing how these big trees can be a harbour for so many plants, animals and insects!
Prides are family units that may comprise anywhere from two to 40 lions—including up to to three or four males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age.
