Another shot from the narrows, which was my favorite part of my trip to Zion last winter. This was a really breathtaking hike and to think we almost skipped it! This image is from a ways into the canyon. As the walls close in on you, the light level goes down but if you're there at the right time of day, you can see the glow of the afternoon sun illuminating the canyon walls in front of you for some truly otherworldly light. If you look reaaaaally close you might be able to make out some teeny tiny people.
My last image from here was way too colorful, I'll probably redo it sometime.
Hope you like it!
The Burrowing Owl
Couldn’t entice this little guy to come out of his burrow and pose for a portrait, so I settled for a head shot…Life is Good !!!
Burrowing Owls are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents. Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.
Before laying eggs, Burrowing Owls carpet the entrances to their homes with animal dung, which attracts dung beetles and other insects that the owls then catch and eat. They may also collect bottle caps, metal foil, cigarette butts, paper scraps, and other bits of trash at the entrance, possibly signifying that the burrow is occupied.
Burrowing Owls have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than other birds—an adaptation found in other burrowing animals, which spend long periods underground, where the gas can accumulate to higher levels than found above ground.
Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size.
Burrowing Owls often stow extra food to ensure an adequate supply during incubation and brooding. When food is plentiful, the birds' underground larders can reach prodigious sizes. One cache observed in Saskatchewan in 1997 contained more than 200 rodents.
The oldest known Burrowing Owl was at least 9 years, 11 months old when it was sighted in California in 2014.

Eye to eye contact with an owl at close quarters, can it get any better?

The hamsa is believed to provide defence against the evil eye.
It is palm-shaped amulet which is popular throughout North Africa and the Middle East and due to this popularity, it is commonly used as a design for jewelry and wall hangings and depicts an open right hand clutching an evil eye! And you get two eyes on this amulet for the price of one!
For the Macro Mondays group theme of ‘Eye’.
Looks like the bird is trying to contend with a big seed. If I'm not mistaken, they tend to go for smaller seeds due to their small beak and mouth.

This encounter with a blooming plant made me especially happy. When walking back to my parked vehicle, I spied a burst of yellow out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately I'd been taking pictures earlier in the day and had my macro lens with me. I sprinted to my car to retrieve my macro lens and spent many happy minutes taking in the thin filaments of white with their yellow anthers. As Henri Matisse said, "There are always flowers for those who want to see them."
Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is green-eyed hawker. In Britain it is a rare and local species and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.
A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.
