A flock of Lesser Snow Geese flying in formation. This was taken last spring but I'm hoping to get over to the Fraser Valley again within the next week or so (weather permitting) to see them again in their annual migration.

These brown pelicans typically fly up and down the dunes on the Texas coast in a formatiion, usually abreast but in a diagonal, like these. Usually their formation is a bit neater, but not many were out there during this visit.
Chicago Airshow 2021. This edition of the series was abbreviated to just this one performance team due to pandemic restrictions, but still, huge crowds gathered along the lakefront to see and hear the action.

The National Trust is usually thought of as an organisation to protect historic buildings but as I learnt in Dorset they all protect precious habitats. These delightful sand dunes on Studland Bay are managed by the Trust and appear to be thriving . Maintaining a sand dune is clearly a complex process . The following notes are from the Trust website the information contained I thought was fascinating .
“What we know about sand dunes, how they function and thrive, has changed. Previously, we thought dunes should be stabilised – protected from disturbance and cornered off from people. And so, fences were put up, we were told to stay away, and the dunes had nothing to keep them dynamic. Climate change and air pollution only made matters worse. They sent a boost of energy and nutrients into an ecosystem that had formed on the bare minimum, catalysing plant growth. Combine our intentional and unintentional efforts, and we began to lose the essence of our sand dunes.
We removed factors that would normally result in cycles of dune formation and instead accelerated the forward process. Now Studland’s mosaic landscape is slowly becoming smothered by gorse and trees. Open sandy habitats are being buried and rare wildlife pushed out. Data from the Cyril Diver citizen science project in 2016, reveals species like the Sand Lizard and Meadow Pipit shrinking in distribution, their numbers squeezed to the dune edges.
Studland’s dunes need our help. We need to slow down the acceleration of plant growth, restore Studland’s mosaic landscape and bring back the dynamic nature of our dunes into a self-regulating system. These are the aims of the Dynamic Dunescapes project. The project is a partnership between Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, The Wildlife Trusts and the National Trust, with National Trust sites including Woolacombe and Studland Bay.
At Studland Bay, four routes will be taken to restore the dunes:
1 Bare ground creation: Using tractors and mechanical excavators to clear sections of dense vegetation and re-create areas of bare sandy ground.
2 Reintroducing cattle grazing: Cattle mimic the benefits wild herbivores have on an ecosystem; they create bare ground, crop vegetation and form mosaic landscapes. In 2021, ten Red Devon cattle will arrive to Studland and start grazing the dense vegetation at the centre of the dunes.
3 Removing invasive carp from Little Sea: Carp were illegally introduced to a freshwater lake, known as Little Sea, triggering an ecological collapse. Dynamic Dunescapes will provide funding to remove carp from Little Sea and restore the ecosystem.
4 People: What better way to open the land, limit vegetation growth and create some much-needed disturbance than our very own feet? We want to remove the presumption that exploring the dunes will harm them. Instead we want to encourage people into the dunes, to learn about them, experience their beauty and help get them back to their sandy ways.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Mallard Drakes and a hen (of course.) Another oldie moved over from DeviantArt. This has EXIF data, so I'm not sure why the date, (2020) isn't recognized.
I have been wanting to create an image of a chessboard and its pieces but struggled with the composition. After viewing several chess themed images I decided to create this image. Instead of pointing the camera in the same plane as the chessboard, I raised it a bit just enough to see all the pieces. I had an AlienBees B800 strobe camera left with a Haoge snoot modifier with a honeycomb grid to limit light spill.
This place is just east of Cottonwood Cove, near where people park to hike. It's just outside of the South Coyote Buttes permit area, I believe. The Chess Queen formation is at the far end of these rocks. You have to walk almost past them to see it.

The Marvelous Bridges is a rock formation in the Rhodope Mountains in southern Bulgaria.The "bridges" were formed by the erosive activity of the once high-water river. It transformed the marble clefts into a deep water cave, the ceiling of which whittled up through time and collapsed, allegedly during an earthquake.The large boulder is 15 metres at its widest and 96 metres long, and shaped by three vault arches, the largest of which is 45 metres high and 40 metres wide.
These planes were seen flying in precise formation over Lake Balboa, Van Nuys CA. I believe these are WWII planes - perhaps the North American AT-6 Texan. Not a plane expert - just tried looking up on the web. So, please correct. I would be interested to know the correct ID.
Dark castles, dark forts, dark citadels… however you translate the word Dimmuborgir, it should give you some idea of the mangled forms that lie within. Twisted towers of coagulated rock breach the earth’s surface to form a lava field full of giant pillars, chimneys and tubes to scramble across. These dramatic structures never fail to impress and are one of Iceland’s most popular tourist destinations.
Geology
Quite literally like the icing squirted on the geological cake of Lake Mývatn, these rock formations are completely unique. The only other similar land mass known to exist being beneath the sea, off the coast of Mexico. They are thought to be the remains of a lava reservoir which formed above a lake. As it began to cool, the reservoir was released, leaving only the bizarrely shaped remnants you see today.

Estero Bluffs State Park,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
Adventures with Nature docent friend Norma took us for a walk at Estero Bluffs, a place that is very familiar to me. But I don't know the rocks and she does--she really gets distracted by them. Thanks for the lessons, Norma.
