Colorado National Monument is a spectacular park located on a high desert plateau of western Colorado near the Utah border. There are magnificent views of deep canyons, towering rock formations and abundant wildlife.
These interesting sandstone formations carved by wind and erosion are named the “Coke Ovens” because of their resemblance to the beehive ovens used historically in Europe and the Americas for burning coal to create coke, which was a fuel used to make iron ore.
Herbert Lake is a hidden gem on the Icefields Parkway in Alberta near Lake Louise. It was a very cold morning (near freezing) and no one was there but me. I was shivering by the still water waiting for the sun to rise. Gradually, the most beautiful colors started appearing in the sky as the sun rose. The mist on the water added an extra layer of wonder. Moments like this are rare so I shot as fast as I could because the colors changed quickly and the moment was gone. Fortunately I can share that special moment with everyone. I have previously posted a similar image, but I like this angle better. Enjoy. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
The magnificent tree frog, also known as the splendid tree frog, is a tree frog species first described in 1977. It has a limited range, only occurring on the north-western coast of Australia in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
That's it's name Magnificent/Splendid Tree Frog and it deserves it.
Have a lovely day
Bateleur Eagles usually come down to the water in the middle of the day.
They are a colourful species with a very short tail which, together with its white underwing coverts, makes it unmistakable in flight. The tail is so small the bird's legs protrude slightly beyond the tail during flight.
Size: The average adult Bateleur is 55 to 70 cm long with a 186 cm wingspan. The wing chord averages approximately 51 cm. Adult weight is 2 to 2.6kg. (Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Botswana)

January sunset from 2700 meters above the sea level in the Rila Mountains of Bulgaria, between Elenin Vrah peak and Maloyvitsa Peak.
Standing on the fresh pastures at Highfield provides the best view of Stanley. Here we can see how The Nut at 143 metres high protects the town from the prevailing weather conditions and high seas of Bass Strait. In the distance at the far left is Table Cape (also an extinct volcano). On the right is the town's water supply. At the centre of everything (especially in the warm summer months) Stanley's magnificent beach draws holiday makers to swell the permanent population of 550.

One from a trip in 2021. Elgol really is a place I feel I must visit each time I'm on Skye, it just seems to have everything a photographer craves, not least mountains that go into the sea and more often than not, moody light.
Common Buzzard., Common colours., Commonly seen
Perhaps there's something about their 'raw' appearance that makes them (for me) so appealing
No nonsense raptor ., that does exactly what it says on the tin!
Not all hummingbirds are created equal. Rivoli's Hummingbird (used to be called Magnificent)... Large hummingbird of Mexican Highlands that can be found in limited areas of Southwest U.S.

Magnificent Maple
Not sure how old this maple tree is on the road where I grew up in Fife Lake, Michigan. It’s been there as long as can remember and it’s color display this year is spectacular. Even after the snow/rain storm it’s still hanging onto most of it’s leaves. 🍁
