The water in front of the north hide at Westhay was full of minnows and the passing Black-headed Gulls were on the look out for an easy meal.

Stunning beauty of Erawan waterfall make any visitor want to come and see the wonderful nature and beauty of the Erawan National Park. Erawan waterfall is considered the most beautiful waterfall in Thailand, it is derived from Monglai stream and dumps the hill at the height of 2,000 m and flows into Khwae Yai River. Famed for its impressive seven-tiered waterfall, Erawan National Park is a popular weekend spot for locals. Walking to the first three tiers is easy, but after that good walking shoes and some endurance are needed to complete the 1.5km hike. Bring a bathing costume as you will appreciate the cool water after reaching the top. Levels 2 and 4 are impressive, but be wary of monkeys who may snatch belongings while you're taking a dip. The wide pool of bright emerald water is fabulous for swimming. At each tier, you’ll catch a glimpse of the fish. Minnows like to hang around swimmers and pick at their dead skin; some might find them unnerving while others will enjoy the free fish spa. Erawan waterfall has a large limestone cave called Wang Badan located in the west of the park. There are many stalagmites and stalactites colorful inside the cave. Around 80% of Erawan is forest, and many of the park's various trees can be seen along three nature trails, which range from 1 km to 2 km. Bird-watchers try to spy hornbills, woodpeckers and parakeets from the camping areas and observation trails. Tigers, elephants, cobras and gibbons also call the park home.
This waterfall is located in the lush forests of the Erawan National Park. To visit this waterfall, visitors must go through a tortuous path with very attractive scenery. Just over a kilometre at the fourth tier, features a splendid swimming hole surrounded by boulders suitable for lounging. The highlight here is a natural water slide that shoots you several metres down smooth stone into water that strikes a darker shade of emerald thanks to overhanging trees.

Het twaalfde nationaal park van Thailand heet het Erawan National Park en herbergt hoge bergen en valleien De hoge bergen bieden het achtergelegen landschap bescherming tegen de oostelijke moesson. 80% van het park is bedekt met dichte bebossing. In het gebied leven veel vogels, reptielen, tijgers en olifanten. De belangrijkste en mooiste attractie van het Erawan National Park zijn de Erawan watervallen. Deze watervallen bestaan uit zeven trappen. De verschillende trappen zijn te bereiken via een avontuurlijk pad door de jungle. Onderaan iedere waterval is een kristalheldere poel waar je met het blote oog vissen ziet zwemmen en waar je een verfrissende duik kunt nemen. Middenin een dichtbegroeide, groene jungle, zagen we over de rand van verschillende rotsblokken helderblauw water naar beneden stromen. Het water komt uit in verschillende terrassen, waar je de bladeren op de bodem ziet liggen en de scholen vissen voorbij ziet zwemmen. Een java-aap keek vanaf een afstandje mee vanuit een boom. Yup, dit is het paradijs! De hoogste waterval bevindt zich na een hike van ongeveer 1,5 kilometer; wat een klim is van zo'n 1.5 uur. Het begin van het pad is goed aangelegd daarna eindigt het pad en wordt de klim over bruggetjes, rotsen, kleine watervallen en trappetjes steeds uitdagender. Trek dus goede wandelschoenen aan. Het wordt ook steeds mooier. We kwamen langs watervallen met natuurlijke glijbanen, waar we met alle plezier vanaf gleden. Ook waren er watervallen met schitterende, witte kalkafzettinggen tegen de rotsen en bomen, waardoor het water een melkachtige, blauwwitte gloed kreeg.
Feeling the "high test" of youth, this spike whitetail puts on a display of speed and agility. They can run up to 45 miles an hour.. This young fellow was inspired.
Minnow, unknown species? Fathead Minnow? Probably a bait bucket release.

Possibly genus Callibaetus. Males in the family Baetidae have these weird split eyes. I long wanted to see one of these! It is thought that males use the large upward-facing eyes to find flying females at night.

The Prickly Minnow is as deadly as it is ugly, with it's two enormous ion cannons mounted above and below the tiny cockpit. Rumor has it that the engineers behind the ship made the cockpit deliberately uncomfortable to anger the pilots and make them more aggressive.
I originally designed the body of this ship as one of the nacelles for a larger ship, but in a whim I stuck a windscreen in front of the intake, and liked the result enough to leave it that way.

This is an alternative crop of an image that I posted yesterday. I was using my 50-mp 5DS-R and still had plenty of pixels, even after this close crop.

Top billing normally goes to the bird in these types of shots, but, really, whose sacrifice was greater? Riparian Preserve, Gilbert, AZ.

thank you so much everyone for dropping by and leaving your footprint in my photostream. I really appreciate it. cheers, M.
99% of the time when I am fishing for smallmouth bass I use a floating sheep minnow on the end of my fly line. This has been going on for ten years now. For me, it really, really works! My friend Rick(shown in the image) has taken up the sheep minnow as his favorite too.
Rick anchored the boat in this spot when I was in the front of the boat. Then I had three good hookups with bass on the sheep minnow.. I turned the "honey hole" over to Rick and he landed three nice bass on his sheep minnow, this being the last one.
If you look between the fish and Rick you will see the "honey hole". It is where a small creek enters the river. The river's name? You know, I just can't remember!
All our sheep minnows have barbless hooks and we carefully release all fish.
To make this image I held the leader in one hand suspending the fish and with the other hand snapped the picture with my Sony RX100III.

Having a bit of fun shooting into the water on the banks of the Rock River. This was taken at the beginning of the month and I was surprised to see minnows still swimming around. I'll have to hurry and post the rest of my fall pics. They are talking snow for the weekend. The big question is how much.
