Revising favorite childhood haunts - I had a few weeks back in Arizona and this album covers images from that visit and a visit to Puerto Penasco, Mexico where we were delighted with an ultra rare show of northern lights.

This is what really got me crazy for tiny mushrooms.

Photographed at Morris Arboretum

Hygrocybe miniata (very young one)

Jumping spiders are some of the most fascinating arachnids, with incredible vision, lightning-fast reflexes, and a curious personality that makes them perfect macro subjects. This Zebra Jumping Spider was darting around constantly, making it a challenging but rewarding subject to capture.

 

To ensure maximum detail and depth, I used photo bracketing and then stacked the images in Photoshop to achieve an extended depth of field. Final color grading and refinements were done in Lightroom to bring out the intricate textures and fine hairs on this tiny predator.

I’d been chasing a dream shot of

the rare Golden Tiger in

Kaziranga for over a year

always a glimpse, never a

clear view.

 

Recently, while on safari with

@vickykaziranga bhaiya and

a foreign guest, we waited in

an area known for sightings.

A driver pointed it out in the

distance

I got a few far-off shots, and

soon more jeeps gathered.

 

That’s when Vicky bhaiya carefully

positioned our jeep near a

known crossing path.

We waited.

 

Then, magic.

The Golden Tiger emerged from

the jungle and crossed the road

right in front of us.

I finally got the shot I’d been

chasing for so long.

 

Unreal moment. One I’ll never forget.

Phyllotopsis nidulans, Grindstone Park, on a log

A vertical close-up shot captures the intricate details of dry, golden-brown reeds and grasses in the foreground, with some sparse green shoots interspersed. The background is softly blurred, showing more of the tall, dry vegetation against a bright, possibly hazy or overcast sky. The warm, earthy tones of the dried plants dominate the scene, suggesting late summer or autumn in a natural field setting near Frankenbach, Heilbronn.

Taken at Magic Wings butterfly house in South Deerfield, MA. I would appreciate any help with identifying this one. Thanks.

This little fella just walked infront of me, and happily posed... or was he scared stiff of a huge human pointing a big black thing at him??

A majestic male Asiatic Lion peers through the forest, his golden eyes locked in a powerful gaze. Captured in a rare moment of stillness, this portrait reveals the quiet intensity and beauty of one of the world’s most endangered big cats. Photographed in the wild, where these kings of the Gir forest silently rule, this image embodies strength, solitude, and survival
