A Bull Elk watches as his harem crossed the snake river to head into the woods for the day. I was after this particular image and after spending several mornings waiting for the herd to cross, they finally obliged. The lead female comes and assess the situation and once its ok they all cross.

As the sun sets over Paris, the Eiffel Tower is bathed in a warm golden glow, casting long shadows across the city. The tower's steel curves and intricate details are silhouetted against a colorful sky of oranges, pinks, and purples. The tranquil Seine River flows peacefully below, reflecting the tower's brilliance in the water. The iconic tower's intricate iron lattice stands tall and proud, drawing crowds from all over the world. The moment is magical, and captures the essence of Paris - the city of love, romance, and unparalleled beauty.

Spotted some cute baby dragons running amuck at a local park! 🐉😍 These Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) are abundant in South Florida, although they are technically an invasive species (and a well-established one at that). 🙈

This morning, the Rainbow Mountains took the rare opportunity to hit the snooze button, roll back over under a fresh blanket of snow, and nuzzle up against the sleepy fluffs of clouds -- without the faintest idea of the beauty of it all. :)

Autumn views from Blue Ridge Parkway, part I 🍁
Recently, on a road trip to the Northeast for family matters, we had the opportunity to squeeze in a small diversion to the Blue Ridge Parkway on our trip back West. We got to trek the Plateau region of the Parkway, smack dab in the heart of Appalachia, and in the midst of the fall foliage season! ⛰
The day was off to a disappointing start with a skunked sunrise and a completely overcast sky (and not the kind of overcast that still has texture to it, of course ). So we walked a few trails, admired the many scenic overlook views, wandered into a small mountain town for lunch, and drove through one tree tunnel after the next painted with shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. 🍂
By late afternoon it was a completely different day, much to our delight. The clouds broke up and golden sunlight glazed across the landscape, bringing forth all the vivid color of autumn’s fingerprints on the mountains.
To be continued...

Big Horn sheep form an impenetrable wall and charge collectively at first I though me. Being half way up a mountain in knee deep snow for a moment I thought that was it. I will be killed by sheep. As it turned out there was a coyote behind me that the sheep were attacking to defend the young.

A fidgety Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) takes a split-second rest atop the spikes of a cholla cactus. Darting from one spiny cactus to the next while shouting all about it, this wren and his/her buddies made their presence well known to those of us on the hiking trail. While this bird paused for a quick jittery moment, I snapped about a dozen shots and then he dashed off into his needled playground. Found throughout the American SW and Mexico, and shown here among a Sonoran desert scene in Arizona, where the Cactus Wren also happens to be the state bird. 🌵

Reminder: beauty can be found in unexpected places... ❤️
Exhibit A 💁♀️📷: In a seemingly not-so-photogenic setting, a vivid crimson bird darted into the scene like a firecracker shooting to the sky, creating a bright beautiful display in a space that only moments earlier was bare and bland. 💥
I captured this image while out wildflower stalking this past spring, after complaining about the broken tree and noxious weeds in the background of what was otherwise a beautiful Firewheel field scene. Suddenly, a male Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) flashed across the landscape, then perched atop the aforementioned tree remains. I held my breath in disbelief — for many years I had fancied the opportunity to see this bird with my own eyes! And here he was, twenty yards in front of me, perched atop the splintery remains of an old dead tree. ♀️ In an excited panic, I pressed the shutter button anyway. He dashed and flittered, dove and bolted, back and forth from his newfound perch and the insect lunch-buffet over the field. A less-flamboyant brownish-gray female also joined in on the feeding frenzy for about ten minutes before they both raced away, disappearing up into the twisted branches of a Southern Live Oak tree. 🌳
And just like that, what I had previously judged harshly as a boring, worthless scene unexpectedly became the setting for quite an exhilarating spectacle! 💫

From last week, mid-deep-freeze in Central Texas. I took a few mini-adventures around the yard while we passed the time in between huddling around a tiny propane heater and waiting for power to come back on. Clearly, ice-glazed things became my muse, forcing me to slow down and take in all of the small details of the freeze, and leaving me with beautiful souvenirs of what was otherwise a terrible experience. Nothing like Mother Nature to keep you humble about basic necessities. All’s well that ends well. 😅❄️
