This little male bunting is singing his morning song. It's summer and the buntings are not singing as much. Grass seeds are maturing and they are feeding on the ground a lot. Almost impossible to see in grass because they are so small. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
...searched the house high and low for something interesting to choose for this week's theme and found a mug that was hand painted by my son when he was about 6 or 7. Quite abstract but I can see a face in the splatters
Kachina Point, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park
Arizona's Painted Desert is a surprising land of contrasting colors, light and textures, accented with occasional tree fossils leftover from the ancient forest which flourished here 200 million years ago. These badlands are especially enchanting when washed in moonlight, as seen here.
To see this desert past sunset however, plan well ahead of time. The Painted Desert is actually part of Petrified Forest National Park, and as such is only accessible to the public after sunset in certain viewpoints, and that only with a controlled permit. This is primarily to lesson the likelihood of people freely taking fossils ("petrified wood") from the park. You need to reserve very early in the day as not many permits are available.
This worked to our advantage that night, as my son and I were the only ones there at Kachina Point. We had the park all to ourselves, with a full moon, a gentle breeze, and the happy peace of nature all around.

This was taken on a prairie grass trail at a local provincial park. I was hoping to find Clearwing Moths on this trail, but instead found my first Painted Lady of the year and several others, plus several Viceroys (FOY) and a few Monarchs.

I'm flying home today, only thirteen hours of travel!
We left South Camp at Nxai Pan right after sunrise. It's an infamous road getting from the camping area down to the park entrance, because the surface alternates between deep sand and bone-rattling, bumpy wash-boarded sections. But... it's also known for wildlife.
We saw a small pack of African Wild Dogs (aka Painted Dogs), making the hassle of driving the road well worth-it.

An area of Badlands across northern Arizona, the painted desert is one of the driest parts of Arizona - except for the day I was there of course.
It was very windy and heavily overcast for most of the afternoon, with some rain arriving late. Despite that, it's still an amazing place and extremely colourful even without the additional sunlight.
This was taken in the Petrified Forest National Park in October 2015.
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Still Life: Cold meats, sharp cheddar, and grapes.
And well it turns out I was a little more hungry than I originally thought, so....
Still Life: ....Grapes.

Iris reticulata 'Painted Lady' - the first of the spring bulbs tempted out by the warmth of my living room's sunniest windowsill. Sweetly scented...
These neotropicals don't have a huge range in North America, we are blessed to have good numbers of them in Oklahoma. My fave neotropical. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Back in the dappled shade of the oaks. The early morning light is illuminating his chartreuse scapulars. What beautiful birds! Our beautiful world, pass it on.
The sudden arrival of hot weather over the last few days brought a lot of beautiful painted lady butterflies into my garden on Sunday evening. I think they must have been refueling on nectar as they set off on their long migration.
From Mom’s balcony, the sunset over Boston feels almost magical—the sky glows in blues, oranges, purples. For a quiet moment, everything slows, and the views feel soft and calming.
