Smooth blue aster (Symphyotrichum Laeve). I captured these at the start of the Red Rock Canyon in Waterton Lakes NP, known for its wide variety of wildflowers.
“She adjusted her petals one by one. She did not wish to go out into the world all rumpled, like the field poppies. It was only in the full radiance of her beauty that she wished to appear” Antoine de Saint Exupery

Not too many obstructions for the Black Skimmers working a canal at Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge as long as they avoided the lounging gators.
Gimel-les-Cascades is a little village in a French area, called Limousin, with nice waterfalls.

Crotophaga ani (Smooth-billed Ani / Garrapatero)
The Smooth-billed Ani is a widespread resident of scrub and forest clearings from the Caribbean and Costa Rica south to Uruguay and northern Argentina; it also occurs in south Florida, although the population there has declined significantly there in recent years. Smooth-billed Anis live in small flocks and eat a variety of insects, small vertebrates and fruit.

Whenever I see this I wonder about the selection process. How was the leader chosen?What are his qualifications? Does he really know where he is heading or is he just a smooth talker? Were his background and experience taken into account? They seem to follow him without question. Does that make them loyal, stupid or both? View On Black

Devil's River Falls (in French: Chutes de la Rivière du Diable) at the discharge of the Lake Mont-Tremblant, Quebec Canada.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
This is the spillway or weir on the Glenbeulah mill pond. This was built to raise the level of the Mullet River for the grist mill that was there for decades, but no longer is in use. The caramel-colored river water gives the waterfall lovely streaks as it spills over the dam.

Pastels rule the evening along the La Jolla coast. Depending on atmospheric conditions, the marine layer can lay well off the coast and create a soft view like this, or overtop the shoreline and make sunset either non-existent or supremely dramatic.
I like the feel of this image. It is tranquility defined and takes me away from the hustle and bustle that can often define Southern California living.
Congrats on Explore!

The plant itself can grow 1 to 3 feet high. The flowers it produces are only 4mm wide though. They are invasive in our area but they are still pretty so I take pics of them anyway.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
The Nabegataki waterfalls in Kumamoto prefecture, in Southern Japan. With plenty of rainfall as of late, the falls were even more impressive than usually. There were only few tourists around, which made taking pictures easier.
最近、雨が多いですから、熊本県の鍋ヶ滝の勢いは通常よりもありました。訪ねた日には、観光客はわりと少なくて、撮りやすかったです。
I'm a huge fan of clouds & I loved the shape & smoothness of these beauties! I hope you all like them too! Enjoy your day my friends =)
