Felt this needed umm, some ‘creative’ input having languished as a colour shot for some time ...

Between the silvery outer edges and tips of native Eremophila nivea, I came upon this tiny male wolf spiderling in the process of ballooning. He was hardly bigger than a pinhead. He made several attempts, eventually disappeared.....so perhaps he was successful at getting further afield.
Ballooning is a process by which spiders move through the air by releasing one or more gossamer threads to catch the wind. This causes them to become airborne at the mercy of both air and electric currents. Moments such as this remind me of the frailty of life and what others are dealing with. Yet these tiny life forms soldier on.

Albuquerque has the optimal weather conditions for hot air ballooning, which include wind conditions and air temperature. Both of these factors contribute to successful hot air ballooning and Albuquerque has the perfect mix.

The other photo I posted like this one was popular so I decided to

The Burchell's Zebra lives in small family units, which typically consist of one stallion and one mare with their foals. Non-breeding stallions occur in bachelor groups. Herd stallions are between four to 12 years old. Water holes in conjunction with favoured grazing areas attract family groups which collectively congregate in large numbers. They are often seen in close association with Wildebeest, other plains Antelope and Baboons. Non-seasonal breeders, foals may be born in any month. However, under optimal conditions, more foals are born during summer. After a gestation period of 360-390 days, a single foal is born, which weighs 30-35 Kg. Foals are weaned at the age of 11 months.
