What I believe to be a four yr. old on final approach to the next meal. What remains unseen is the unsuspecting Shad who's moments away from their first and last acupuncture treatment.
Photographed this insect just before sunset so it was covered by a lovely orange glow. Thanks to Rob for identifying it as a Dance/Dagger Fly. Image taken on the River Soar just behind Dishley Pool in Loughborough.

For my second new release of 2017: an abstract I recently made during my travels in California. I love creating these types of images, and this one has become an instant personal favorite. Can you figure out what it is?
Thick layers of volcanic tuff are shaped into fantastically chiseled features by the deft hand of erosion, Wheeler Geologic Area, La Garita Wilderness, Colorado.
One of the largest volcanic explosions the Earth has ever endured is thought to have occurred not far from the location seen here when the La Garita Caldera erupted approximately 28 million years ago. Ash from the explosion was deposited in extraordinary layers 300 feet thick (100 m), and after a thirty year effort to map it, the Caldera was discovered to be gargantuan, comprising an area that is oblong in shape and roughly 22 miles (35 km) by 47 miles (75 km). The volume of material let loose into the atmosphere is estimated to be 4,800 times that of the Mount Saint Helens eruption. The only known explosion of greater force the Earth has known is when the meteorite that pushed the dinosaurs to extinction slammed into the Yucatán Peninsula.
Usually I only get to see a couple of these striking beauties per year, but have already found four this month!
