A pair of Semipalmated Plovers face off, with the one on the left a little intimidated by the others display and aggression.
Another picture with different angle from this greatly illuminated path.
The grass is still frozen white, and the sun slowly vanishes the morning dew.
“The doctrine of the Trinity is ultimately a teaching not about the abstract nature of God, or about God in isolation from everything other than God, but a teaching about God’s life with us and our life with each other.”
-Catherine Mowry LaCugna
It’s just an old country store in a small town that was bypassed by a highway. Brighton, Missouri, is now a quiet, mostly empty town with no real need anymore for a small general store. There’s a Walmart just a few miles away where you can buy “the world".
The Black and White Warbler behaves much like a Nutthatch in that they are often climbing on branches and trees upside down or climbing downward, where other warblers tend to perch upright.

Autumn transforms the landscape in the Swiss Alps in a golden sea. High above Zermatt in Switzerland the iconic Matterhorn is surrounded by beautifully colored nature.
5 frame time lapse taken in extremely trying conditions. The camera was facing directly into a gale. It’s my first attempt at stacking photos together to make a long exposure.

Le tempeste dell’anima sono peggiori delle tempeste del cielo.
Proverbio africano
Un fulmine squarcia le nuvole minacciose e porta la tempesta sempre più vicina, mentre la laguna attende lo sferzare dei venti.

I don't understand why people do not understand the urgency and gravity of us facing extinction.
Extinction.
Romalea microptera. Also known as the Florida Lubber, Diablo, or the Black Diablo... the Devil's Horse, and the Graveyard Grasshopper. Poisonous to most of its potential predators except for the Loggerhead Shrike, a bird that decapitates and then impales the grasshopper on a thorn to dry in the sun and detoxify the carcass before consuming! They are extremely resistant to pesticides except when very young and are considered pests to farmers and gardeners. They are not harmful to humans. Can also produce a hissing noise. Seen here in Southwest Florida. This guy did not flee... stood his ground while being photographed and actually turned and stayed facing the camera slightly regardless of my angle! He did not hiss at me though and we parted in peace...
Blue Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes annulosus)
When I was looking through the archives for yesterday I noticed that there was another creature facing the Damselfly in this image. I have no clue what the other creature is.
The storm raged throughout the night, with torrential rain and cyclonic winds. When morning came, the rain continued, but the wind calmed down a bit.
Sliding past granite peaks rising thousands of feet from the water’s edge is a fantastic experience and under a severe storm it turned into an epic one.

Coming towards the end of my 'pink' sunset shoot at Findhorn Bay the other evening, I turned to look down the Bay towards Kinloss and Forres. The contrast in colour between the 2 directions was extreme with only a few upper clouds hinting at the hues towards the north in an otherwise blue vista. The slightly thicker haar in this direction aded to the scene's tranquillity and I just about got away with the 5 second exposure to flatten the slightly rippled water.
