Ohh, to be a fat happy seal on the beach enjoying life at my own pace... 😂

📷 Photo captures a solo female Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) basking in the hazy sunlight on a central Californian beach. The remainder of the rookery was clustered a few hundred yards up the beach. A handful of very large adult males flipped dry sand onto their backs while about a dozen very active juveniles were in the surf, doing what juvenile creatures do best: playing, fighting, yelling, splashing — basically running amuck. It’s no wonder this little lady chose to inchworm her way beyond the masses for some good ol’ fashioned “me-time”. Friends of the Elephant Seal, San Simeon, CA; Sept 2017. 🌊🐘

“Probably one of my favourite location that I discovered this year in Switzerland. And now, i make it meaningful to me by celebrating the 3rd death anniversary of my mother. I love to take the time to explore, and remember her for everything that she has taught me over the years. Switzerland offers some of the best places to reflect with yourself. #never_stop_exploring #neverforget #Tourism #Reflection #BodyOfWater #Nature #Cloud #MountainRange #Landscape #Mountain #TranquilScene #ScenicsNature #Tranquility #Travel #Lake #Outdoors #Sky #swiss_landscapes #switzerland_bestpix #switzerland_destinations #switerland #swizerland_landscape #rain_mood #rain_photography #rainbow”
Happy Pollinator Week! 🐝
Fourteen years ago (2007), in an effort to address the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations, the U.S. Senate unanimously designated one week in June to pollinators. This week is a time to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what humans can do to help protect them. 🌼
Why does this matter? How does this even effect us? Well, for one, there are more than 200,000 species of pollinators worldwide. And, more than 75% of flowering plant species need the help of pollinators in order to fertilize. Over 1,000 plants worldwide are grown specifically for human consumption (food, beverages, spices, medicine, etc), and guess what?! They all need to be pollinated in order to make the resources on which we depend. So, in short, without pollinators we would not have a lot of the things that we rely on every single day. 🌸
Captured here is a monarch butterfly nectaring a red clover flower. Spotted in Upstate NY, August 2015.
For more information about pollinators and ways you can help, check out The Pollinator Partnership. Consider giving a donation, or planting a few native flowering plants in your yard, or even just educating yourself about the pollinators in your neighborhood. A little bit goes a long way. 💫

One of the last opportunities for me this year to get out for an astro shoot. This time with an enthusiastic bunch from Greymouth Photography Club and pretty much perfect conditions :)

2016|| Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures. Kill nothing but time.|| I wish quotes weren’t so lame, but my goodness is it relevant. These moroccan landscapes are timeless and stunning.

“I must have flowers always, and always.” — Claude Monet #ToujoursEtToujours 💐

📷 Photo captures a rainbow palette of Texas springtime wildflowers, with a bright red Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) at the front and center. There’s no denying the fact that Bluebonnets get most of the attention, and rightfully so, but I think these fluorescent Paintbrushes may be my personal favorite. (Subject to change, because I’m terrible at making firm decisions #LibraProblems)

When I wanted to explore the Canadian Rockies, I stayed in a town called Canmore, south of Banff, Alberta. This was one of my favorite locations in and around town where Rundle Forebay Reservoir reflected the pristine and awesome view of Ha Ling and Miner's Peak. Positively stunning! © 2013-Current.
