Capitol Reef national park, Utah. Barriers to western migration were once called "reefs.". Geologists call this kind of barrier a dissected monocline.
Cape Verde is not really for people who like to portray birds. It is for hiking. But in Ponta do Sol I did see some birds near the sea like the Turnstone, the Whimbrel and this bird the Western Reef Heron. A bird I hadn't seen before who was fishing near the rough ocean, running around to catch fish, not really bothered by my presence.
So i spent several hours and several days at this place which is situated near the harbor. That was another interesting place for observing. The fishing boats came in every morning, and a great part of the male population was buying fish here, and cleaning it on the lava beds in the ocean. The Turnstones (and the cats!) were present to eat the leftovers.
I was very careful stepping on some rocks to get to this pristine section of the desert. The soil there is alive, and takes many years to get to this state ... so not stepping on it is quite important. I really liked this pristine view of the earth there leading into the wall of the Reef there in Utah.
This view was via one of the back dirt roads there in the park.
It was quite amazing walking into the Grand Wash there in Capitol Reef ... the 14mm prime lens really worked well there in too to capture the feel of the space ...
The patterns and weathering of the rocks was extremely interesting, and changed with each passing turn of the canyon.

Going back through my shots at Ningaloo and this one spoke to me more of an abstract aerial.
A great but expensive scenic flight from Exmouth down the east coast and back up the west coast along Ningaloo Reef.
Ningaloo is a 260km long fringing reef which is accessible from the shore ie different from a barrier reef. It is Australia's largest fringing reef, a world heritage site and the only large reef positioned very close to a landmass.

Utah's Capitol Reef National Park in the late afternoon looking back from the west. Shows many of the diverse layers that make up the colorful views there.
Our last morning at Capitol Reef National Park took us back to the Slick Rock Divide and its surrounds. As I composed this one, it reminded me of Mt. Rushmore, sans personages. I was also saddened that we would be leaving this beautiful place, my last day blues, April 28, 2023.
340) Pacific Reef Egret
Pacific Reef Egret, Egretta sacra, Bangau Batu
This species can be found in many areas of Asia including the oceanic region of India, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Polynesia, and in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. The species displays an unusual, non-sexual dimorphism, with some members having entirely white plumage and others (the larger portion) being charcoal-grey. The reason for the colour variation or "morph", is unknown, though it is most commonly thought to be related to camouflage. Their food sources are made up predominantly of varieties of ocean-based fish, crustaceans and molluscs.

On our first night at Capitol Reef National Park we took a wrong turn when we left our RV park which was about 15 miles away. By the time we figured out our mistake and turned around it was getting late. So we arrived in the park after sunset. But we still managed to get some landscape shots.
Happy Saturated Saturday!
