This is an image I took from a glass blowing presentation at Wimberley Glassworks in Wimberley Texas. They were showing how they make pieces of their new collection called dragon scale vases.

Colpo d'occhio

Phaethornis eurynome - Only large hermit hummingbird in its range with black feathers on the throat giving it a scaled appearance. The bill is slightly curved. The back is olive-green and it has a strong mask. The tail is long and white-tipped. Similar to Dusky-throated Hermit, but Scale-throated Hermit is bigger with a longer tail. Found in the understory of humid and montane forests.

Happy Tuesday!

Alliance Grain Company (a farmer owned coop), Cabery, Illinois (population 266). Harvest season makes for long days in the US heartland.

This photo goes with the next image of Factory Butte in Utah.

This shot is from my good friend and photographer Brian Klepper.

Can you find me in the scene? I had just finished shooting and began the hike back, and he spotted me. I am a small black spec about one third up from the bottom and towards the left.

Icerya sp ?

This chickadee was in our big apple tree earlier today, and came down low on the trunk for a nice portrait shoot.

...really against a harsh hot environment. When one sees the vast dry White Sands Park one really sees the scale and strange environment that a flower can even grow. Yes I laid down to get image - soft for a change but then found sand everywhere, Had to be extra careful changing lens here.

This is Deadvlei in The Namib desert. The trees are petrified on the salt pans in the middle of the desert. It is an amazing sight. The people give it scale but I would love to have been alone there too.

A little beauty - enjoying the nectar of the sage flower - at Tapiraí, São Paulo.

Happy Sunday!

A great shop for exotic pets. This is where we bought Mr. Crawley (may he rest in peace) years and years ago.
