Stepping off the beaten path, I found this composition of Balanced Rock in Arches National Park.
NPS-
Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features in the park, stands a staggering 128 feet tall. While this formation may appear to be an epic balancing act, it’s actually not balanced at all. The slick rock boulder of Entrada Sandstone sits attached to its eroding pedestal of Dewey Bridge mudstone. The exposure of these two rock strata layers are ideal for the formation of arches and balanced rocks.
Balanced Rock defies gravity but this won’t always be the case. Eventually, the 3,600 ton (over 4 million kg) boulder will come tumbling down as the erosional process continues to shape the landscape. In the winter of 1975-76, Balanced Rock’s smaller sibling “Chip-Off-the-Old-Block” collapsed, proving that there is no better time than the present to see this awe-inspiring giant.

When the Sunshine Coast of BC receives a great deal of rain, the river that runs through Cliff Gilker Park, churns with activity. I wanted to catch that momentum, and illustrate the fast moving water.
This spot has an overhanging branch with a fragile outcropping teetering below. I figured that a stationary figure might further enhance the action of the water, in this long exposure.
A boulder sits atop a rock island in Watson Lake within the Granite Dells, Prescott Valley, AZ, February, 2026. From this view, it sits on an incline......teetering? We got wonderful light on this hike.
WAMX SD40M-2 4189 sits where it came to rest after Grand Elk train 303 hit a wash out under the 28th street bridge in Wyoming. Unlike 4125, it did not roll completely onto its side.
The color of the flower was almost too vibrant to a nice shot. So, I sprayed it with water so the drops could be the "star" of the show.

The two juveniles amused themselves for quite some time, balancing on the flagpole and playing with the pulleys.

Amazing the things you find in the woods. This teeter totter has been placed on a secluded and somewhat little used trail to cater for the growing mountain bikers that use the woods these days.
Well done "big H" !
A quick roadside snap on the way through to Coniston .. I've been waiting for a while for the conditions to be suitable in order to take the shot at Yewtree Tarn :) Thankyou for viewing , your comments and advice are always greatly appreciated
Spotted Sandpiper
One of the characteristics of the Spotted Sandpiper is teetering or bobbing its tail up and down. This motion has earned the peep several nicknames such as teeter-peep, teeter-bob, jerk or perk bird, teeter snipe, and tip-tail. The function of the typical teetering motion has not been determined. Chicks teeter nearly as soon as they hatch. When the bird is nervous it teeters faster, but stops when it is alarmed, aggressive or courting. (Cornell)
With its unique tail-bobbing, gorgeous plumage, and the female’s polyandrous breeding strategy, the Spotted Sandpiper quickly became a favorite of mine among peeps.
Olive, a soft-coated wheaten terrier, sits on the teeter totter. She's a very cooperative pup when it comes to photo shoots, but I pay the price: the second she knows I'm done clicking Olive goes into full-on attack-the-photographer mode. Yelling, "SQUIRREL!" or "Here Kitty, Kitty" will usually put a stop to her attempts to tenderize any and all parts of my body.
