Reminiscent of a troupe of wide-eyed clowns, Acorn Woodpeckers live in large groups in western oak woodlands. Their social lives are endlessly fascinating: they store thousands of acorns each year by jamming them into specially made holes in trees. A group member is always on alert to guard the hoard from thieves, while others race through the trees giving parrotlike waka-waka calls. Their breeding behavior is equally complicated, with multiple males and females combining efforts to raise young in a single nest.

Young Prickly Pear Fruits.
After the prickly pear cactus flowers die, some of them form edible fruits. Only those skilled in cleaning and preparing them would dare to eat them.

Towering dunes rise like golden waves beneath a cloudless sky, their curves shaped by time and wind. Shadows dance upon the shifting sands, while resilient trees stand as silent witnesses to nature’s ever-changing masterpiece. In this vast desert, beauty and solitude intertwine, painting a scene of quiet majesty.
I spotted this tiny flower growing where a recreational park and a canyon met. Perhaps the plant was benefitting from the watered grass nearby and was able to show off it's hidden beauty. Maybe the modern carnation got its start from this week.

This is the beautiful result of last Thursdays storms in the Hudson Valley. It was amazing...we passed West Point, heading North...turned a curve and a winter wonderland was laid out in front of us. A spectacular vision and one that reminded me there is always a silver lining. I hate winter but I can handle it much better if I am amongst the beauty of nature!

It might be fair to say that I'm experimenting in new directions with my stuff of late. This trip to NZ saw me spending much more time using a telephoto lens to extract interesting detail and scenes like the great trees around Arrowtown. I now realize that I owe a lot to a photographer named Bruce Heinemann for the way I was seeing on this trip. A few weeks prior I picked up a book on sale containing his work. Leafing back through last night I can certainly see big time similarities in my captures from NZ and his woodland work.
I'm really anxious to print some of these as the computer screen simply does not do justice to the detail.

The origination of life on our planet is still remains a mystery. Life is a mystery. Life is a unity of everything alive in nature. Life is a metaphysical thing. True mystery of life is love. Earth is a living body constantly giving birth to a new life, spirit and compassion.
There are certain theories of the origin of life. Was life originated from a deep ocean, or from a mixture of molecules subjected to lightning, or from seeds from the Moon, or arrived here from outer space on meteorites, comets, asteroids, or created purposely by God alone in 6 days, or established by "gods" from the 12-th planet?
We can only speculate about it.
