A well known and frequently photographed feature in Valley of Fire State Park that is called "Fire Wave". It is best photographed near sunset, but then there are many visitors around and difficult to get photos without lots of people in the scene. There were only 5 early morning visitors here when this image was made. A portion of the shadow of one of the photographer's tripod is in the lower portion of this image, which maybe I should have cropped out to avoid any human evidence in the photo.
Phidippus audax (spiderling)
I thought the leaf looked a bit like a wave so I decided to be creative :-) Canon 6D, 65mm MPE, homemade diffuser
The golden light of the Autumnal sunshine highlighting the waves at Southbourne Bournemouth Dorset. A lone seagull at the end of the groyne.
This image I captured shortly past sunrise as the tide was being pushed up the bay by a strong, persistent wind. The wave heights were amazing and the sea-sounds were mesmerizing. I found it interesting that the stand-alone cloud near mimics the crashing wave in shape and color.
This is number 3 in a series entitled Wave Jumper. This snowy egret did not want to "ride the waves" as it was fishing and decided to jump over it to avoid getting soaked. Thanks for visiting!
Found a nice spot on the rocks in Lincoln Township Beach to sit and watch the waves roll into the beach.
like the surfers, I was trying to catch the good wave curls! this was one of the best ones I managed to get
A spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a small dolphin found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it spins along its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air.
Spinner dolphins are small cetaceans with a slim build. Adults are typically 129–235 cm long and reach a body mass of 23–79 kg. This species has an elongated rostrum and a triangular or sub triangular dorsal fin.
Spinner dolphins generally have tripartite color patterns. The dorsal area is dark gray, the sides light gray, and the underside pale gray or white. Also, a dark band runs from the eye to the flipper, bordered above by a thin, light line. However, the spinner dolphin has more geographic variation in form and coloration than other cetaceans. In the open waters of eastern Pacific, dolphins have relatively small skulls with short rostra.
A dwarf form of spinner dolphin occurs around southeast Asia. In these same subspecies, a dark dorsal cape dims their tripartite color patterns. Further offshore, subspecies tend to have a paler and less far-reaching cape. In certain subspecies, some males may have upright fins that slant forward. Some populations of spinner dolphin found in the eastern Pacific have bizarre backwards-facing dorsal fins, and males can have strange humps and upturned caudal flukes.
This image was taken in the Red Sea as we sailed from Aqaba in Jordan towards Salalah in Oman.
It was a gray day with blustery winds from the NW and waves rocking the western shore of Lake Michigan. In other words, a perfect day to take some shots in b&w. There were no surfers out, but there was enough other action to make my lake visit interesting.
