The lava tubes and volcanic features in Hawaii are really interesting. It’s neat to explore freshly created geography that is, in some cases, only a handful of years old.
I photographed this little beaver in the middle of the night in the Canadian arctic neat the Peel River in the Northwest Territories. There were more beavers in the arctic and sub arctic than I expected. Seeing them in that environment, I can’t help but picture them cozy in their dens hibernating during the long winters waiting for those endless summer arctic days, but it’s interesting that thy don’t actually hibernate in the winter.
I was surprised how close this puffy little Anna’s Hummingbird let me get for this photograph. Hummingbirds are such amazing little creatures. I’ll never get tired of their bright colors or crazy social antics. And, if only I could fly like that…..
I took this over/under photograph on a tributary of the King River in Alaska. The fresh runoff was super clear. The small stream wound its way through a green forest of young trees. As I took this image, butterflies darted around. A good memory of a beautiful place.
A nice little forest toadstool. I took this photograph in a beautiful green forest in eastern Alaska. The forest floor in this area was covered in many different types of mushrooms of assorted sizes and colors. In hindsight, I wonder if any of them were bioluminescent.
