Azure-crowned Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: In the serene landscape of Villa Verde, at the entrance to the famed Celaque National Park in Honduras, I had the opportunity to photograph the striking Azure-crowned Hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala. This region, renowned for its biodiversity, presented a natural canvas for capturing the essence of this vibrant species. The bird, with its distinctive metallic blue crown that glistens like a sapphire under the Honduran sun, offered a compelling subject against the lush, green backdrop of its habitat in Gracias, Lempira. From a photographer's standpoint, the challenge lay in capturing the intricate details and vivid colors of the hummingbird while maintaining a naturalistic setting. Utilizing a shallow depth of field, I aimed to accentuate the bird's dazzling crown and iridescent plumage, allowing these features to stand out sharply against a smoothly blurred background. The interplay of natural light filtering through the canopy added a dynamic quality to the image, highlighting the textures and hues of the bird's feathers. This photograph is a testament to the patience and precision required in wildlife photography, where waiting for that perfect moment can unveil the extraordinary beauty of even the smallest subjects. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

Ubehebe Crater

At the north end of Death Valley sits a small volcanic field. About 2,100 years ago, a body of basaltic magma forced its way to the surface along the Tin Mountain Fault, reaching the surface near the floor of Death Valley.

2,100 years ago, Death Valley was a different place. It more closely resembled the rest of the Mojave Desert's scrubby vegetation, and cooler temperatures allowed for more water to be present across the region. A shallow lake permanently occupied what is now called Badwater Basin, and other marshy regions were found along the length of Death Valley. As the body of basaltic magma rose to the surface, it encountered the significant groundwater deposits present. When lava meets water, explosive things happen.

(looking SW along the Tin Mtn. Fault)

A phreatomagmatic eruption occurs when magma encounters water and creates a near-continuous steam explosion. Ubehebe Craters consists of about 15 explosion craters, called maars. These many craters probably all formed about the same time, with the main Ubehebe Crater being the last one formed and therefore not filled with volcanic ejecta and debris. As the steam-magma slurry rose, it blasted through the surrounding rock which is a conglomerate composed of solidified alluvial fans coming off the surrounding mountains. Of the material erupted and thrown across the landscape, only about 1/3 of it is lava! The dark blanket surrounding the volcanic field consists mostly of fragments of this conglomerate baked and altered by its proximity to lava. You can find basaltic cinders with chunks of conglomerate trapped within, often baked orange or white by the heat.

The main Ubehebe Crater is quite large, about 800 m wide (1/2 a mile) and 270 m deep (800 feet). There's a steep and slippery path to the bottom, from which you can get a true appreciation of the size and power available in the inside of a volcano. The surrounding layers of alluvial conglomerate are faulted and cooked, showing that this area has seen some intense geologic activity in its lifetime.

Brown and gray layers show the surge deposits left by individual explosions during the eruptive period which probably lasted between a few days and several weeks. They sit directly atop the preexisting arroyo/bajada/alluvial fan surfaces.

Glacier last spring. Pro tip: Don't watch X-Files the day before you're planning on camping in the National Forest at the off chance a search and rescue helicopter beams your truck with a spotlight at 1am while you're sleeping.

The Great Chisos Mountains, doesn't it scream; LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE?

This has got to be one of those photos that anytime I feel low, I look at and it just reminds me of why I am doing what I am doing.

Utsikt från Fulufjället, akvarell, 17x12 cm

Det är ett sånt motiv som jag aldrig kommer att kunna göra rättvisa. När jag stod där blev jag alldeles fylld av vördnad inför utsikten. När jag försöker att måla den så känns det inte alls på samma sätt. Jag finner tröst i det faktum att världen består av så mycket mer skönhet än vad någon kan beskriva.

View from Fulufjället, watercolour, 17x12 cm This is one of those subjects that I could never make justice. When I stood there, the view filled me with awe. When I try to paint it, it just don't resonate with me the same way. I find comfort in the fact that the world holds a lot more beauty than what anyone could ever describe.

Found this little lady last weekend. She was gorgeous. Man she could be an off spring of one eye #2. Her paws were the same as one eye 2. She was cute. She was hunting when I pulled up. Stopped and checked me out. Found out I was no threat to her. She let me take some photos of her. Such a pretty creature. #fox #foxfriday #foxylady #waskesiu #waskesiulake #meanwhileinsask #parkscanada #nationalpark #princealbertnationalpark #panp #meanwhileincanada #ipulledoverforthis #wildlifephotography #wildanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQJ9DfrEUY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
