The Pacific white skate, Bathyraja spinosissima, is a large skate found in deep water rocky habitat, at depths of up to 2,900 meters (9,500 feet).
Skates are found throughout the world ocean, from shallow coastal waters to the open ocean, but are rarely observed in deeper environments. Shallow-water skates are better studied, but knowledge of the deeper diving species in this group is limited. That’s because a lot of information comes from animals brought up in trawl nets, which give scientists little to no information on their behaviors, habitat preferences, or depth ranges. These rare creatures are difficult to find, and when they are found, they cannot be easily collected for study from these deep areas.
I am not sure if the quail is fat or floofed to stay warm, but he took his job as sentry seriously. Never left his perch. There were a lot of quail swarming on the ground.☺️

Taking a moment to appreciate the delicate precision of this excavator as it loads a dump truck and levels the ground at our farmhouse renovation project in Columbia County, NY

"Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. "
~Maya Angelou

Mesmerizing Memories- This is a bouquet of forget-me-nots placed on an orange gladioli. The forget-me-not symbolizes sincere and everlasting love, faithful love even through tribulations, and a timeless bond. The forget-me-not is said to bring fond memories you shared with someone. It is also a symbol to be mindful of the ones you love in life and to create perpetual joyful memories while you are blessed to have them in your life. There is a German myth about a couple taking a romantic stroll along the Danube River. They spot the beautiful blue blooms of the forget-me-not. The handsome and romantic gent attempts to pick a bouquet for his love, but tragically slips and is swept away by the river’s fierce current. As he is carried away by the current, he cries out to her, “Forget me not my love!” It is believed this is how the flower was named. The Gladioli symbolizes strength and integrity. It also represents infatuation. If you gift a gladiolus to someone one you are telling them that have injected your heart with passion. The gladioli is a flower of drama. I thought it was a good pairing with the forget-me-nots. Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i. Ch’I is a river pristine energy, a power that not only flows through us, but unites our tangible self, our body, thoughts, emotions and sensations to our intangible, our spirit and consciousness. Ch’I is the crux of our pure self. #anxietyreliever #stressreduction #relaxingvideos #positiveenergy #positivevibes #zen #zenvibes #zenartist #mindfulnesspractice #mandalas #mandalalover #mandalaartwork #mandalaart #mandalalovers #mandalapassion #momentofzen #forgetmenot #flowerartwork #flowermandala #flowerslover
“For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow”- Antoine de Saint-Exupery From our photoshoot at the White Sands National Monument. Such a magical place, loved how quiet it would get out there. I’ll always cherish moments like these creating photos with my beautiful wife @casey_bartels #fashion #fashionphotography #fashionphotographer #fashionphotoshoot #style #styleinspo #whitesandsnationalmonument #newmexico #outdoors #naturelovers #embracetheunknown #beauty #sandiegophotographer #sdphotosquad #photography #artofvisuals #artistsoninstagram #photooftheday #flow #editorial #editorialphotography #editorialphotoshoot #editorialphotographer #naturalbeauty #momentofzen (at White Sands National Monument, NM) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckl9Fo4yJHs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It’s all quiet across the lake tonight except for the boat blasting something about “slappa dat ass”, and the group arguing about Moe handing out money to distract from what’s really going on. #momentofzen
I was sitting by the water’s edge watching a cormorant gobble up fish after fish. Out of nowhere, this little snowy egret flew in and landed not five feet from me. I snapped a few quick photos then put my camera down to just watch them. It’s really neat how they shuffle their feet to stir up prey items. They caught a couple tiny fish, and then I quietly snuck away and left them to their morning hunting. #momentofzen #snowyegret #egrettathula #sepulvedabasin #sepulvedabasinwildlifereserve #sepulvedawildlifereserve https://www.instagram.com/p/CZa2aAMLBT5/?utm_medium=tumblr
