Relinquish the Crown
A cactus wren returns to its perch high atop a saguaro in the Sonoran desert to find a dove has chosen to occupy its briefly abandoned place. An attempt to motivate the dove to relinquish the saguaro crown and give up the space next to a sitting wren seems to fall on unresponsive feathers.
Craters of the Moon
Craters of the Moon is a steamfield in New Zealand and part of the greater Taupo Volcanic Zone of the North Island. Heat from the vents keeps much vegetation at bay but the verdance of enduring varieties mixed with venting steam makes for an unusual and inviting experience.
Baked Alaska
Alaskan terrain starts changing into its fall wardrobe while its southern relatives are still going green. When I left from Arizona in the month of August the broad leaves of Oak Creek Canyon were as bright as the summer allows. However as I traversed northward through the Canadian Rockies traces of the upcoming season were making themselves more and more evident, first in the understory then gradually moving up and outward to enliven eager limbs. Some were already a complete burst of color even before the official arrival of Fall according to the calendar. But then the northern climes endure more summer daylight making the short summer more intense anyway. The image shared is a colorful vignette garnered along gentle flats of the Tanana River Valley in eastern Alaska.
