Wavelike sandstone patterns of an Arizona slot canyon. In many places I had to turn my shoulders sidewise to get through.
A visitor to our garden, where my wife has grown these beautiful (and tasty) sunflowers.
Crested gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus – perhaps the cutest reptile around.

Design is a distressed version of a mon (Japanese family crest) I created based on an abstracted form for the chrysanthemum flower.
The Bateleur Eagle The Bateleur occurs throughout the savanna and open woodland regions of Africa south of the Sahara. In South Africa, the species once graced the skies of the Transkei, the Eastern Cape, the Karoo and the south Western Cape but sightings in these areas are no longer common. The Bateleur eagle eats carrion, reptiles, and small mammals like rats, / hedgehogs, squirrels or young hares. When attacking snakes, the bird raises its crest and spreads its wings. This, together with long, scaly legs, ensures that, should the snake strike, it will hit either feather or scales, neither of which will pass venom into the bird’s blood stream. The voice of the Bateleur eagle is quite distinctive. The most frequent consists of short repeated barks ‘kau-kau-kau’, followed by one or two long shouts of ‘koaagh’. In the wild this call is made while perched. Its scream of anger is completely different. 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the lowveld wildlife reserves, where the Bateleur probably occurs at maximum density in an ideal habitat, it is quite numerous. Outside of protected areas, the Bateleur is vulnerable to poisoned bait. The birds have been eradicated from virtually all South African farmland due to indiscriminate attempts to control jackal.
Predominantly dragan effect with selective dodging and burning. Shot in Addo Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

A crested lark in early morning sunlight in the dune area of the United Arab Emirates. These guys are native, and very hardy surviving in the harsh desert environment and they have a wonderful light song. This male was too preoccupied with competitors to pay much attention to me (that is why his crest is up) Featured in “Natural Color and Light” Dec 23rd -2008
