Nature the Sculptress by Stacey Hatton

Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand, September 2007. We got lucky and had perfect weather with plenty of sunlight. I would call this photo a good example of my passion for interesting shapes, particularly those made by nature. © Stacey Hatton: Please do not use this image in any way without prior permission This piece has been submitted for use in the Bubblemania group.
Pure by Benjamin Scheurer

I took this picture on the steepest island of the world…La Palma (canarian islands). Although it’s the steepest island of the world it’s very rare that it’s snowy on top of the biggest vulcanic mountain. / It was a lucky week so I drove all the way up to the “Roche De Los Muchachos”>>> / (3000 metres high). Shortly before I reached the top a little cave caught my attention. / I went inside and discovered beautiful, thick icicles. The energy there was incredible….it felt pure….above the clouds…elements. check what the product looks like here thank you for stopping by!

Recent Work

Mother and Son by David Friederich

I was so moved by how this doe and her adolescent son showed affection for one another during the several hours I observed them, capturing this pic during that time. They are mule deer, the deer species and subspecies that inhabit Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast.
Stay Away From My Nest by Kathryn J Miller

Again the hawk was circling around me warning me not to get too close to the nest and its hawk babies. This was taken in the Snohomish Valley, in western Washington near Puget Sound. I took this photo on May 10, 2008 at 3:38 PM. I used a shutter speed of 1/160, ISO of 100, and f/6.30
Look! Over There ! On the Left! by jacqi

Ocean Storm by Kathryn J Miller

This photo was taken on January 22, 2008 at Long Beach, Washington. I used an ISO of 400, shutter speed of 1/50 and f/4.3. This was a very rainy and stormy day on the Pacific Ocean.
THE SECERATARYBIRD - Saggitarius serpentarius by mags

LOCATION CAPTURED: “THE KRUGER NATIONAL PARK” , South Africa, close to Satara Restcamp. / /
Portrait of a Diving Bird by David Friederich

I captured this image in the Fraser River estuary just south of Vancouver, Canada, where cormorants feed mainly on bottom fish. These are salt water fish, because the tide pushes salt water into the river. The cormorants are very skillful fishers, often surfacing from a dive with a fish in their beaks. This bird is called a double-crested cormorant.

Family by David Friederich

Mule Deer and a subspecies are the deer that inhabit Vancouver Island. They are smaller than their mainland counterparts, as though they have adapted to living on an island. I captured this image in the green belt that straddles Willow Creek. Deer and other wildlife, including cougars that prey on these deer use this green belt as a corridor between the beach and the mountains. As I observed these peaceful and beautiful animals, I was struck how affectionate they were to one another, and particularly how the male fawn was with his mother. The female doe is in the centre, her daughter behind her, and on the right of the picture, the male fawn “kissing his mom”.
Work Ethic by David Friederich

This female rufous hummingbird is collecting material to build her little nest. I saw how hard she worked, and how focussed she was on her goal during the several hours I was privileged to witness this scene. I wanted to portray her tiny size within the cattails. I made this image with a Nikon D2Xs and 200-400 mm lens with a 1.7 TC on a monopod between Campbell River and Courtenay on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Snapper Tails by SauriaMami

This tail belongs to a female snapping turtle….. / Found in shallow ponds, lakes, or streams, snapping turtles are omnivores, eating both plant and animals including invertebrates, fish, frogs, reptiles (including snakes and smaller turtles), unwary birds and small mammals. Snappers will travel far overland to reach new habitat or to lay eggs. Pollution, habitat destruction, food scarcity, overcrowding and other factors will drive snappers to move overland.The female can hold sperm for several seasons, utilizing it as necessary. Females travel over land to find sandy soil in which to lay their eggs, often some distance from the water. After digging a hole, the female typically deposits 25 to 80 eggs each year. Durring cooler weather the eggs will hatch in the following spring. This gravid female I photographed was climbing up a waterfall at the West Bend National Park looking for a good location to lay her eggs. When she saw me she ducked her head down into the water…figuring…if I couldn’t see her face? I couldnt’ see HER. Didn’t work. Weighing up to 75pounds and living over 40 years….these are the same turtles that bite the toes and fingers off idiots who go into water areas and stick their feet under and fingers under rocks looking for catfish.
Waterfall Claws by SauriaMami

This gravid female snapping turtle…....was making her way carefully up a waterfall in the creek of West Bend State Park. She’d already traveled almost half a mile from her origin of the Missouri River. If she was lucky she’ll have found a wonderful sandy area to lay up to 40 eggs that would hatch before fall. Not a terribly aggresive turtle…they can be quick to bite however when feeling threatened. Luckily this one wasn’t. She just ducked her head into the water while I photographed her then removed a large leech off of her hind leg.
