BADAB-E SURT - In this natural site, located in northern part of Iran in Mazandaran province, the stream of two different mineral springs have formed a natural stepped travertine terrace over thousands of years. What makes this natural phenomenon unique among the other similar places on earth is the reddish orange color of these terraces due to the existence of a large amount of iron carbonate in the water of one of the springs.

From a simple material, Kendra Haste brings us face-to-face with striking sculptures of wild animals. “I try to capture the living, breathing model in a static 3D form and convey its emotional essence without slipping into sentimentality or anthropomorphism," she says.

Stonechat. Finished wood engraving, first test print, which I'm very pleased with and the photo that the engraving is based on, taken on one of our regular walks on Ilkley Moor.

#birds #NaturalHistory #nature #art #PrintMaking #WoodEngraving

100x100mm lemonwood block engraved with a stonechat perched on a young, growing and unfurling, bracken frond, with a foreground of bracken and other plants, receding through shrubs along a path to a stile in a drystone wall, with more moorland beyond. The bird locks inquisitively at me. An engraving tool and a pencil are included for scale.

I came across with this picturesque scenery at the Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm in Sequim, Washington on our road trip few days ago. I really liked the quaint metal table and chairs positioned at the edge of this lovely lavender field with wavelike display, creating a serene outdoor seating area as purple and green hues blended harmoniously, offering a calming rural scene.

Golden rays of sunlight burst through scattered clouds, creating a dramatic sky over the silhouetted landscape of trees and houses of Bellevue, Washington with the Olympic Mountains in the background.
The blend of dark clouds and vibrant sunlight creates a stunning contrast, evoking a sense of calm and awe.

The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜

Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.

A kea, New Zealand’s native alpine parrot, stands in the foreground on a ledge. Its feathers are olive green with hints of orange and teal, and it’s facing sideways against a dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains and rocky alpine terrain near Otira.

Oh, sleepy summer day. I don't really feel like being busy and efficient, powering through like a machine to keep the profits up for those corporations who tap into my energy and time.

Nature's lazing about in the heat, resting, keeping cool in the heat.

I think I'll let her by my "Influencer" today.

Pt Reyes National Seashore

“A sweeping view of Pt. Reyes National Seashore, where rugged cliffs meet the quiet rhythm of the Pacific. Soft light and natural textures create a timeless coastal mood, offering a serene, contemplative piece perfect for collectors drawn to California’s wild beauty.”

https://pixels.com/featured/pt-reyes-national-seashore-bill-gallagher.html

#PtReyesNationalSeashore #BillGallagherPhotography #PacificOcean #RockyShoreline #SandyBeach #PtReyes #NationalSeashore #Nature #CaliforniaLandscapes #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt

Pt Reyes National Seashore

The coastline stretches out in sweeping curves, where rugged cliffs plunge toward a restless Pacific. Sunlight washes the scene in a soft, golden haze, warming the pale grasses that ripple like brushed velvet along the bluff. Below, the ocean unfurls in layered blues—deep, cool, and rhythmic—its waves curling into white ribbons that hiss against the sand.

The air feels crisp and salted, as if carried straight from the open sea. The cliffs hold a quiet strength, their earthy tones grounding the wild expanse around them. Far off, the shoreline fades into a misty horizon, giving the whole scene a sense of vastness and solitude. It’s a place where wind, water, and land speak in long, unbroken lines—inviting you to breathe deeper and linger in its calm, untamed beauty.

Birds are amazing. But considering how much of my life I've spent watching and studying them, I've thought surprisingly little about just how incredible feathers are. Talking to engineers who still can't build anything to match a feather gave me a whole new understanding and appreciation for these absolute marvels of evolution.

My latest for Smithsonian magazine:
