Chasing Waterfalls

Waterfalls - those hidden sites where Earth's jagged landscape is no barrier to rushing water's journey to its final destination. Be the water, take the plunge, go #relentless 🌊

When was the last time you took a dip in "wild water"?

My Float Space

Am I #shark bait here?? Coolness settles into my wetsuit as I snap photos of our #survey team's boat activities. I can't help taking a moment to appreciate that my office today is the crisp clear and ultra-salty water of Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌊🐢 **Turtle Power: Our Armor-Clad Allies** 🐢🌊

As the sun casts its golden rays upon the earth, let us not forget the silent voyagers of the blue - our ancient friends, the turtles. This World Turtle Day, let's dive deep into the importance of these magnificent creatures and their role in the tapestry of life.

Turtles, with their bony carapaces and wise eyes, have been navigating the waters and lands long before us. They are the custodians of marine health, the gardeners of our seabeds, and the storytellers of our planet's history.

Yet, they face threats from all fronts - from plastic pollution to habitat destruction. It's our duty to shield them as they have the earth, ensuring their tales continue for eons to come.

Join us in celebrating World Turtle Day by learning, sharing, and taking action. Let's create ripples of change that will turn into waves of conservation for our shelled companions.

📚 Learn about their plight.

🔄 Share their stories.

🛠 Take action to protect their habitats.

Together, we can ensure that turtles continue to thrive, not just survive. Let's make every day a World Turtle Day.

Portrait of a Primate

Image by @idee-montijo. Tanzania, Africa.

My image collections are full of primate facial expressions, and this expression of what I perceive as calm and curiosity is among my favorites.

What do you see in this expression?

Feel free to visit featured collections at Idee Explores and field videos on my new "Idee Montijo" YouTube channel! 🐒

One year ago today, you crossed the rainbow bridge. And I still miss you.

While marking Summer Solstice as the longest day of the year, #Canadians brilliantly also honor #Indigenous Peoples Day, so today along with the #Solstice I also #celebrate the Matis Tribe of Brazil’s #Amazon region!

Photo by @idee_explores |  It's a hazy day in Sun Valley as smoke from California wildfires thicken the air, fading sunlight to a dull amber hue. Anticipating the deeply filtered light, I take the 4x4 to the highest point on Galena Pass. And I wait. . Gathering rain clouds pass gently northward as the sun falls in the west. The last of the trailing clouds slip by revealing the brilliant sun, heavily filtered in smoky haze. . Through my unfiltered camera lens, a perfectly round sun, surrounded by a moisture halo, sets suspended particles aglow as thicker smoke layers take on purple tones. I feel a certain tragedy in this beauty. So much loss for this momentary vision of brilliant color. .
