A Black Sand Beach On The Big Island Of Hawaii.

From a recent trip to Death Valley. Winter and early spring are great times to visit. Remarkable stars at night!

I turned to my left and said, “Hey, moose.” I didn’t hear a sound until I was right on it. I said to my friend, “Here’s a moose.” “What? Where?,” he replied. “Right there,” pointing about twenty feet away. We looked back to our guide for advice. He was quickly walking in the opposite direction. No worries. This one was a good boy.

The Water Protectors from Standing Rock lead the LA Climate March. 

The Wall from Game of Thrones? No. A stunning ice wall bordering a glacier in Alaska. These retreat more and more each year. One of the many threats brought on by climate change. 

Snow Flowers? I have never seen anything like this before. The temperature last night was 6 degrees. My daughter and I went for a hike around noon and the temperature was 27 degrees. I kept seeing these odd white shapes on the ground and initially thought it was trash. Finally, I knelt for a closer look and realized these were ice formations. Beautiful, delicate ice ribbons at the bottom of a certain plant - no other plant. All were found with about 10 - 15 feet of the same altitude. When we hiked up hill just a bit, there was nothing. They look as if a cake maker pipped them onto the base of the plant. So many curving layers, winding around as if windblown or somehow gently forced from the plant. Anyone have any idea how these are formed?

Sunset in California. Taken near Malibu. 

Some pics taken touring a recent photo trip to Kings Canyon National Park. Most people aren't aware of this stunning place. If you haven't, it is worth your time. #Resist #environment #conservation #forest #hiking #beautifulplaces #nature #photography #sony #sonya7riii
