catch the storm
Not 5 minutes before, these clouds were dumping hail on Guenella Pass.
Green Spiral
This is part of the mixing of architecture and gardening at the McGovern Centennial Gardens in the museum district in Houston.
Southern Glow
The recent magnetic storm was strong enough to have lights showing strongly in the southern skies.
diorama
Alpine flowers and butterfly.
Frills
Summer annuals can provide a burst of color to a garden.
Skyrays
A strong burst of aurora spread rays down the western sky, so bright that I wondered if I might see my shadow.
Sun Dried
This anhinga was very relaxed as it dried its feathers after a dive.
Pastel Daisy
Saturated pastel colors are hard to capture with a camera, this is one of my better attempts.
Dramatic display
This pair of red wing blackbirds was very vocal as I canoed around a bog, and I soon found out they had a nest near by.
Noisy Neighbor
Bullfrogs form a noisy part of the summer chorus, making it easy to tell if they are near. Despite their large size and large voice they are often hard to spot, since their colors match their surroundings well.
