The Approach

The Approach

A snowberry clearwing moth approaches a single blue dicks blossom in a meadow at Auburn, California. The clearwing moths are also called hummingbird moths for their rapid wing-rate, circular wing motion and the fact that they can fly in reverse like hummingbirds. This variety is "disguised" as a bumblebee, which tends to keep predators at a distance.

Snowberry clearwing moth: Hemaris diffinis; Blue Dicks: Dichelostemma capitatum

Misty Morning Commute

Misty Morning Commute

Crossing the very large Khao Laem reservoir in far-western Thailand, these people are making their way from the Mon (Hmong) village side to Sangkhlaburi. The woman sitting in the middle constantly bailed water out of the boat during the commute.

Sangkhlaburi is in Kanchanaburi province near Thailand’s border with Myanmar (Burma).

Perhaps a better way to view it is here.

Power Quakin'

Power Quakin'

Version 2, for John (WAXY POETIC) ;)

While attempting to photograph the autumn colors as the quaking aspens begin to change colors, the light breeze made certain that these mountain trees lived up to their namesake. It was as if they knew when I was planning to release the shutter and the leaves would start to dance (I think they snickered at me too ;).

Finally I said "okay, you win – have it your way", and I decided to try to capture their "quaking" instead.

**This is one of the more "vigorous" versions. A subdued "quaking" is here.

Autumn Windfall

Autumn Windfall

The quaking aspens in the High Sierra are fantastic any time, but they are particularly special in the fall. The white bark contrasts beautifully with the features of the forest understory.

Near Hope Valley, California. Elevation: 7,000 feet.

It can be viewed on gray here.
