Durian Fruit, vintage botanical illustration circa 1815. This beautiful fruit is renowned for it's strong aroma and unique flavor profile. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
Just like Deja vu! On my previous visit, I arrived early morning at Leonabelle Birding Center in Port Aransas, Texas, and shortly after a beautiful Green Heron landed on the handrail of the boardwalk. And the same thing this early June morning. It stretched its neck and gave a softer call than the normally harsh Kuk Kuk Kuk so perhaps calling its mate.

What is not to love about the clear turquoise water surrounding the island of Aruba! It's hard to tell that this beach was quite crowded in April. To my right it was full of people lounging in chairs under umbrellas while others were swimming and snorkeling.
Sea life abstraction in blue and yellow. Waves, shore, sand, fish, sea creatures, monsters, rivulets and splashes of water. Give this abstract a few moments of your time and see what you discover.
This view was from our cruise ship as we made our way to the Pier in Brooklyn. One World Trade Center (aka One WTC or Freedom Tower) is the main building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The building is 1,776 feet tall and opened in late 2014. The height of the building was done on purpose to refer to the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Walking back to the truck in the parking lot, I spotted this #Killdeer that had just landed at the edge of the sidewalk. I was able to get a few shots before it sat on the ground and exhibited a broken-wing distraction display....which they do when a nest is threatened. At that point, I walked away knowing there must have been a nest nearby.
Hawk In A Close Fly By by Debra Martz I watched this Red-shouldered Hawk from the edge of the road, taking a few photos as it searched the ground for prey. It then turned and looked directly into my eyes momentarily, then flew by extremely close as it moved to the opposite side of the road...I got back in the truck, left it to its hunting, and continued to Goose Island State Park in southern Texas for some more bird watching.
Check out this photograph / digital artwork that would look great framed and hanging on your wall in your home or office or produced on a variety of products.
A view down a Scottish Glen with low clouds over the mountains at the end of the valley.
I headed out for a morning walk at Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia during a light autumn rain last year. The trees sheltered me from most of it. The early morning light and fall colors were amazing!
