Whoa nice! Where did you take these?
Eilat, Coral beach nature reserve in the Red Sea. It's one of the best kept reefs in the world because it is northern and secluded so is less affected by global warming.

Neat!
Had a neat early morning hike today, and while I live in pretty mild area (wildlife wise) I was pleasantly surprised with Kestrels, Pheasants and one large Hare.
Also for the first time in my life I saw European Bee-Eaters and their earth nests. It was beautiful seeing their colors shine against rising sun.

Being in Miami and Fort Lauderdale this week has been a fun little adventure with both native and non native wildlife. I wasn’t aware there was a resident feral population of escaped parrots and parakeets here. Saw two orange-winged parrots on my walk this morning. The photo didn’t turn out at all as they took flight when I got close enough to catch them on camera. Hoping to see one of the 20 or so blue and gold macaws too! Northern curly Tailed lizards are all over the place. This one stayed perfectly still for me to get a nice shot.
Tomorrow I’m headed to Zoo Miami and I am STOKED!!!

The town we set out from was called Champoluc which is very close to Gran ParadisoLovely pictures
Dolomites, Gran Paradiso or someplace else?
I just flew back home from out west. I was visiting Zion National Park, and I came across a deer crossing the road in the town right outside the park gates.
I also came across another doe while walking the Emerald Pools trail. She had a tracking collar on.

Okay, I’m SO JEALOUS OF MY MOM!
My family and I are on vacation on the Gulf Coast of Florida. My mom has been getting up early to go for a walk along the coast for the last couple of days. This morning, she saw a BABY SEA TURTLE crawling to the ocean! Luckily, there were specialists on the job helping the turtle to the water.
