This is Cape Argulus, the southernmost point of Africa, where the Indian Ocean (left) and the Atlantic Ocean (right) meet. It is not as dramatic as the Cape of Good Hope, which is the southwestern most point of Africa. #Stunday

When you point a camera at them instead of a gun, they don’t mind, even when they have a day old calf to protect. #CapeBuffalo

The canola (rapeseed) fields in South Africa are intense in July

Waves breaking on rocks in Hermanus, South Africa, yesterday afternoon.

This is an unedited iPhone photo of Rattlesnake Canyon near Page Arizona. This canyon is more orange than blue, so I assume the blue tones are reflected from the sky? #BlueSkyMonday #slotcanyon #Arizona

For #stunday - this is Lake Misurina, in the Dolomites

This garden is a sedum roof. We installed it in early 2023 and it changes every summer. It is a drought-resistant, low maintenance, insulating, temperature-regulating, environmentally-friendly dream roof. Bees love it as much as I do. #Sedum #roof #Denmark

People in South Florida know that great egrets dine frequently in our grassy yards on treats of lizards, snakes, and song birds. It’s not just all about fish. #birds

Three pretty ponies sharing a beautiful morning with me, in Alp Grüm, Switzerland. The Bernina Express train stops at this tiny town, which has a restaurant/hotel and a few homes. This place can only be reached by rail or on foot. The railway is a UNESCO site. #Stunday #horses #landscapes

Dawn at the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina many years ago. It was well worth getting up at 3:30 am and driving on scary dirt roads in the rain to witness this exceptional beauty. For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Earth. #EastCoastKin #glacier #photography

I just learned about #FeatheredFriday. This osprey caught a nice fish and found the perfect tree stump on which to dine until the pesky mockingbird began to harass her. She had to relocate to save her tail feathers. #birds #Miami #EastCoastKin #photography
