Have you heard about the bird? #photography #naturebeauty #naturephotography

A snowy egret (Egretta thula) in the Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, San Francisco Bay. Note the green lore by the yes (yes I had to look this one up) apparently they can turn this shade during breeding season #birdphotography #birdphotographycommunity #naturephotography #Egret #naturebeauty #birdsofmastodon #Nikon #Z9 #Sigma #bird #birds #birdwatching #birding #nature #photography #DonEdwards #nikonphotgraphy

An all white bird with an orange black long beak walking in shallow water. There is a green area near the eyes

A snowy egret (Egretta thula) from my ride today fishing in the Don Edwards Wild Life Refuge. He was about 100 yards away. This was shot at 15fps so the total elapsed time from the first picture till his beak is out of the water with the fish is 3.25 seconds #birdphotography #Z9 #birdphotographycommunity #naturephotography #naturebeauty #birdsofmastodon #Nikon #Z9 #Sigma #bird #birds #birdwatching #birding #nature #photography #DonEdwards #nikonphotgraphy

A all white bird with a orange black beak and a green patch on its eyes is walking in shallow water. The graceful neck is extended in a s curve and its looking down at the water. The same bird is featured in all 4 shots
STRIKE the beak has plunged into the water and the eyes are no longer visible
The bird is now pulling its beak out of the water it is almost out
The tip of the beak has emerged from the water and a small sliver fish can be seen in the beak

I love hiking and walking the trails at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in south Texas. And this area is my very favorite with the beautiful Spanish Moss draping from the trees!

The White-Lined Sphinx (Hyles lineata) are often referred to as the hummingbird moth because of the bird-like size, 2.5 - 3.5 inch wingspan, and flight patterns. It behaves like a hummingbird as it can fly extremely fast and instantly swing from side to side while hovering . It is a species of Hawk Moth , therefore, another name is White-Lined Hawk Moth.

It behaves like a hummingbird as it can fly extremely fast and instantly swing from side to side while hovering as it is doing in this image.  I caught it in mid-air with wings folded upward and its elongated proboscis partially curled.  Photography by Debra Martz

There's beauty on the backside, too! The road to the summit of Signal Mountain twists and turns as it winds its way to the top for scenic views....but I kept seeing all the gorgeous thistles! Finally a place to stop and walk to the edge where the one looking away captured my attention during a summer trip to the Great Tetons National Park.

British Soldier lichen encased in ice.
The ice goes from the left top corner down to just above the middle of the photo.
It stops about a third from the right.
Inside the ice is the lichen with small red tops.

Fiddleheads birthing knowledge of centuries past prepare vigorously to unfurl yet into another season another decade another century.
How easy it is to write of strife and let it shadow the unsung intimate joys of life.
Sadly there is not one without the other.

Against the dark background in my garden a young green fern is in the process of unfurling from a beautiful spiral, the fern leaves themselves like fractals
Two green ferns in an area I keep protected for the ferns. Once larger or more of I may move where they thrive with others. You do not rush nature. Being that I putter - we fit.
Light shining on another Fern and I find them beautiful as they are tight when breaking through the soil and then unfurl to their own potential.
It is hard to see but it’s a fern with shell and dirt still on it as it seeks the promise of spring.

Lady In The Wind ©Debra Martz Probably the most amazing of all the formations in the Lower Antelope slot canyon in Arizona was this profile of a lady with her long hair blowing in the wind!
You descend on metal stairs and ladders then venture through the narrow, winding slot for a little over 1 mile and become mesmerized by the beauty created by erosion.

Photography of the beauty that erosion can create.  On a hike through the Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona the light from above gives orange and reddish color to the wall formations.  This particular one, Lady in the Wind, looks somewhat like the profile of a lady with long hair blowing back from the face.  Lower Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon which one descends into on metal stairs and ladders and walks on a sand surface through a narrow passage.
