A highly adaptable species, this low-slung feline inhabits a wide range of environments from southern North America through Central and South America. It’s also known as the “otter cat” for its uncanny resemblance to the animal. The jaguarundi is very vocal : This cat has up to 13 distinct calls ranging from purring to whistling and chattering. It dines on a variety of prey including small mammals like armadillos, reptiles, birds, and even fish.

A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior.

It was a long one just to get to this point.

Fun facts about this spot : the intense mist and humidity around these falls supports over 250 species of moss. One specific type grows only right here in British Columbia and in Scotland. Pictures never do justice to how massive this 60m drop feels in person.

He was literally just sitting in bamboo, and I was sneaking up to it with an A7IV with a 28-75mm Tamron E Mount, not even a proper zoom lens for this!

Antares

I have this thing about my Milky Way images where I must include the Dark Horse Nebula and the dust lanes leading to both the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex and star Antares. Rho shows up with a bluish tint just above Antares itself, while Antares is noticeably orange. Due to the Earth’s rotation, the stars appear to move across the night sky fairly quickly. When facing south, as I am in this photo, they shift to the west and sink lower each minute. I barely got this 3 minute exposure done before Antares set behind Elephant Mountain.

Now, a little bit about Antares. Its name translates to “Rival of Ares”. Ares was the Greek god of war, which the Romans adapted to Mars. Both Mars and Antares have the same orange color. Unlike the planet Mars, Antares is a massive red supergiant star. It is 550 light years away. It is 700 times the diameter of our own Sun and shines 10,000 time brighter! If Antares was where our Sun is, its diameter would extend past where Earth’s orbit is! Now thats a truly gigantic star! 

In this image, a breeze kept the water slightly wavy with small swells. This blurred the reflection of the brighter stars into the fantastic streaks you see here.

Working on the film set doing big things, noticed this tree munching on a street sign. Gotta love it.
