We have Yasemin Kahraman to thank for this fantastic photograph of sparrows enjoying the rain in a field of wheat.

Pigeon Puzzle
I love how none of the shadows (or birds for that matter) are touching in this photograph by Alexei Bednij.

In the deep blue
This great photograph by Gil Gautier looks like it was taken on an alien world.

That’s a scene straight out of a Miyazaki flick. We have Alex Saberi to thank for this wonderful photograph. Cheers!

Toucan Barbet
Behold! The toucan barbet (semnornis ramphastinus)! It’s a highly social bird of the genus Semnornis that lacks strong sexual dimorphism in their plumage. That’s just a fancy way of saying both sexes have bright colors as opposed to just the males.

I’m talking about a little place called Aspen
I’m not sure if this picture was taken in Aspen but these certain are trees of the aspen variety.

The Northern Lights of Norway
These images are from two very talented Norwegian photographers: Ole C. Salomonsen and Øystein Lunde Ingvaldsen. If you’d like to see (lots) more be sure to check out their respective aurora-specific galleries here and here. If you want to see the northern lights in motion be sure to check out this video.
I’ve got to make a point to visit Norway to see these in person at some point before I die.
