Every Sunset Is Precious! Leave a comment

Soft pastel clouds look inviting over the harsh landscape of Joshua Tree National Park. With the California desert stretching out for miles around you, this unique landscape is a place of wonder and contemplation. Marvel at the sky, explore the rock formations, but don’t try climbing the trees. Picture by Manish Mamtani. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 11/21/15.
J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge Leave a comment

Located in the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s barrier island Sanibel, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is part of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the United States. The refuge is world famous for its spectacular migratory bird populations — providing an important habitat to over 230 species of birds. The best months to visit for birding are December through March during low tide when the birds are feeding on the exposed mud flats.
