Truth be told this was my first time photographing lava. I realized very quickly that some of the most unique perspectives come from moving slowly and exploring the freshly cooled rock along the base of the flow. The shapes, textures and cooling patterns create a million different ways to photograph this new earth being formed. Even the color of the rock can change pending the air temp, sun exposure and cooling time. Much of this rock is broken up into a million pieces as the surges of new magma and lava push through it and against it in almost a tidal wave effect. Making these art forms truly finite. Sometimes lasting forever.. but often only hours

Down the hatch! 🐦⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #EarthCapture by wossa_price⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The winter months can be particularly tough for a kingfisher. They need to eat around 16 minnows a day just to survive! Although fish make up the majority of their diet, throughout the rest of the year they can be seen feeding on many aquatic insects, including dragonfly nymphs and water beetles.⁣⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #bbcearth #bird #birdsofinstagram #ornithology #beautifulbirds #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #amazinganimals #nature #naturelovers #earth #earthlovers #kingfisher

Belted kingfishers, like this one in Arizona, can be found all over the continental US. Watch for them around bodies of water, where they perch until they see a fish, then dive headfirst into the water to grab their prey. Photo: Mick Thompson/CC https://t.co/a0uUZEhZoB https://t.co/BlHaUfGMZN
