Good Planets, Dec. 23

Marc lives in Australia, on the Island of Tasmania. He got this sunset from his home in South Arm.




From Tree comes this gorgeous butterfly:



And also, from Tree, this lovely orchid:




Pam, of Tortise Trail sent this image of Mt. Robson, which is the highest point in BC:



Comandante Agi sent this image of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia, Argentina, taken from a plane as they were coming in for a landing:



In September, I was in Australia again, and took this of the Great Ocean Road - The Twelve Apostles. There is no image that can really capture the wildness of this coast, nor the power of the Southern Ocean, but there are only about nine of these structures left as wind and water erode the fragile limestone:



Robin Andrea sent this image of hungry birds. She says "I don't know if it captures the number of birds that were perched on the winter-dead stems of last summer's flowers. I was surprised to see all of them. I think there may still be a few seeds left, and
these birds seemed quite content to look for them."




Mary, from Get Your Own sent these Buffalo and a Prairie Dog in Oklahoma. Okay, I'm not a rancher, so I get to think those Prairie Dogs are adorable.





SB Gypsy sent this of a Japanese Garden



and this of the Mill Pond in Sturbridge Village, Massachussetts, from the Western Shore:




Frederick sent this image of one of the many grottos along the coastline of the Island of Capri:
