Albatrosses can stay airborne for several months at a time!



The wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) is an oceanic bird that flies low over the sea's surface, scooping up prey such as squid, fish, and other marine animals. The wanderingalbatross, a name that aptly describes it's long travels, is well-adapted to lengthy, continous flight.

The wandering albatross has a wingspan of up to 11 feet, the widest wingspan of any bird. The bird's expansive wings enable it to glide efficiently through the air, spending at times several months airborne. The albatross' bill is well-suited for capturing fish and other creatures from the water, with a hooked tip and razor-like edges. Unlike most other birds, the albatross' nostrils are small tubes located on the upper sides of their bill (instead of fused nostrils at the top of the bill).

Horsetail Fall is seasonal waterfall that flows in winter and early spring in Yosemite National Park of California. every year during the last two weeks of February as the sun sets behind the horizon line and everything begin to go dark, sunlight will hit and reflect off the falls at the exact right angle creating a spectacular albeit short lived effect, which looks like a beautiful lava fall

The River of Five Colors!

River_of_Five_Colors.jpg

In Colombia, Rio Cano Castales, or the ‘river of five colors’, is a special place where for a brief period of time every year when the conditions are just right, the river explodes with vibrant colors your eyes won’t believe. During the short span between the wet and dry season, when the water level is just right, a unique species of plant that lines the river floor called Macaroni clavigera turns a brilliant red. It is offset by splotches of yellow and green sand, blue water, and countless shades in between
