The sunflower an annual plant is native to the Americas. The flower petals within the sunflower’s cluster are always in a spiral pattern. Generally, each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5 degrees, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals, where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. This pattern produces the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head.

Sunrise in the Najd
Sunrise in the Najd, or “highland,” the central region of the Arabian Peninsula.
The dromedary camel walks moving both legs on one side then the other while its body rolls side to side. This seesaw movement can cause a storage bag to rub against the camels body developing a hole. As best I can tell this is what most likely took place on one of the caravans crossing the Arabian desert.
Numerous caravan routes criss crossed Arabia. This image is of one traversing the Najd in central Saudi Arabia. Along this ancient trade route a hole wore into a bag carrying iris bulbs. The seesaw movement of the camel deposited bulbs along the desert floor. Wind blew sand over the bulbs and they lay dormant until in the spring the winter rains enable the iris to bloom.

Gift of the Caravans
Kazakhstan is dotted with 48,000 lakes, many small like this mirror-surfaced one at Ush-Konyr near Fabrichny
Lake Ush-Konyr is a one of my favorite places with no power lines in sight, silent and serene. Kazakhs consider lakes the eyes of the sky.
Kazakhstan is a place of irony. Some of the worst man-made disasters; Aral Sea and Polygon have occurred in Kazakhstan. Some of the most beautiful and pristine places on earth are to be found in Kazakhstan.

Eyes of the Sky
Secretary blenny (Acanthemblemaria maria). Blennies take up residence in tiny abandoned holes in coral. Most secretive, they spend most of their time hiding inside or cautiously venturing to the opening of their coral home. They are tiny usually less than 8 cm. long. Bonaire
I saw this blenny dart into a small hole in the coral head. Slowly I approached and sat my camera’s down on the ocean floor, slowed my breath and waited. Over the next forty minutes I mainly did nothing but watched and waited. The blenny would peak it’s head out of the hole and dart back inside. I kept repeating the same idea over and over in my mind…” I don’t want to hurt you, you’re wonderful, I just want to make a picture”. The blenny started to stay out longer. Gently I picked up my camera waited for the blenny to come out and stay, when it did I made one exposure, the one you’re looking at.

MONSTERA
Ordinary plant in my front yard.
I’d like to share this image with you as a way of celebrating the ordinary. This plant grows in my front yard. It can be purchased in any nursery. I like its formal name, Monstera deliciosa, the plant book says, “name unexplained,” love that. You might know it as Dieffenbachia or philodendron, it’s a member of the Araceae family.
There’s so much beauty all around us, enjoy. Wayne
