Landslides are a grim fact of life in many areas with steep topography. They seem like the most natural thing in the world. But nothing about the Atami tragedy was natural. unconformity.net/rosetta-stones…

Yeah, so, somebody tried to climb the lava geyser. In this essay, I will provide video of the incident and explain why it was a no good, very bad, terrible, awful idea to climb up there. Just. Don't. Do. This. Ever. unconformity.net/rosetta-stones…

Lava devoured the hiking trail and has now overtopped the western defensive wall. It's making a run down the valley, has reached the ephemeral pond, and could hit the road soon if the flow doesn't slow! Exciting times. #eruption #lava #lceland

The moon was up over the Icelandic volcano last night. There's something utterly sublime about active volcanoes paired with heavenly bodies. #lceland #volcano #eruption #moon

Helicopters are flying close to the spatter cone in Iceland today. They almost appear to fly into the vent! #lceland #volcano #eruption

There is, in fact, a bird in this photo I shot in the general direction of rustling and chirping in the brushy trees. It's a remarkably clear bird, because my camera is able to see better than I can and understood what I was aiming for. I ♡ my camera. Can you spot it?

Are you ready for the cutest photo of a sparrow I've ever taken? I'm not saying there aren't cuter sparrow photos out there, but this is pretty darn adorbs . The birds along North Creek Trail are quality, folks. #birds #birdsofinstagram #sparrow #cute

Okay, now we're getting to some extremely awesome birds! This is a juvenile male Hooded merganser at the Monte Villa Pkwy pond. This is not an easy pond to photograph birds at, but a marvelous place to see them. #birds #birdsofinstagram #merganser #duck

Here's an odd couple on the 195th St. Pond: A Northern Shoveler and a Green-winged Teal. Probably discussing hybrid vigor and the travails of mating season. #birds #birdsofinstagram #duck #northernshoveler #greenwingedteal

The wings on these guys is positively angelic. Their attitude? Absolutely demonic. But we love 'em. #birds #birdsofinstagram #goose #wings

Look at this plump Canada goose with its tail sticking out of its fluffy bum like a cookie dipped in marshmallow fluff. The geese at North Creek are living pretty posh lives. They like apples, incidentally. #birds #birdsofinstagram #goose

Back to birds. I swear I will clear this backlog! Can we just talk about the colors on this mallard drake's back right now? Because they're splendid! Those blues and greens would give most peacocks envy. #birds #birdsofinstagram #duck #color

This was one of my triumphs at North Creek Trail up by 224th St. SE. Spotted Towhees are hard to spot! I heard this one before I saw it, and photographing it was a feat! So worth the effort, though. They're remarkable little things. #birds #birdsofinstagram #towhee #wildlife
