Last Saturday at Ocala Natural Forest in Florida, as reported by WPTV Palm Beach:
Richard Jones told WFTV in Orlando that he and his family were walking along the Oklawaha River watching alligators when his son walked through palm fronds to get a good picture. Jones told WFTV that his son must have startled the raccoon, which he said then stumbled toward the water and hopped on top of the gator that was near the water’s edge.

Some of the world’s oldest living trees ((in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa) photographed against the backdrop of the night sky by Beth Moon, who sez:
The majority of these photographs were created during moonless nights, shot with a wide angle lens and ISO of 3200 – 6400. The Milky Way, a ribbon of stars that stretches from horizon to horizon burns brightly in some of the images. Exposures up to 30 seconds allowed enough light to enter the lens without noticeable star movement. Each location required a lot of experimenting. and different lighting techniques. Sometimes a short burst of diffused light from a flashlight was sufficient, or bounced light from multiple flashlights was used for a softer more natural glow.
