  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) runs with a European rabbit (Oryctolagus cunuculus) it caught in the prairie of San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington. Both foxes and rabbits were introduced to San Juan Island. The rabbits were introduced to the island in the 1890s by settlers; foxes were introduced occasionally in the 1900s. The European rabbits in particular are considered an invasive species, turning the prairie into an unsustainable barren landscape with their vast burrows. This displaces small native mammals, such as the Townsend's vole. Seconds after this image was taken, a bald eagle attacked the fox to steal the rabbit.

  • The Milky Way is visible in the midnight sky over the eastern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington state. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system and is comprised of as many as 400 billion stars and 100 billion planets. Its name comes from the appearance of a band of stars that from Earth are so close together that they cannot be distinguished as individual stars with the naked eye. Mount Rainier, which has a summit of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), is the highest mountain in Washington state and largest volcano in the Cascade Range. This view was captured from Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park.

  • A variety of petroglyphs, including symbols depicting a hunter chasing a deer, are visible on a rock wall at Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument in San Juan County, Utah. The oldest symbols on the rock were made about 2,000 years ago by Archaic, Anasazi, Fremont, Navajo, Anglo and Pueblo people. The oldest petroglyphs on the sandstone appear to be fading, re-covered by desert varnish, a natural manganese-rich coating. In Navajo, the rock is called Tse' Hone, which means a rock that tells a story.

  • Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus var. consimilis) grows under a fiery sunrise at the edge of Mono Lake in Mono County, California. Mono Lake has no outlet, so salt accumulates and makes the water alkeline. Limestone columns called tufa towers are visible in the lake. Tufa towers form under water. They were exposed when Los Angeles diverted some of the fresh water that feeds the lake, causing the lake level to drop.

  • A raven flies past the Old Faithful geyser as it erupts in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. When Old Faithful erupts, it can launch as much as 8,400 gallons (32,000 liters) of boiling water as high as 185 feet (56 meters), although the average eruption height is 145 feet (44 meters). The time between eruptions is growing longer on average, possibly because earthquakes have affected underground water levels. The current interval is either 65 or 91 minutes depending on attributes of the prior eruption.
