  • An extreme macro view — approximately five times magnification — renders the pappus of a common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) seed head as faint abstract lines against a backdrop of green grass.

  • Pegmatite, a light-colored granite, forms bright stripes on the otherwise dark walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. These stripes were found on the Painted Wall, an especially dramatic part of the national park and the highest cliff in all of Colorado. Pegmatite is the result of especially water-rich magma, which is the last to cool and harden. Because it remains fluid longer, it is able to squeeze into cracks in rocks, resulting in the light-colored lines here.

  • A common myna (Acridotheres tristis) rests on the frond of a coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) tree on the island of Maui, Hawai`i. The common myna, sometimes referred to as the Indian Myna or spelled mynah, is native to Asia, but is rapidly spreading its territory. Its native range spans southern Asia from Iran to Singapore, but the bird has since been introduced in many other parts of the world, including Australia, Hawaii, Canada, and islands in the Indian Ocean. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the myna one of the world's most invasive species.

  • Dead lodgepole pine trees cast shadows on the snow covering the Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Lodgepole pine trees have a very shallow root system that extends sideways, allowing them to grow in Yellowstone where there is only a thin layer of topsoil that contains few nutrients. These snags, however, are near an active hydrothermal area and they soaked up mineral-laden water.
