Hummingbird Moonrise brings the Murder, Tea & Crystals trilogy to a satisfying close, weaving folklore, witchcraft, and family ties into a mystery that’s equal parts heart and suspense. Arista’s growing strength and Auntie’s sharp humor ground the story’s supernatural tension, while Dodd’s lyrical prose and steady pacing make this a “cozy thriller” that’s as comforting as it is compelling.
It’s a celebration of curiosity — of countries we know by heart and those we might never reach, but can visit here, one breathtaking image at a time.
The Photographs rekindles that same sense of wonder, distilled into one breathtaking collection. Across more than 250 images, National Geographic’s legendary photographers remind us what it means to see — truly see — our planet and ourselves

I had to resist the urge to run my hand along my screen. You just want to pat a gorgeous fish like that! The color is almost too much to resist.
When I grow up, my house is gonna have a fish pond. Never mind that I live in the Great White North: we’ll bring ’em in in winter! I’m sure the dog will just love to have new fish-friends.
what a beautiful koi!
Beautiful shot! I had a similar one a couple of weeks ago that I used for a Wordless. If I’d known this theme was coming up I’d have saved it. But since i didn’t I’m glad you had this one!
Nicely done…
i enjoy seeing the ripples in the water preceding the fish as it moves about.
but watch out for herons. my sister and her neighbours in Bracebridge, Ontario are losing their fish very quickly as the big birds prepare for migration.
cheers,

Oh, nice caution, gord. I didn’t know that. And it would be a real shame to lose these fantastic creatures. I could watch koi swim around for hours.

We used to have an aguarium when my boys were small, I used to love to watch the fish swimming around… it’s very calming.
A super photo….. I enjoyed.
