“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.

The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

State biologists on Wednesday confirmed the existence of 2 #CougarCubs on private land in Ontonagon County in the western #UP. The spotted cubs, believed to be 7–9 weeks old, were verified from photographic evidence of the cubs taken March 6 by a local resident.

Yosemite Falls Winter Fury Yosemite National Park This scene captures the raw power and majestic beauty of one of America’s most iconic waterfalls in the heart of winter. Towering above the snow-covered valley, Yosemite Falls roars with untamed energy as icy winds whip through the granite cliffs. Mist rises from the crashing waters, merging with the cold mountain air to create an ethereal veil of motion and texture. The stark contrast between the deep, rugged rock face and the pristine white snow enhances the dramatic scene, embodying both the serene stillness and the relentless force of nature. This breathtaking image invites the viewer to experience the awe-inspiring grandeur of Yosemite in its most powerful and unforgiving season. Yosemite Falls – The Crown Jewel of Yosemite National Park Yosemite Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, is a breathtaking natural wonder in Yosemite National Park, California. Plunging a total of 2,425 feet (739 meters) from the towering granite cliffs, it is composed of three sections: Upper Yosemite Fall, the Middle Cascades, and Lower Yosemite Fall.

Sunset View Point The Roussanou Monastery Meteora Greece At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest. My shots of the evening of changing light painting the landscape in shifting hues of rose and orange sunset at Meteora was a once-in-a-life-time experience. A perfect end of the day with a stunning sunset at Psaropetra sunset view point in Meteora. The Roussanou Monastery, perched on one of the stunning rock pillars of Meteora in Greece, is a breathtaking testament to the harmonious blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity. Established in the 16th century and dedicated to Saint Barbara, this monastery is one of the six active monasteries in the Meteora complex. Its strategic position atop a narrow rock pinnacle offers not only a serene retreat for its nuns but also panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, filled with rugged cliffs and verdant valleys.

Badlands National Park South Dakota BW The National Park Services says this... The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world's richest fossil beds. Ancient mammals such as the rhino, horse, and saber-toothed cat once roamed here. The park's 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today. And this is all true, but I think it is even more. It is a place where you can experience the beauty and peace of creation in an almost completely unspoiled way. The way to experience it more deeply like this is to stay in and around the park for an extended period of time. Stay in the park or in nearby Wall Drug then go into the park and go to a very quiet place and just be. Maybe walk silently and just see and feel the space. It feels like you might be very close to heaven. One very odd thing to know is that This park is very close to the Rosebud Indian reservation and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (Do you remember Wounded Knee). This is one of the poorest places in the entire country.

Hiking Wilcox Pass – Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada Wilcox Pass is one of the most breathtaking hikes in Jasper National Park, offering panoramic views of the Columbia Icefield and surrounding peaks. This moderate trail, approximately 8 km (5 miles) round trip, starts near the Wilcox Creek Campground on the Icefields Parkway. The hike begins in a subalpine forest, gradually ascending through meadows that burst with wildflowers in summer. As you climb, the trees thin out, revealing expansive views of the Athabasca Glacier and the towering peaks of Mount Athabasca and Mount Andromeda. One of the highlights is encountering the iconic red Adirondack chairs, strategically placed to let hikers soak in the view. At the pass, hikers are rewarded with a vast, open alpine landscape where bighorn sheep are commonly spotted. The area’s history adds another layer of intrigue—Wilcox Pass was once used by Indigenous peoples and early explorers as a vital travel route.
