The view from 500 feet when the helicopter pilot says " Do you want to see a lava pond? " and turns the door-less chopper over 90 degrees so there's nothing between you and Mother Earth except your seat harness. Happy Earth Day ! #. . . #Pu'u'o'o #hawaiivolcanoesnationalpark #GetOutside #Hawaii #lifeonearthwwim13 #wwim13 #natgeoearthday #natgeo #earthday #lava #geology #volcano

There's an old adage that the best camera is the one you have with you. In this case my Sony RX-100 point and shoot, a willing Double Crested Cormorant, and some great lighting. . . #bird #cormorant #magiclight #ucdavisarboretum #birdsofinstagram #wildlife #rx100
