thinking about that toni morrison quote that went to the effect of ‘you’re looking in your children’s face to make sure their face is clean and their hair is combed and they’re looking in your face to see love.’ because it’s saur true.

flamingos flying over tanzania’s lake natron, a salt lake which is home to three quarters of the world’s three million lesser flamingos, as well as toxic multicoloured extremophile cyanobacteria that thrive in water so hypersaline it would strip away human skin. for the flamingos, however, the tough skin and scales on their legs prevents burning, leaving them uniquely free to drink from the near boiling freshwater found from springs and geysers at the lake’s edges.  (x, x, x, x, x)

Iceland - Heimaey Island (2) (3) (4) by Mike Fitzpatrick

Via Flickr:

(1) A large colony of Atlantic Puffins breed on the grassy slopes above the sea cliffs on the Storhofdi peninsula at the south end of Heimaey Island. A small hut located halfway up the slope on the left side of the photo is a puffin viewing stand, where we will have an opportunity to see the birds up close. On gray cloudy days such as this, the birds are more likely to remain on shore rather than spend the day out at sea feeding, thus giving us the opportunity to see them in great numbers.
