Honey bees (Apis mellifera), drinking at an ephemeral travertine seep, in the Gould Mine Wash, Saguaro National Park, Arizona. Please click the photo to enlarge. I have spent too much time with the aquatic insect realm, and I am truly not very savvy regarding many terrestrial species. These bees were part of a large swarm. It was only after I got close enough for a clear shot that I (too late!) asked myself, “Could these be killer bees?” So many things in Arizona seem willing to jab or scratch or sting you. Luckily these turned out to be entirely calm and mild-mannered bees - the best kind for bumblers like me.

Welcome to Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, home to North America’s largest Cacti. The Giant Saguaro is the universal symbol of the American West. These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park, to the East and West of the modern City of Tucson. Here you have a chance to see these enormous cacti, silhouetted by the beauty of a magnificent desert sunset. Photo: Chris Summitt, National Park Service

Located in the heart of Dinosaur National Monument canyon country, Echo Park provides many opportunities to enjoy remarkable surroundings and discover Fremont petroglyphs. At night the sky is filled with a spectacular display of stars thanks to the lack of light pollution – making stargazing a must. Pictured here, the Milky Way fills the night sky along the Green River. Photo by Dan Duriscoe, National Park Service.

A beautiful photo of first light at Glacier National Park in Montana. Of the image, photographer Kevin LeFevre says: “While shooting the sunrise at Bowman Lake, we were graced with this meandering doe. I scrambled to change my camera settings to accommodate the movement and pulled off this solitary photo. A once in a lifetime.” While parts of Glacier are closed because of ‪‎Reynolds Creek Fire‬, most of the park remains open, including Bowman Lake area. Photo courtesy of Kevin LeFevre.
