October issue of #thesmithsonian - Saddle Up with America’s Forgotten Cowboy Poet. Pictured, is Badger Clark in the summer of 1940. #thecowboypoet - Ballad of the forgotten life and indelible verse of a man known to many as “Anonymous”. South Dakota’s first #poetlaureate lived much of his life alone in a prim cabin in the heart of #custerstatepark . He wore whipcord breeches and polished riding boots, a #windsortie and an officer’s jacket. He fed the deer flapjacks from his window in the mornings, paid $10 a year in ground rent and denounced consumerism at every turn. “Lord, how I pity a man with a steady job,” he wrote in his diary in 1941. #lifeintheunitedstates #thesmithsonianmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK5schFR6Y/?igshid=1qebfvcf7zww6

 A few of the pictures I took of the tourmaline in The Smithsonian.

This is a HUGE crystal and a HIGH grade as well, as rare as can be.

It's was pretty unexpected/exciting when a representative from @dkbooks contacted me about licensing one of my images of a giant Kauri Tree from our trip to New Zealand, but to actually see the finished 'Natural Wonders of the World' coffee table book (in association with @smithsonian ), I'm totally flabbergasted. Not only is it massive, but a gorgeous and comprehensive guide to this planet's most amazing places. #thankful . #coffeetablebooks #coffeetablebook #naturalwonders #naturalwondersoftheworld #dkbooks #smithsonian #thesmithsonian #kauritree #waipoua #waipouaforest #amonggiants #publishedphotographer #published #honoured (at Waipoua Forest)

This impressive specimen is an impressive example of an ebalite tourmaline crystal formation called The Steamboat. It was found in San Diego County California in the Toumaline King mine at the beginning of the 20th century. The crystal itself was formed about 100 million years ago. #thesteamboat #toumaline #thesmithsonian #tresorsdujour (at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History)
