    Up-close it looks more like a cast member of Mosters Inc. but he was discovered among the grasses near the BBQ. This Horned Tomato Worm was inching its way toward a lone tomato plant.

    Sipping the Camargue
    field_caption
    Just outside Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in Southern France, two Camargue horses share a peaceful drink. These horses traditionally roam wild through the wetlands and are born with dark coats that become gray and white as they grow older.

    Climbers On Rainier

    Climbers On Rainier
    field_caption
    This image captures almost 6 hours of climbing parties on Rainier going for the summit under starry skies. Wind shifts during the night would cause bands of smoke from fires 100 miles away on Mt Hood to pass over Rainier. This intermittent low level haze caused the red glow seen in the sky and a Rainier that looks like it was almost painted on. Lights from Sunrise can be seen in the lower right of the frame

    Kitesurf.
    field_caption
    An air bubble contorts and twists into a semicircle as a wave breaks in the background as it ascends from the ocean floor. Photographer Mark Tipple dove to the ocean floor and exhaled all his breath, then followed the bubbles to the surface. Captured as part of The Underwater Project. "Summer was fun, but winter was pretty slow. I tried to find a way to show life below the surface, without shooting fish and coral. The first bubble shots turned out pretty cool."
