- This beautiful cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), a protective mother of five, watches cautiously from atop a termite mound as two lions slowly approach her family through African grasslands. She stands ready to protect her young cubs...at any cost.

- Trees and the Blue Pond
- field_caption
- This pond locates in a small town in a north island, Japan. The trees standing from the pond are sapless white birch. The blue color of this pond is natural; ingredients from a hot spring are thought to be the cause of this color, and the color changes according to the season, weather and time. I took this photo in the early morning in June, this year.

- Fury of the Sea
- field_caption
- I had my first visit to Oregon coast this summer. I was standing on a sea rock in a morning during high tide trying capture some shots of the crashing wave. The water level were getting higher and higher and I realized the whole area would soon be immersed. It was my first time facing and feeling the fury of the sea at such close distance. For millions of years, human beings have been living on this planet and feeling the power of mother nature.
