Totem poles are not merely decorative works of art

Totem poles are not merely decorative works of art and craftsmanship. They stand as storytelling monuments. The stunning totems of the indigenous Tlingit in Sitka, Alaska bear witness to clan identity, spiritual beliefs, folklore, and historical memory. #sitkanationalhistoricalpark #alaska #tlingit #indigenouspeople #totems

An Anna’s hummingbird at the fascinating bird band

An Anna’s hummingbird at the fascinating bird banding demonstration, Sedona Hummingbird Festival. After examining, weighing, measuring and recording other data, master banders apply a tiny, uniquely numbered band weighing six ten thousandths of a gram. Then the handler gently places the bird in the open palm of a fortunate attendee, where it prepares to fly away. #sedonahummingbirdfestival #hummingbirdbanding #anna’shummingbird @coloradomasterbander
