EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Kenneth R Whitten, we are transported to the serene campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where nature's beauty unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases a remarkable moment between a Horned Grebe and its adorable chick as they gracefully glide through a tranquil pond. The Horned Grebe, scientifically known as Podiceps auritus, is an enchanting waterbird species found in Interior Alaska. With its distinctive horn-like tufts on either side of its head, this magnificent creature exudes elegance and grace. As it swims effortlessly across the glassy surface of the pond, its reflection creates a mesmerizing mirror image that adds depth to the composition. What makes this photograph truly heartwarming is the sight of a tiny chick perched securely on its parent's back. This endearing display highlights the strong bond between parent and offspring in nature's intricate tapestry. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast landscapes and grandeur surroundings, tender moments like these can be found if we take time to appreciate them. As summer envelops Alaska with warmth and vitality, this snapshot encapsulates both tranquility and life's eternal cycle. The vibrant colors reflect off the water's surface while lush greenery frames their journey—a testament to Mother Nature at her finest. Kenneth R Whitten has masterfully captured not only an extraordinary wildlife encounter but also an intimate glimpse into one corner of Alaska's breathtaking wilderness. Through his lens, he invites us to pause for just a moment longer—to marvel at the wonders surrounding us—and perhaps find solace in knowing that even within bustling campuses or busy lives lies an oasis where nature thrives harmoniously alongside human endeavors.
