My View From The Helicopter Looking Back On Majestic Manhattan With Lady Liberty Standing Firm On Her

Brave is the bee, brave is the hand that holds it.

From my expedition to summit Africa's beautiful Mt. Kilimanjaro, this porter allows a bee to rest gently on his outstretched hand. I marveled at the man's patience and trust in this tiny creature.

Life In A Water Town

Idee Montijo, explorer photographer, takes you to the floating city of Belen where the Amazon River's annual floods drowns the streets.

What's life like for people living along the Amazon River in a town known as the Venice of South America? I invite you to visit my short travelogue of my time in Peru during the monsoon season.

True Romance

A plump Super Pink Moon rises, casting its warm glow over the cool Atlantic Ocean. This image reminds me that we each have our own beauty, and when we engage with another beautiful soul the results can be magnificent.

🌊🐢 **Turtle Power: Our Armor-Clad Allies** 🐢🌊

As the sun casts its golden rays upon the earth, let us not forget the silent voyagers of the blue - our ancient friends, the turtles. This World Turtle Day, let's dive deep into the importance of these magnificent creatures and their role in the tapestry of life.

Turtles, with their bony carapaces and wise eyes, have been navigating the waters and lands long before us. They are the custodians of marine health, the gardeners of our seabeds, and the storytellers of our planet's history.

Yet, they face threats from all fronts - from plastic pollution to habitat destruction. It's our duty to shield them as they have the earth, ensuring their tales continue for eons to come.

Join us in celebrating World Turtle Day by learning, sharing, and taking action. Let's create ripples of change that will turn into waves of conservation for our shelled companions.

📚 Learn about their plight.

🔄 Share their stories.

🛠 Take action to protect their habitats.

Together, we can ensure that turtles continue to thrive, not just survive. Let's make every day a World Turtle Day.

Valley Dusk

From the Sun Valley Sunset Collection by Idee Montijo.

That time of day as warm yellow daylight yields to twilight's cool blue tones, yet in wildfire season as smoke causes the light to fade from orange to gray, hazy smoke diffuses the ridgeline details. This image reminds me that we must clear the smoke to see what's truly in front of us. So.. let's clear the air on why we have such difficulty in beating climate change.
