The Moon rises over the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The vast landscapes of GSENM offers visitors a variety of recreational opportunities for a wide range of users. From the solitude of lonesome canyons to the excitement of winding rugged backways, the Monument is truely a treasure.
Thanks to the Bureau of Land Management for sharing this great photo by Bob Wick!

Biscayne National Park is home to one of the coolest dads in the animal kingdom, the yellowhead jawfish. After the female lays her eggs and the male fertilizes them, the dad will take the eggs in his mouth for safekeeping. During the time it takes for the eggs to mature, dad doesn’t eat, but he does roll the eggs around in his mouth to keep them aerated until they’re ready to hatch. After 10-14 days, tiny baby jawfish pop out of the eggs.
Thanks to Ned DeLoach for the great photo!
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there! We hope you are able to spend a little time in America’s great outdoors today.

Photographer Jacob W. Frank was at Great Sand Dunes National Park on June 1 when the Aurora Borealis appeared and he captured this breathtaking image. Bursts of the Northern Lights do occasionally appear this far south, but it is rare.
A view rarely seen by anyone. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell stands ABOVE the top of the Washington Monument. The Secretary received an update on the repairs needed following the August 2011 earthquake and took a tour up to the top earlier this month.
During the same trip, photographer Tami A. Heilemann was able to snap unique photos of the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and view of the National Mall and U.S. Capitol Building.
