  • An oak leaf leaves an impression in the ice covering a small pond in Snohomish County, Washington. The leaf fell on the pond after it froze and protected the ice immediately beneath it from sublimation, a natural process where ice transitions into vapor without turning to liquid first. This is the same process that causes a snow on a field to vanish during a prolonged cold spell. Reflections of trees surrounding the pond are visible around the edges of the leaf impression.

  • A male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) lands on a maple tree that is beginning to leaf out. Males in the Calypte genus of hummingbirds are quite distinctive with iridescent crowns. All hummingbirds, however, have iridescent plumage, which reflects certain wavelengths of light and reflects them directly in front of the bird. The bright flashes of color are visible only when the bird is facing you. Several features of the feathers result in the iridescence. Barbules, which are flat in most birds, are angled to form a V shape in hummingbirds. Also, the surface of the barbules is covered with microscopic discs containing tiny air bubbles that amplify certain colors of light and cancel out others.
