In today's selection of the best photos from National Geographic for April 09-15 - animals and birds, landscapes and people - all the most amazing and beautiful that surrounds you and me.

09 april

The tidal currents in the Baja California (Mexico) desert look very picturesque from the side, as their pattern resembles branchy spreading "trees". The desert is located below sea level, and the tides reach several meters, therefore, pools are formed, through which, at low tide, seawater goes back into the ocean.

April 10th

The royal heron, or as it is also called, the whale glav, is a strange species of bird that lives in Uganda. You can meet a whale head in the swamps, and those who have ever seen her understand why the bird got such a nickname: you just have to look at the shape of its beak.

April 11th

Thunderstorm clouds look picturesque over Saskatchewan, a province in the south of central Canada. Literally a moment before the heavy downpour began, the photographer managed to take this momentous picture.

12th of April

The Mojave, a desert in the southwestern United States of America, is called the second Sahara. The Mojave National Park and Joshua Tree National Park are located on the territory of the desert, as well as the lowest and hottest place in North America - Death Valley National Park.

13 april

The fishermen in Thailand have a very difficult and stressful job. Every day, at sunrise, they go out to sea for a catch, and return when the sun has almost set below the horizon. They fasten fishing nets to their boats so as to drag a rich catch with them.

14th of April

Red Cliffs of Vermilion Cliffs, Arizona tourist attraction. These picturesque petrified dunes are the most famous landforms in the United States. Flash floods, which at one time passed through the petrified dunes, revealed iron-rich bands that can be seen in the picture.

April 15

This alligator was photographed by the photographer on the Myakka River in California. At that time, there was no rain in the river valley for a long time, and its bed almost dried up completely. Taking advantage of this, as well as the fact that the alligator was busy hunting for fish, the author of the picture managed to capture a dangerous predator.
