National geographic: Your shot
National Geographic highlights the top photos from users in its ongoing gallery called Your Shot. Here are some of the best from this week.
Tree stumps along the shoreline of American Memorial Park in the island of Saipan. The park is getting smaller every day. Topsoil is being washed by waves. These stumps used to be beautiful pine trees. (Photo and caption courtesy Mamang Sorbetero/National Geographic Your Shot)
Instead of front legs, Vespa was born with little “chicken wings” that allow her to army crawl or hop, but only on soft grass or carpet. I wanted her world to be bigger, so I researched front wheels for dogs (she was not a candidate for prosthesis). I tracked down OrthoPets out of Denver, Colorado, a wonderful group that specializes in making animals more mobile, and there the door to that bigger world was immediately opened.

I was in a saltpan near the sea, among reeds and mud. Flamingos were walking disorderly, then arranged themselves one after the other, from the smallest to the biggest, turning gradually their heads. So I pressed the shutter button. (Photo and caption courtesy Susanna Di Stefano/National Geographic Your Shot)
This dear little humming bird came to drink, but when he stuck in his beak he pulled out a bee instead. Unfortunately the humming bird suffered a traumatic and sad ending. (Photo and caption courtesy April Dingman/National Geographic Your Shot)

With only a fixed lens on my Fuji X100, I was still able to get a decent shot of a resident snow monkey bathing with her infant at Yudanaka's snow monkey park, near Nagano, Japan. Although heavily photographed the monkeys appear fairly wild and have adopted a daily ritual of bathing in the hot springs. We were lucky to see them on a very quiet, surreal and snowy day in late spring. (Photo and caption courtesy Tyron Breytenbach/National Geographic Your Shot)
