Je n'ai pas besoin de me marier. J'ai trois animaux à la maison qui remplissent le même rôle qu'un mari. J'ai un chien qui grogne le matin, un perroquet qui jure l'après-midi et un chat qui rentre tard dans la nuit.

I don't need to get married. Three animals at home fulfill that husband role. My dog who growls in the morning, my parrot who swears in the afternoon, and my cat who comes back late into the night.

Depuis l'invention du phonographe et du gramophone, le perroquet est devenu un volatile dont le besoin ne se fait plus aucunement sentir.
Alphonse Allais
Since the invention of the gramophone, the parrot became a bird which is not needed any more.

Ara ararauna (Blue and Gold Macaw, Blue and Yellow Macaw)
Longueur totale : 85 cm. Envergure des ailes : 50 cm. Poids adulte : 850 g
Distribution : Amérique centrale et du Sud: du Panama au nord du Paraguay.
Ils sont encore assez commun dans certaines régions : forêts tropicales, savanes, zones découvertes, marais et abords de l'eau. Ils nichent dans des trous de palmiers secs.
Ils vivent toujours en couple ou en bande. Les couples restent formés à l'intérieur des bandes, même en vol. Le mâle est dominant. Il peut se montrer extrêmement protecteur et donc agressif pendant la reproduction. L'Ara Ararauna est un perroquet monogame, très fidèle. Lorsque le couple s'est formé, il demeure très uni jusqu'à ce qu'un des deux disparaisse. Ils passent leur temps à se becqueter comme pour témoigner de leur affection l'un envers l'autre.
Ils sont granivores, herbivores et frugivores. L' Ara n'a pas d'odorat. Il est gaucher ou droitier. Pour manger, il développe une préférence pour l'une ou l'autre de ses pattes.
Ce sont des oiseaux très affectueux et très intelligents qui apprennent extraordinairement bien à imiter et à parler.
L' Ara n'a pas beaucoup de prédateurs mis à part quelques félins et rapaces diurnes (Aigle huppé, Harpie féroce, Spizaète orné) mais son principal ennemi est sans aucun doute l'homme qui détruit la forêt tropicale.
L'exportation du perroquet est illégale. Pour chaque Ara exporté qui arrive vivant, cinq vont mourir.
Ara ararauna (Blue and Gold Macaw, Blue and Yellow Macaw)
Overall length: 85 cm. Span of the wings: 50 cm. Adult weight: 850 G
Distribution: Central America and South America: from Panama to the north of Paraguay. They are still rather common in certain areas: tropical forests, savannas, discovered zones, marsh and accesses of water. They nest in holes of dry palm trees.
They always live in couple or band. The couples remain formed inside the bands, even in flight. The male is dominating. It can thus be shown extremely protective and aggressive during the reproduction. The Macaw Ararauna is a parrot monogamist, very faithful. When the couple is formed, it remains very plain until one of both disappears. They spend their time caress each other with the beak to testify their affection one towards the other.
They are granivorous, herbivorous and frugivorous. The Macaw does not have sense of smell. It is left-handed or right-handed . To eat, it develops a preference for one or the other of its legs.
They are very affectionate and very intelligent birds wich learn extraordinarily well how to imitate and how to speak.
The Macaw has not many predatory besides some cat-like and diurnal raptors (crested Eagle, wild Harpy, decorated Spizaète) but its principal enemy is without any doubt the man who destroys the tropical forest.
The export of the parrot is illegal. For each exported Macaw which arrives alive, five will die.

"In my silver ship I sail
a dream that ended to soon
now I know exactly who I am,
and what I am here for
and I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be,
all the brave things I'd done
vanished like a snowflake,
with the rising of the Sun
never more to sail my ship,
where no man has gone before
and I will go sailing no more..."

Even as the storm was coming in he continued with his fishing.
I was lucky as I broke into a run after taking this shot and managed to prevent my precious camera and equipment from getting drenched. Hope he managed some shelter too.

Freshly caught- that was what they were. Sitangkai is in the basin of the Sulu Sea teeming with marine life. Being Muslim, the people of Tawi-Tawi rely on fish for protein. Beef is practically non-existent as the islands in Sitangkai are small. Goats and chicken are also few. But when you have a bounty of the sea right at your doorstep, you would not really miss terra firma meat.

Sometimes if you use a polarizing filter optimally it looks to me like you're poking straight through the atmosphere. Definitely best viewed large.
One joins the Sinulog for several reasons: obligation, piety, community volunteerism, remuneration. But when you already are in the thick of it all, you soon realize that you are also there to have fun. These guys are seriously enjoying themselves and I applaud them for it.

Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?

Ramena beach is popular to both tourists and locals. Situated in just one of the 3 gigantic bays of Diego Suarez, the immaculate white sand coast of Ramena is among the numerous pristine beaches that enveigle the senses of sunlovers. For locals however, public buses are scarce except during Sunday when day beach trips become regular for those who want to partake of a piece of paradise. We took a taxi to this beach on a Sunday and with 20 kilometers of beach to choose, empty stretches are the rule and crowds are non-existent.
For the nearly 3 hours that we were there, I chose to skip taking a dip. I practiced with my Rebel camera as the lighting was perfect and the people could not be any more generous with their smiles- or in the case of this child leaning on her napping mother, her lazy stare.

Of the countless frolicking children competing for my attention, these two are just those whom you could not refuse. They may have little in life but are rich in energy and hope. Pure in spirit and boundless with charm, they appreciate their beach like no other.

"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

"Somewhere over the rainbow...way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow...skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney
tops...
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow--why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why oh, why can't I?"
"Somewhere over the Rainbow"
Judy Garland
"And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow..."
"True colors"
Cindy Lauper
"Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror.Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play."
"I am a mirror"
Alan Parsons Project
