Aos deputados e senadores:
Tramita no Congresso Nacional um projeto de lei que, se aprovado, será um golpe mortal para todas as florestas brasileiras e, em especial, a amazônica. O PL 6424/2005, conhecido com Floresta Zero, reduz a reserva legal da região para 50% e ainda permite compensar, em outros locais, qualquer desmatamento que vá além desse limite.
O Brasil demorou 450 anos para botar no chão praticamente uma floresta inteira, a Mata Atlântica, que se espalhava em 1 milhão de quilômetros quadrados entre o Paraná e o Rio Grande do Norte. Infelizmente, parece que não aprendemos nada dessa lição. A velocidade de destruição da Amazônia é quase dez vezes maior. Em pouco menos de 40 anos, já perdemos para sempre mais de 700 mil quilômetros quadrados de Amazônia – o equivalente a quase três estados de São Paulo. Se o Floresta Zero passar no Congresso, a devastação assumirá um ritmo ainda mais avassalador.
O Floresta Zero incentiva a derrubada da floresta e inocenta milhares de crimes ambientais. A Amazônia ocupa 5% do solo do planeta e abriga a maior biodiversidade do mundo. Somos hoje o quarto maior emissor de gases de efeito estufa do mundo. Cerca de 70% de nossas emissões são decorrentes do desmatamento e das queimadas.
Destruir a Amazônia provoca um grande impacto econômico e social no país. A chuva que é produzida na Amazônia é importante não apenas para a região. Ela ajuda na geração de energia, na produção de alimentos e no abastecimento de água no centro, sul e sudeste brasileiro. Para os mais de 22 milhões de brasileiros que habitam a Amazônia, o desmatamento nunca trouxe desenvolvimento social. Cerca de 85% dos casos de trabalho escravo do país ocorrem nas áreas desmatadas da Amazônia.
Ao invés de aumentar a proteção do meio ambiente e estabelecer metas para a redução do desmatamento, o Congresso Nacional estará dando as costas para a Amazônia e abrindo as portas para mais destruição. A sociedade brasileira exige um ponto final no desmatamento de nossas florestas, em especial a Amazônia. Seja a favor da floresta. Diga não ao PL 6424/2005.

The plane which I was on flew into Lima due to bad weather at it's original destination, Iquitos...
From there, a later plane was taken to Iquitos and the plan was to join a boat a little down river from there....( travelling down to it by canoe with small motor ). It is a recent realisation that I had travelled by plane or boat from the West Coast to the East, arriving a little south of the marked route into Belem and then up the coast to French Guiana and the Surinam border.......
By far the most common kingfisher that we encountered during our time in the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge in Costa Rica was the Amazon Kingfisher. This female was quite a great model.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Chloroceryle amazona
Olha só o tamanho desse bichão!!!
It feels amazing to feel the dolphin's contact on the skin!
This handsome is the Pink Giant!
The dolphins live loose in the river, there is nothing that holds them, nor do they go through training; they are conditioned by the caretaker, to go to the platform to feed, end up getting used to the place and the people. Many are known by names.

Na classificação dos biólogos, não há nenhuma diferença entre botos e golfinhos é só uma questão de nomenclatura regional. O termo boto ganhou força no Brasil para nomear o pequeno cetáceo encontrado nos rios da Amazônia. A partir daí, passou a ser ensinado em escolas que boto era de água doce e golfinho, de água salgada

We were very fortunate to see the five Kingfishers in the Pantanal.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Here is the full diorama of all four Amazon builds created for mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration!
First of all: Be sure to check out the Full Video of this build! This includes Bartu's masterful compositions, which is how this collaboration really comes alive! Don't miss it! :D
Hope you've enjoyed this collaboration! It has been quite a different one, working in two separate mediums, but I really want to thank Bartu for initiating this! It's been a very fun, interesting and intense month! Thanks!
One last thing: You seriously need to check out the VIDEO result of this collab to see how the music and lego builds work together. If not, you will just be seeing half of it :)
Crazy Tuesday: Packaging
I tore open the layers of this padded packing envelope expecting to find a thin shield of bubble wrap. Instead, it was full of these little fluff bumps. Who knew?
A composite image of the wreck of the Amazon under southern starry skies. I'm not sure about posting this as it's not my usual style: I like to use infrared, long exposures, modified lenses and tilt-shifts to create an interpretation that is still strongly linked to the subject in front of me. In this case I've combined a single 2-second image of the shoreline with a 21-minute night sky exposure taken 3 weeks later from my backyard.
I really like the end result but it just doesn't feel honest, in the way of my usual techniques.

Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*

Another snap shot of one of my husbands Amazon Tree Frogs. The eyes are amazing they also have a blue tongue .
Milk frogs are highly arboreal and in nature rarely if ever come down from their home in the trees which is why they require extra habitat and frog supplies. Provide perches above ground such as cork bark, bamboo trigs etc. Artificial plants or live plants can also be used.

The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration - Regrowth :)
Of all four builds I found this to be the hardest. Not in terms of time and effort, but in striking a balance. The idea is to show nature reclaiming land that has been misused, showing that nature has the strength to recover. At the same time, I didn't want to show it too overgrown, as nature needs time, lots of time, to grow back. I also wanted it to be clear that this was a new forest in the making.
As such, there had to be enough vegetation to show that nature was taking over, but not so much that the signs of human interference were lost in the build. I'm not confident that I got all the way there, but it was a good try hopefully :)
Not much in terms of innovation in this build. Basically a lot of the same things that I used in the third build, but broken and covered.
Hope you enjoyed the build! I think it's one of those that could be improved quite a bit on hindsight, but I think it still turned out ok :)
Amazon tree boa (Corallus hortulanus) - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
The family Boidae includes some of, and in fact THE largest snakes in the world. The really big species like anacondas and adult boa constrictors don't tend to climb so much and many of the other species stay low despite not attaining huge sizes (rainbow, rosy, rubber, etc boas). However, there's an entire genus of boas that don't get so big and are well adapted to life in the tree tops. There are 9 species and they all spend the vast majority of their time in the tree tops only infrequently descending to near ground level. While still quite hefty animals they remain comparatively slender compared to terrestrial boas of the same size and as adults feed largely on birds, arboreal mammals like mouse opossums, and other animals they encounter high above the ground.
