Do you empathise with the fish or the bird, I wonder? Several people have expressed sympathy for the fish in previous photos 'Do they ever get away?' I have been asked. Almost never.
The Great Crested Grebes work hard for their catch - they dive below the surface for about 30 seconds, cover a surprising distance under the water, and only bring up a fish every 10 - 20 dives. This one managed to catch two fish in the space of about half an hour. Nature as it is lived in the wild.
Serra do Sincorá is a mountain range located in the Brazilian state of Bahia, an integral part of Chapada Diamantina and which has its most beautiful natural attractions (such as Morro do Pai Inácio) and human attractions (such as the historic cities of Lençóis, Palmeiras, Mucugê and Andaraí), constituting an important geological, paleontological and ecological site.
It has an extension of 80 km, projecting an average of 800 meters above the bordering valleys - reaching up to 2000 m in altitude, forming valleys and canyons.
The Serra was the central nucleus of diamond exploration, in a race that began in the 1840s, generating the influx of tens of thousands of explorers in search of diamonds that, having emerged from kimberlites, by alluvium were taken to the beds of the rivers.

Square dancing tractors combine the art of dance with agricultural machinery. This unique tradition involves vintage tractors performing choreographed movements, resembling a traditional square dance.

PHOTO: this tractor appeared to be dancing, so I did some research and found tractors really do dance, square dance that is!

Do we really believe that our brain is big enough to understand all there is? Do we think that the world is an object that we can control, exploit and manipulate? If 'yes' is our answer, there can be no dialogue between ourselves and the world. Our monologue would dominate and ultimately result in silence. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 at F11.

My dark red 'Oklahoma' hybrid tea-rose.

So here are 'The Beatles' with their mega famous song 'Love Me Do' released in 1963. It was the band's first ever song!!

AND, amazingly, 1963 was the very year that the rose 'Oklahoma' was born - created by Herbert Swim and O. L. Weeks at the Oklahoma State University, in the USA.
It is my Miss 17's most favourite rose. And she also sings 'Love Me Do', even though the lyrics are from 1963, and a lifetime away from her world of Tik Tok and ChatGPT.
But the simple message of love transcends time and resonates with her as she begins her own quest for love!!
"Love me do
Someone to love
Somebody new
Someone to love
Someone like you"

A Árvore do Amor fica na Praia de Barra de Maxaranguape, litoral norte de Natal - RN. É um "abraço" de duas gameleiras, árvore típica da região e parada obrigatória dos visitantes. Além das praias, as lagoas, dunas, manguezais, rio e parrachos compõem a beleza da região. A árvore é assim chamada porque as duas copas se fundiram em uma. Nos galhos inferiores da árvore, moças que desejam se casar, amarram fitinhas coloridas.
