This male hooded merganser follows this mallard hen around everywhere. Either it is hopelessly lovestruck or perhaps he was raised by this hen as her own.
I did a pregnancy photoshoot with Mayra and Justin a while back. I had met Mayra some time back at a local classic car show. Mayra is both a model and photographer.

your devotion is. . . commendable.

I think I do, completely.
I finally brought her home. Ever since I ordered her, I have regretted it. Even when the payment notice came, I delayed paying for it when I usually pay right next second. I wanted to wait for RL pics. I loved what I saw. Well, at least the doll itself. I still don't like the outfit at all but the doll is FIERCE. Now I need to hunt for the perfect outfit for her. And learn how to do updos, coz I don't like that plain long hair either.
True prayer is about honouring and offering everything to the Divine. Honouring brings devotion and it leads to surrender ~ H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
We couldn't leave Cologne without visiting the Cathedral. Beautiful light entered thourgh the huge high windows on both sides of the church, creating perfect lightning conditions for this image.
In Saint Joseph's eve, in some Italian countries devoted to St. Joseph bonfires are lit for devotion and sacrifice, in honor of the saint.

This is Devotion by Louis Thompson
Good Friday observance in Barangay (barrio) San Pedro Cutud, in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. During this annual tradition of faith of Kapampangan Catholic Devotees people remember the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Although the modern Catholic church now discourages this act of hurting themselves, many penitents called "magdarame" carry wooden crosses, crawl on rough pavement, and slash their backs before whipping themselves to draw blood (pictured). This is done to ask for forgiveness of sins, to fulfill vows (panata), or to express gratitude for favors granted.
I love capturing honest emotions of devotion. Here I try capturing the same in this little girl's face.

My son and I went for a walk in the bush yesterday afternoon and we heard a bird call in a small tree above us. The female Red-rumped parrot was sitting there. My son took some shots while I looked around for the male - sure enough he was just below us on the other side of the path. We got lots of shots between us because neither bird was going to leave until we went - we had unwittingly separated them. they didn't move until after we had moved along the path away from them. The male parrot above is by me, the female, below, taken by my son.
