The new main distribution ditch proved photographically interesting for the machine marks on its recently worked clay bottom and the occasional accent provided by residual salt and halophiles.

With the arrival of fall the nesting season is over and I am allowed to photograph in the South Bay again. This year I received a request to photograph a construction project that is subdividing Salt Pond A12 into series of smaller managed ponds to serve as avian habitat. The ponds will be kept at different salinities.
This project occurs along the banks of Mt. Eden Slough, the “cradle of San Francisco’s salt industry” according to author John Sandoval. This section of former marsh is where the first small salt operations appeared in the 19th Century and here remain the most interesting of old salt works ruins, some so faint they are at the threshold of perception. The land is now going through yet another transformation as part of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project and will see considerable change over the next few years. It should be fun to watch.
The set captures the construction project well underway as heavy machinery creates distribution ditches and flow control structures. Many photographs in this set are prosaic images documenting construction. But the session also found some interesting surface textures, particularly in the machine worked layers of clay that line the new ditches. The set also contains a few photographs of Mount Eden Creek Marsh, an area restored to tidal flow in 2008.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. Kite flying is prohibited over the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve without a Special Use Permit, as is access to this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.

The Peppermint Stick Insect (Megacrania batesii) has a very small and patchy distribution along some beach areas in Cape Tribulation, Etty Bay and Mission Beach. They range in colour from bright green to turquoise and they feed only on a few species of Pandanus plants and these spikey-leaved palms also provide some shelter from predators. The Peppermint Stick Insect spends all its time on the Pandanus, feeding, sheltering, mating and laying its eggs on the leaves where they roll down to the tight-fitting leaf axil to 'incubate'. Why is it called the Peppermint Stick Insect? As a defense mechanism, it sprays an irritating fluid at any predators (which include curious tourists) and this fluid smells like peppermint. This is a strenuous act for the frightened stick insect so if you are lucky enough to find one in your travels through the Wet Tropics, please don't try to touch it.
Tour operators, especially at Cape Tribulation, have been observed pulling back leaves and poking the insect to provoke a minty reaction. Nature lovers say this stresses the insect and damages the pandanus.
Most species of stick insects live in the trees, feed on the leaves and look just like a branch. The easiest way to pinpoint one is to look for a branch that seems out of alignment to the other branches or a branch that appears to be attached to the outside edges of leaves.
The female's body is much larger than the male's and both have wings - but the males' wings are larger. Females don't travel around much and emit a hormonal perfume (called a pheromone) to attract the males to them for breeding. The males have larger wings to enable them to fly longer distances in search of females.
Although the stick insects are well camouflaged to aid their invisibility to predators such as birds, their wings provide a backup defence system. Normally, their wings fold up very neatly along the body but the stick insect can spring the wings out suddenly. The colours of stick insect wings can be vivid colours which can startle a potential predator momentarily - just long enough to enable the stick insect to fly away.

Kenya Red Cross Society as part of its Early Action Protocols for drought conducted a seed distribution in the semi-arid communities of Kwale County some of which have not had rainfall for up to three years. In coordination with the county government and the farmers, fast yielding seeds were distributed in anticipation of imminent rains. Go to climatecentre.org for full story. Photo: Denis Onyodi/KRCS)
Malawi, Muona, Nsanje District, 24 March 2020
In March 2019, rural farmers in Muona have seen their crops washed away by Cyclone Idai. WFP responded at that time with immediate support.
However, as food stocks depleted and as the next harvest is only expected in March 2020, WFP in Malawi has distributed monthly cash transfers to the most vulnerable so they can buy food and boost the local economy.
In the Photo: WFP is distributing Cash to food insecure people in Muona, Nsanje District (Southern Malawi) so they can buy food in the local markets.
As prevention measures for COVID-19, the beneficiaries are called by small group to facilitate distancing, received sensitization messages on the virus through the megaphones, are asked to wash hands with soap before and after getting their entitlements. In addition, staff and volunteers in charge of the distributions are using protecting masks and gloves.

Illinois law says people riding bikes must have a front white light and a rear red reflector (although Active Transportation Alliance and the City of Chicago recommend a rear red light).
Lawyer Jim Freeman and Groupon customers donated 200 bike lights to be given away to people riding bikes without a headlight at Milwaukee/North/Damen on Wednesday, November 10, 2010.
I think only 2 people refused.
Lights in the "giveaway" are Cateye HL-EL135N (a wonderful and easy to remember name).
With the monsoon season underway, Caritas teams continue to provide life-saving relief in some of the most affected, hard-to-reach parts of the country.
