Nada é inútil; dos homens aos insetos
vão-se estendendo todos os aspectos
que a idéia da existência pode ter;
e o que deslumbra o olhar é perceber
em todos esses seres incompletos
a completa noção de um mesmo ser... (Raul de Leoni, Petrópolis, 1895-1926)
Wishing you all lovely wednesday!
Kisses...
A lot of these ring-necked parakeets around here. They live in large groups in winter time and terrorize the forest. The woodpeckers have be driven out of their nests here and the parakeets have taken over their homes.
This is one of those ring-necked parakeets that have claimed a woodpeckers' nest in the tree trunk on the right.
For the lensflare I removed the lenshood and kept the sun just out of view, used a fill flash to lower the shadows. No crop...

I always liked taking an occasional trip to Duluth's Canadian sister city as Thunder Bay seemed both familiar and exotic relative to the Twin Ports. I wasn't one to take many slides of rolling stock but this 40-ft grain loading boxcar caught my eye. The stencil says not for interchange - Churchill and Thunder Bay grain service only. They kept a number of these cars in service for lines with light load limits.
The butterfly has landed.

Walk amongst some of the world's most beautiful species, including brilliant swallowtails, and cleverly camouflaged Owl butterflies within a natural habitat.

Flowers, leaves, roots, bark, seeds and bulbs are used in endless combinations to produce an infinite variety of flavors: sweet, sharp, hot, sour, spicy, aromatic, tart, mild, fragrant or pungent. Their tastes and aromas create a bountiful yumminess in South Asian cooking :)

La Kamchatka,situata nell'estremo oriente russo,è una penisola formata da una vallata centrale e da ampi massicci composti da oltre 160 vulcani (29 ancora attivi)e lunga 1250 km.
Il gruppo è stato creato nel marzo del 2004 a Palana nella regione del Koriak,conosciuta per la bellezza del suo paesaggio che si riflette anche nelle danze di questo popolo,grazie alla volontà ed all'impegno della direttrice Svetlana Beliaeva e sotto la direzione artistica del coreografo Sergey Kutynkavav.
L'obiettivo principale è quello di conservare,sviluppare e diffondere la cultura del proprio Paese attraverso la formazione musicale dei giovani componenti del gruppo.
Questi artisti vivono a nove ore di aereo da Mosca e a dieci ore di slitta da Petropavlovsk.
