This view extends from the island of
Grande Jatte,framed by trees to the red-roofed houses of the Paris suburb of
either Asniéres or Courbevoie across the Seine.Seurat had earlier celebrated this stretch of the river with his ambitious compositions Bathers at Asnières (1883-84,National Gallery,London) and A Sunday on La Grande Matte (1884-86),Art Institute of Chicago)
Here,he sought "to transcribe most exactly the vivid outdoor clarity [of nature] in all its nuances"using a technique known as Divisionism (also called Pointillism).The painted border was added shortly before the picture was first exhibited in 1889-the MET
This Black-headed gull is using the full extension of its wings, to slow itself down as it comes in to land on the water.

Little Pied Cormorant
Scientific Name: Microcarbo melanoleucos
Description: The Little Pied Cormorant is one of the most common of Australia's waterbirds, occurring on water bodies of almost any size. It is entirely black above and white below. The face is dusky and, in adult birds, the white of the underside extends to above the eye. Immature birds resemble the adults except there is no white above the eye.
Similar species: The Little Pied Cormorant resembles the Pied Cormorant,Phalacrocorax varius, but is easily distinguished by its smaller size and proportionately shorter bill The Pied Cormorant also has an orange-yellow face patch and black thighs.
Distribution: The Little Pied Cormorant is found throughout Australia.
Habitat: The Little Pied Cormorant is at home in either fresh or salt water. It is often seen in large flocks on open waterways and on the coast, especially where large numbers of fish are present. On inland streams and dams, however, it is often solitary. The Little Pied Cormorant mixes readily with the similar sized Little Black Cormorant, P. sulcirostris.
Feeding: Little Pied Cormorants feed on a wide variety of aquatic animals, from insects to fish. On inland streams and dams they turn to their most favoured food: yabbies (freshwater crayfish). These are caught by deep underwater dives with both feet kicking outward in unison. Other crustaceans are also taken, with shrimps being a large part of their diet in winter months.
Breeding: Little Pied Cormorants breed either in colonies or, less commonly, in single pairs. The nest is a flat platform of sticks, lined with green leaves and is usually placed in a tree. Both adults share in egg incubation and care of the young.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 66cm
Average size: 58cm
Clutch Size: 3 to 4

Over an extended weekend we did a 2000 miles road trip from California to Utah and back, destination badlands near Hanksville. After an overnight rainstorm we walked on muddy grounds for one hour to reach the Long Dong Silver, also called The Spire or The Needle. It's an otherworldly rock formation that looks like on another planet in a Star Wars movie. For sense of scale see my friend at the valley floor the right.
Nearby is also a private research facility called the Mars Desert Research Station, a laboratory for learning how to explore and how to live for prolonged time on Mars under many of the same constraints as they would on the Red Planet.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a U.S. National Lakeshore on the shore of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States. It extends for 42 miles (67 km) along the shore and covers 73,236 acres (114 sq mi; 296 km2). The park offers spectacular scenery of the hilly shoreline between Munising, Michigan and Grand Marais, Michigan, with various rock formations such as natural archways, waterfalls, and sand dunes.
Pictured Rocks derives its name from the 15 miles (24 km) of colorful sandstone cliffs northeast of Munising. The cliffs reach up to 200 feet (60 m) above lake level. They have been naturally sculptured into shallow caves, arches, formations that resemble castle turrets, and human profiles, among others.

Of course the Moon is the Earth's closest planetary body, but after that its Mars at some 105,931,244 kilometers away at the time this image was shot. It takes the light from Mars 5 minutes and 53. seconds to travel to Earth.
By comparison, the moon is only 376,995 kilometers away at the time of this image.

The Anastasia Formation extends for 2 miles north along the shoreline with cliffs up to 15 feet high at the House of Refuge. Looking south from the end of the boardwalk, Bathtub Reef is visible.
Immediately ahead is an outcrop with small burrows, aminated crusts, solution pipes, a notch and an abrasion platform, and a mass of collapsed rock. Moving north along the beach moving toward the House of Refuge, there are several outcrops with conspicuous notches.
At the House of Refuge are prominent planar bedding, many fossils (including Busycon), small and large burrows, thick laminated calcium carbonate crusts, lithified infillings, solution pipes, notched cliffs, promontories and small coves, and many large masses of collapsed bedrock.

Only extended the shutter speed to 1/2 second here to get some wave action with the swells hitting against the rocks. The clouds over the ocean were very pretty there in the morning.

The Texas rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri ) is a subspecies of rat snake, a nonvenomous colubrid found in the United States, primarily within the state of Texas, but its range extends into Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.[1] It intergrades with other subspecies of Elaphe obsoleta, so exact range boundaries are impossible to distinguish.[2] The epithet lindheimeri is to honor the German-American naturalist Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer, who collected the first specimen in New Braunfels, Texas.[3]
Over an extended weekend we did a 2000 miles roadtrip from California to Utah and back, destination badlands near Hanksville. First stops were fall color spots in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We went to see Silver Lake near June Lake, California. This trail has a perfect S-curve.

One of my favorite birds and the reason I bought my Canon 600 f/4 prime lens - I found this drake hooded merganser at Lake Artemesia today with another drake and two hens. Little did he know that I had finally calibrated my Canon 2x tele-converter on my 7D2 and 600 using my lens align system and was going to test it out on some unsuspecting birds. So, Mr. Hoodie became my first test subject to see if I could focus with an astonishing 1920mm effective (7D2 body, 2.0 extender, and 600mm lens is 1.6 X 2.0 X 600 = 1920) and actually get a nice photo out of it. Why do this at all? Well, most of the hooded mergansers I've met aren't really a sociable lot. They seem uncomfortable around humans and they like to stay far far away towards the middle of the lake if they can. But the 2X introduces another problem and it's a huge consideration. Can I keep the camera and lens stable enough so that I didn't get a blurry photography. The longer the effective the more of a problem this is and this is as long as I can get and still use autofocus on my 7D2 body. I was shooting this camera combination on a tripod with a Wimberly head.
Well, you be the judge! How do you think it all worked out? Did I nail it or get a blurry photo? Thank you for looking and giving me feedback my friends!

There is an interesting tangle of long tree roots along the bank of the lake and it is not always easy or obvious to identify which tree they belong to...

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest cat in tropical America and in the world the third largest cat after the tiger and lion.
The jaguar's present range extends from the U.S.-Mexico border across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina, particularly in the Amazon basin.
This spotted cat most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioural and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger.
The rosettes on a jaguar's coat are larger, fewer in number, usually darker, and have thicker lines and small spots in the middle that the leopard lacks.
While dense rainforest is its preferred habitat, the jaguar will range across a variety of forested and open terrains. It is strongly associated with the presence of water and is notable, along with the tiger, as a feline that enjoys swimming.
The jaguar is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the food chain. Jaguars are powerfully built, with large, square jaws. Jaguars have lean bodies and muscular limbs. They are built for power, not speed, although they can run briefly. Height at the shoulder may be up to 75 cm. Body length is 130 to 190 cm long with a tail of 45 to 75 cm. Jaguars weigh between 65 and 125 kg. Base coat colors range from pale yellow to reddish brown, with black, rosette-shaped spots.
They may also be black (a melanistic form), but then, despite being the same species, are often called panthers. These jaguars have a base coat color of black with black spots that are usually dimly visible against the black background. Black jaguars are more common in forested habitats.
De grootste kat van het Amerikaanse continent is de jaguar (Panthera onca). Na de tijger en de leeuw is deze kat de derde grootste van de wereld.
De jaguar heeft een groot leefgebied dat zich uitstrekt van de Amerikaans-Mexicaanse grens via Midden-Amerika tot in Paraguay en Noord-Argentinië in Zuid-Amerika.
In het Amazonegebied komen de meeste jaguars voor.
De jaguar lijkt oppervlakkig sterk op de luipaard of panter, maar is meestal groter en zwaarder gebouwd. De vlekken (rozetten) op de vacht van een jaguar zijn ook groter, minder in aantal, meestal donkerder, en hebben dikkere lijnen en kleine vlekjes in het midden, die bij de luipaarden ontbreken.
Het gedrag en de leefgebieden van jaguars zijn dichter bij die van tijgers. Jaguars leven vooral in tropische bossen, maar ook in meer open terreinen, mits er genoeg dekking is van gras en rotsen tijdens het jagen. Ze hebben net als tijgers een voorkeur voor waterrijke gebieden. Ze zijn ook niet bang voor water en kunnen goed zwemmen. Vrijwel ieder dier dat in het leefgebied van de jaguar voorkomt, vormt een potentiële prooi voor dit roofdier. De solitair levende jaguar is vooral in de ochtend- en avondschemering actief.
Jaguars zijn krachtig gebouwd met grote sterke kaken. De poten zijn relatief kort, maar erg sterk. De staart zorgt voor evenwicht bij het springen. De vacht is lichtgeel tot roodbruin met zwarte rozetten, ronde of ovale vlekken met daarin één of twee donkere stippen. Midden op de rug verandert de rij zwarte vlekken soms in een doorlopende lijn. De hoogte bij de schouder kan oplopen tot 75 cm. De lichaamslengte is 130 à 190 cm met een staart van 50 à 75 cm. Jaguars wegen tussen de 65 en 125 kg.
Naast de hiervoor beschreven lichtgeel tot roodbruin kleur is er ook een melanistische (zwarte) variant, waarbij de vlekken wel te zien zijn in de zon. Ondanks dat het dezelfde soort betreft, worden de zwarte jaguars vaak onjuist panters genoemd. Zwarte jaguars komen wat meer voor in bosrijke gebieden.

Es ante la negativa del Gobierno Nacional de avalar créditos para la Capital. Lo harán por una ley. Mientras, las nuevas líneas (F, G e I), la terminación total de la línea H y la culminación de las existentes "en marcha" (A y B), siguen en lista de espera.

Texto: Por Silvia Gómez para el diario Clarín.
El ministro de Hacienda porteño, Néstor Grindetti, presentó en la semana en la Legislatura el presupuesto 2010 y así arrancó una ronda de diez reuniones informativas. Los cuestionamientos de los diputados, que fueron pocos, giraron sobre cuatro ejes fundamentales: la falta de previsión de aumentos salariales para los empleados del Estado, la elaboración de los índices para calcular la inflación, la escasez de grandes obras de infraestructura y el estancamiento en la extensión del subte.
Para 2010 la Ciudad pretende contar con un presupuesto de $ 17.457,8 millones. "El 66,5% del total se destinarán a servicios sociales", aseguró Grindetti. La reunión, amenizada por dos rondas de café y medialunas de manteca, duró dos horas y media pese a que estaba previsto que se extendiera por cuatro, y en el Salón Montevideo se respiró un aire afable.
Los diputados opositores coincidieron cuando le pidieron al ministro que no se victimice por la falta de apoyo del Gobierno nacional para avanzar en grandes obras de infraestructura. Grindetti sostuvo: "si todas las entidades financieras de renombre mundial han calificado a la Ciudad como un sujeto de crédito aún por encima del nivel de riesgo soberano, deberíamos preguntarnos por qué el Gobierno nacional ha privado a la Ciudad de la posibilidad de acceder a créditos de largo plazo que hubieran permitido desarrollar aún más inversiones". Y adelantó que enviará a la Legislatura un proyecto de ley para permitirle a la Ciudad emitir deuda sin el permiso de la Nación.
Ruanova cuestionó el presupuesto propio de la Ciudad para la extensión de subtes, que es de $ 40 millones para la B y de $ 37 millones para la A: "Solo el estudio de factibilidad para el sistema de bicicletas públicas cuesta $ 40 millones", comparó. Grindetti aseguró que existen ofertas de financiación para las líneas A, B y H: "Si se concretan, vendremos a la Legislatura para analizar las obras puntualmente", explicó.
Arriba: La futura terminal de la línea A, San Pedrito, una de las tantas estaciones casi terminadas que necesita de un mínimo de financiamiento para ser habilitada. Le siguen, San José de Flores, de la misma línea, Echeverría y Juan Manuel de Rosas de la B y Parque Patricios y Hospitales de la H. En tanto, en el extremo Norte de esa línea, se encuentra la estación Corrientes a la que le faltan terminaciones mínimas indispensables para su funcionamiento, como señales, cableados, el tendido de la catenaria (por donde se alimentan vía aérea los trenes del subte), caminos rodantes en la combinación con Pueyrredón de la línea B (que será la nueva novedad de la red) y escaleras mecánicas exteriores e interiores.
