This shot is for my dear friend Elle aka wHaT's My C@t tHinKing ??who got married today in Monaco with the love of her life.

 

CONGRATULATIONS again, my dear! I am so happy for you! Wishing you all the happiness in the world!!!

 

From this moment life has begun

From this moment you are the one

Right beside you is where I belong

From this moment on

 

 

this shot what taken here and we had such a fun time!

Working on a custom linen bookmark for my friend Laurraine, I have forgotten to include dry lavender in the small part of the bookmark. :( I was so mad about myself when I realized. (grrr) So I took the matching fabric & crochet lace (that I was using for the bookmark) and made a lavender strawberry, to make up for my mistake.

 

I hope you can forgive me, my friend.

lavender strawberry

a gift

for a friend

Another wrist cuff that will be gifted to another dear friend.

 

The folkloric fabric was a gift from the awesome Patricia (Zencrafting), the lining was bought in Paris, and the button (that you can't see) was a gift from the awesome Joanie. The elastic cord was salvaged. I only re-embroidered some of the birds' details.

 

I am really enjoying making wrist cuffs these days, can you tell ?! LOL And I have a last one to show, but after that my friend will have gotten it.

Today it rained a bit in Tucson, and though the rain did not create rivers as it does during the summer monsoons, there was a long rivulet outside in the tree basins. When I heard the soft drops falling, I had been reading this passage:

 

The river adapts itself to whatever route proves possible, but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of the other rivers it encounters.

 

~from The Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho, p. 93

    

...So-ooo, this is my offering to all of You, my flowing river friends here on flickr. Your love, light, humor, creativity, compassion, generous spirits, and friendship continually strengthen the flowing river that is me ... all of us on our way out to the Sea :)

 

~Thank you all so much for your love and friendship~

  

for all my friends under smoke filled skies

Eagles - New Kid In Town

 

There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar

Great expectations, everybody's watching you

People you meet, they all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Happy feathery friday - birds against the sky.

Latetly, there's been some discussion on the net about birders and bird photographers - again!.

I think as bird photographers we have to be really careful. As the bird photographer flock grows, I am increasingly witnessing behaving badly bird photographers (BBB P's for short). A few weeks ago I was at Merced NWR watching a group of photographers OFF-TRAIL, without permission, scaring a flock of thousands of Ross's Geese. Seeing this, one of the birders I was with, (whose husband is a famous bird photographer!) told the Audubon director "Photographer's are ASS....S" - An attitude that is increasingly shared amongst birders - as the bird photography community grows. This worries me - a lot. These badly behaving bird photographers are alienating the birding community - people whose help we need, and whose goals we should be supporting.

 

Last November, I spent a few days birding in Singapore with Singapore's premier wildlife biologist, Subaraj Raj. Subaraj is an amazing and incredibly respected gent - and he's done an incredible amount of work to save Singapore's wild areas, and to promote birding and wildlife conservation in Singapore and Malaysia.

 

I asked Subaraj if, he had witnessed the suspicion that birders harbored towards bird photographers, and vice-versa. He said he had seen the same problem in Singapore, and he had changed the culture (and is still working on it!) using an Ecology Study Group, and an Internet approach to spreading the word (the besgroup Singapore link above). The kernel genius of Subaraj's idea was to harness birders and bird photographers to work cooperatively to document bird behaviour. Subaraj has written a paper about his experience:

 

You can download it here:

rmbr.nus.edu.sg/nis/bulletin2009/2009nis27-30.pdf

 

or follow the link here:

rmbr.nus.edu.sg/nis/bulletin2009.php

 

I think it's a very valuable paper in explaining an alternative mode of interaction between birders and bird photographers. If we started to appreciate behavioral insight more - maybe BBB P's would think more about their presence in the bird's environment.

 

I'd be very grateful if you could spend a few moments reading the article and giving me some feedback on ideas to unite the two communities. I'm thinking about starting our own Bird Ecology Group (maybe on flickr?) but before I go off making something, I'd like to first hear your thoughts.

 

With very kindest regards,

Ashok
