Vancouver Island is well known for its coastal rainforest of intense green color and density. This picture was taken at Pedder Bay Marina, the duck was just swimming among the various boats when it caught my eye. I used one of the boat as a blind to be able to approach closer to the duck. The intense color of the water is a reflection of the forested surrounding of the marina.

Have a nice Sunday ;-))

Where there are fishing nets and boats, there seems to be birds. This is such a common sight in Cochin and the surrounding area.

I first saw Cochin when it was a port of call of the Star Clipper lines. You have seen the water flowers of the backwaters. They also fill some of the harbor of this area too. Imagine slowing coming into port on a huge clipper ship with mammoth sails flying and seeing this fishing paradise.

If that wasn't enough to take your breath away, there are graceful Chinese fishing nets adorning the coast as well. Cochin is a memorable city.

There is scarcely any writer who has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of rivulets. ~Samuel Johnson

From those mountains far away,

He calls the tune,

And I must go,

No longer, can I stay "

There she goes

There she goes again

Racing through my brain

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains

There she goes

There she goes again

Pulsing through my veins

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains

There she goes

There she goes again

Racing through my brain

And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains...

"You're gonna meet some strangers, welcome to the zoo

Bitter disappointments, except for one or two

Some of them are angry, some of them are mean

Most of them are twisted, few of them are clean."

THE QUARANTINE IS ALMOST ENDED

Sailing yacht AGLAIA at 66 metres (216.5 ft) was launched earlier in March by Dutch Shipyard Vitters One interesting point about this sailing yacht is her massive mast. As she is a sloop she needs one very tall and technologically advanced mast which stands over 80 meters above her deck and even further above the water line. Superyacht AGLAIA also features one of the largest composite rudders created to date.

Early morning

Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)

This is a breeding adult doing it's best to chase me away. They come in fast and right at you. When they fly up just inches from your head, they poop on you. I held my camera up and just held the shutter trigger down hoping I got something. I did this several times and this is the best one. I did have to clean off the camera.
