After the devastation of floods and associated landslides in this region of southern India, work was then underway to restore the mountain roads, in what can only be described as 'Very Manual Labour'!

HAPPY LABOUR DAY, everyone!
On 17 May 2015, I finally got out with my camera for a few hours. The previous few days had been dreary and overcast, with rain the last couple of the days. The sense of freedom felt so good, as I stopped in at a wetland in SW Calgary and then drove my usual loop along the backroads SW of the city.
At this first pond, I saw the usual Mallards, Lesser Scaup (male, seen in this photo), Redheads, Common Grackle, Red-headed Blackbirds, and a quick glimpse of a distant pair of Cinnamon Teal glowing in the sunshine. Something I didn't know is that many female Redheads make no nests of their own, but instead lay their eggs in the nests of other ducks.
The Lesser Scaup has a slight bump or peak on back of head, as can be seen in this photo. The Greater Scaup is extremely similar, but is slightly larger and has a smoothly rounded head.
"Two scaup species live in North America: the Greater Scaup prefers salt water and is found in America and Eurasia, while the Lesser Scaup prefers freshwater and is found only in North America. The Lesser Scaup is one of the most abundant and widespread of the diving ducks in North America." From AllAboutBirds.

I had intended walking around to where I had seen the Canada Geese nest in other years, but before I did so, I suddenly noticed a distant pair of Geese swimming in my direction. I didn't really think much about it, but as they got closer, I realized that they were escorting 10 little goslings. They swam right up to where I was standing, as if to show off their new little family. And then they were gone, swimming off in the direction from which I had seen them come. After taking a few more photos of the nearby ducks, I carefully looked at each pair of Geese on the pond and none of them had any goslings swimming with them. Maybe they had returned them to the edge of the wetland and hidden them well. These were my very first goslings this spring, so I was happy as can be to see them.
A week earlier, on 10 May, my daughter and I had great views of a pair of Red-necked Grebes, who seemed to be building a nest closer to shore than in previous years. It was disappointing to see that the tiny "island" that they seemed to have chosen was now very low in the water, after all the rain we had had. Hopefully, they won't move to a higher mound that is further away, but that is what I am expecting. Makes me thankful to have seen the pair fairly close 10 days ago.
From this pond, I continued on my drive, greatly appreciating the sunshine and fairly empty roads, despite this being the Victoria long weekend here. The Brewer's Blackbirds were perched on fence posts, and I always love to see these birds with their white eyes.
In one large pond, I watched two pairs of Blue-winged Teal, a Muskrat, a Pied-bill Grebe, and a pair of Red-necked Grebes. Most of these birds were very far away, but I did manage to get a few distant shots of the Teal.
At the next slough that I stopped at, I saw one solitary Swan, too far away to tell if it was a Trumpeter or Tundra (apparently a Trumpeter). I also spotted a funny little Pied-billed Grebe swimming fairly close to the road, but by the time I had driven a bit further in order to turn my car around, the Grebe was already closer to the far shore. Further on, I stopped to see a pair of Mountain Bluebirds that came to their nesting box just once while I was there. Tree Swallows made a quick appearance at the nest box that was nearby.
Continuing my drive, I passed a pair of American Wigeon preening themselves at a tiny slough, along with a Green-winged Teal. Further yet, I stopped to take a few photos of Red-winged Blackbirds and - to my great delight - a Wilson's Snipe, one of my favourite birds to photograph. Last year seemed to be such a great year for Snipe, so I was hoping this spring might be the same. When I drove this road in one direction, I was happy to spot a distant Snipe down in the grasses, but still wished that it had been standing on a fence post. After turning my car around, I slowly drove along the edge of the wetland again and, this time, there it was! Absolutely made my day - anyone would think it was my very first sighting ever of a Snipe! Surprisingly, it didn't stay for long, but gave me time to get three or four shots.
From here, it was time to return home along some of the backroads before eventually having to get back on to the highway. A dark phase Swainson's Hawk was where I had seen it (same one?) on a couple of other occasions. Took a photo or two through the windscreen, so not the best photos, but I thought it might fly if I got out of the car.
It was so good to get out and, though I saw no new or rare birds, I was, as always, happy to see the more usual ones, especially when they are close enough to photograph.

Wim Delvoye - Labour of Love - Noordbrabants Museum Den Bosch, the Netherlands
Fun, provocative, and rebellious: these words perfectly describe the artworks by Belgian artist, Wim Delvoye. His work reflects his extraordinary skill, but it is also full of contradictions. This is the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands by this internationally renowned artist. You will discover that nothing is what it seems in this impressive compilation of his work. Wim Delvoye has a fondness for traditional handicrafts and skilled workmanship. His boundless productivity has led to this particular eclectic collection of artworks: from gas canisters decorated with Delft Blue patterns and gothic trucks to his stained glass windows with x-rays of the human body. Delvoye likes to play with opposites. He is always looking for ways to bring together arts and craft, popular culture, and fine art.
Delvoye manages to effortlessly sneak in all kinds of everyday objects into the world of art, including car tyres, suitcases, and ironing boards. He marries them together with highly valuable materials or religious images. The result is strange and confusing combinations that allow you to step back and observe recognizable objects in a different light. Wim Delvoye collaborates with specialists from all over the world. He visits artisan workshops and factories in various countries in search of the finest quality. A good example of this is his series of aluminium suitcases that he asked Iranian metalworkers to decorate for him. Wim Delvoye views society critically and with irony. Delvoye has won international acclaim for his artwork, particular for his Cloaca series. His artworks are on exhibit in museums all over the world. His previous solo exhibitions were held in the Royal Museum of Fine Art in Brussels, the Louvre in Paris, and The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg. Wim Delvoye: Labour of Love is the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands of Wim Delvoye's work.

The sun sets on what is traditionally thought of as the end of the Canadian summer. Personally, I'm gonna squeeze another month out of it!
P.S. Any guesses what he's got in the boat? A big pile of fish, a rock for his garden? His wife in a sack?
Labour is the man who work hard in any season. He works hard under the bare hot sun and any circumstances, even today, when whole world dedicates a day to him.. Now a days hi rise buildings are constructing rapidly in Pakistan. Labour work on those building and climbing on them without taking any health precautions, like helmets, recommended shoes, eye glasses and others. This is one of the community who is neglected so badly, I guess all over the world. A factory labour is facing the same problems and some time he loses his life too. Labour is squeezing from the day one by builders and factory owners. That group may never understand the problems of labour but they want their property at first and best in the world but they don't know who is behind this master piece. Many men who gave their energy, flooded their sweat and some time blood as well.
1st May is observed as labour day almost all around the world. In that day we commit to do for betterment of the labor but unfortunately nothing is happened for them.

Heavy crop from a 8x10 Velvia 50 slide - reproduction ratio is as high as bellows would allow, so very close to 1:1.
The film expired in 2001 but came out very good - it appears a little fogged because I forgot to account for reciprocity but this cleaned up very well via exposure correction during scanning.
Shot in a Foldio 2 lightbox. I didn't spot the scan as I intend to rescan it once I've figured out a better film holder solution, for now it's just a 1.5mm thich piece of cardboard with a whole cut in the middle.
Trying to get this finished for one of my daughters. I've been agonising over the design for weeks and finally settled on one. It looks like a kaleidoscope which suits her to a tea.
