On July 3, 2017, I photographed this Black-headed Parrot (Pionites melanocephalus) in La Macarena, Meta, Colombia. It lives in the canopy, clearings and edges of humid lowland forest. It has a creamy-white belly, apricot-yellow flanks and green wings and back. La Macarena has become an ecotourism destination, above all for Caño Cristales, the river of five colors. The nearby Serranía de la Macarena is an isolated mountain range about 120 kilometers long, separated from the Eastern Andes.
I used a Canon EOS 70D and the EF400mm f/5.6L USM for this one, at 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 500. IUCN lists the Black-headed Parrot as Least Concern with a decreasing population, and the Sierra de la Macarena has been a national natural park since 1971, protecting 6,200 square kilometers where Amazon, Orinoco and Andean wildlife meet.

hola zomberos...oberato da mille scadenze, e da mille esami....rieccomi qui a pensare che forse la corsa verso il fondo del campo è un continuo passare la palla all'indietro, piu' si avanza piu' si passa all'indietro.
Grandiosa metafora di vita il rugby, la fatica come valore, il sudore come simbolo del sacrificio, la squadra come senso della comunità alla quale nessuno puo' prescindere, la palla ovale...curiosa e imprevedibile nei suoi rimbalzi....
C'è molta vita nel rugby, c'è molta essenza di se stessi, c'è molta voglia di fare, c'è molto essere uno e 15.
Amo questo sport di contatto fisico e di tattica, di gambe e cervello, di potenza e agilità.
Scavare con le mani il terreno, mangiare l'erba per raggiungere l'obiettivo, spingere come ossessi per sfondare l'ostacolo, tutto ciò è Vita dal profondo, è quotidianità di noi poveri mortali, e il passare quella linea bianca, sudati e affranti è una delle piu' belle esperienze che si possano provare.
buena vita zomberos..
ps. non è finito
Yesterday I made the drive up to Kentucky to see my brother and his family. This is a photo of them looking at old family photos while I was there.
I've been slowly scanning old prints to create an archive of my Dad's side of the family as well as our own immediate household growing up. The entire collection stands at 800+ scanned images, plus an assortment of newer digital photos.
I've already got a big start on scanning and organizing photos from my Mom's side of the family, and hope to pull that collection together soon. Of course these things are an ongoing story, but I wanted to make sure my nieces and nephews have a record of where they came from.

Estas arañas viven todo el año en cuevas, pozos de minas y sótanos excavados en la roca. Por ello, esta araña ha sido también elegida 'animal cavernícola del año 2012'.

Although adjacent to Sorrento, Meta's postal address is under Napoli.

A couple is married in the Dormition Cathedral in Kyiv, capital of Ukraine, crowned as kings and queens according to Orthodox tradition.
Kyiv’s Dormition Cathedral (Ukrainian: Успенський собор) was originally built in 1073–8 during the golden age of Kievan Rus’. At the end of the 11th century many additions to the cathedral were built, with more cupolas and decorative elements in the Cossack Baroque style added in the 17th Century.
In the 1930s, Stalin had flattened any church in Kyiv he could find and excuse for, and although the Dormition Cathedral survived that, it was blown up by the Red Army in its scorched earth operation of 16-17 September 1941 in advance of the Nazi German capture of the city, along with much of the city centre. After Ukrainian independence, reconstruction of the cathedral began in 1998 and was completed in time for its reconsecration during the Ukrainian Independence Day ceremonies in August 2000. This frenetic pace saw the work completed without serious scientific research and using modern materials. Restoration work continues on the cathedral’s interior.
Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра; Russian: Киeво-Печерская лавра), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, was founded as a cave monastery in 1051, since which time it has usually been a preeminent centre of Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral a few kilometres away, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among others, the remains of Imperial Prime Minister Peter Stolypin, assassinated at the Opera in the city centre, lie at rest here.
While remaining a major cultural and tourist attraction, the monastery has been active again as a religious community since the 1980s, having been shut down by the Soviet authorities in 1928 and turned into a museum-park. Nowadays, there are now over 100 monks in residence.
According to the Primary Chronicle, in the early 11th century, Anthony, an Orthodox monk from Esphigmenon monastery on Mount Athos, originally from Liubech of the Principality of Chernihiv, returned to Rus' and settled in Kiev as a missionary of monastic tradition to Kievan Rus'. He chose a cave at the Berestov Mount that overlooked the River Dnipro and a community of disciples soon grew. Prince Iziaslav I of Kiev ceded the whole mount to the Anthonite monks who founded a monastery built by architects from Constantinople.
Currently, the jurisdiction over the site is divided between the state museum, National Kyiv-Pechersk Historic-Cultural Preserve, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate as the site of the chief monastery of that Church and the residence of its leader, Onufrius, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine.
