saw this on New-Year's day in Fuerteventura. View On Black

Passing an overcrowded shop with everything displayed outside, I saw this blue net sticking out above the rest. For butterflies or little fish? Or both? LOL...

I wanted to photograph it against the sky so had to go down, and bend and crouch and kneel to get the angle I wanted. People apparently were staring in disbelief, but when Iím composing an image, I forget about everything else!

My challenge was to photograph blue on blue, I love to use the light to bring out the gossamer forms.

It sings of sun and fun and wind and freedom and holiday, that small net high up catching the sun and the wind and the light and my eyeÖ one of my personal favourites from the trip.

Have a fun day and thanx, M, (*_*)

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa.

The largest heron in Europe is a bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast.

The grey heron feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.

Standing up to a metre tall, adults weigh from 1 to 2 kg. They have a white head and neck with a broad black stripe that extends from the eye to the black crest. The body and wings are grey above and the underparts are greyish-white, with some black on the flanks. The long, sharply pointed beak is pinkish-yellow and the legs are brown.

 

De blauwe reiger (Ardea cinerea) is een vogel uit de reigerfamilie. De blauwe reiger is tevens de bekendste vertegenwoordiger van de familie in België en Nederland. De vogel komt daarnaast voor in de gematigde streken van Europa, Azië en delen van Afrika.

De blauwe reiger is een vlees- en viseter die vissen en amfibieën eet, maar ook andere dieren als insecten en kleine zoogdieren worden wel buitgemaakt. De vogel is een veel geziene soort in ondiepe plekken van stadssingels en poldersloten en in weilanden; de reiger wordt vliegend gezien langs grachten, beken en bij meren; de broedkolonies bevinden zich midden in de stad in hoge bomen of juist in volstrekt afgelegen bospercelen.

De blauwe reiger zoekt in stedelijke gebieden regelmatig de rand van tuinvijvers op, waarin vissen rondzwemmen. Door liefhebbers van goudvissen of koi wordt de reiger dan ook beschouwd als een plaagsoort en wordt zo veel mogelijk geweerd. In strenge winters hebben de blauwe reigers het zichtbaar moeilijk. Een blauwe reiger wordt gemiddeld 5 jaar oud.

De blauwe reiger is een grote vogel met een lengte van ongeveer 90 à 98 cm en kan een lichaamsgewicht bereiken van 1 à 2 kg. Het mannetje en het vrouwtje zien er ongeveer hetzelfde uit. Beide geslachten hebben een grijze bovenzijde, vleugels en staart en de vleugeleinden zijn zwart. De kop is wit met een zwarte band door het oog, die doorloopt in een kuif. Ook de hals heeft een witte kleur maar is voorzien van lengtestrepen aan de voorzijde. De buikzijde is grotendeels lichtgrijs van kleur. De kop draagt een gele, dolkvormige snavel. De poten zijn lang en bruin van kleur en net als de snavel roodachtig.

gotta get out

This old net loft or processing plant overlooks the small boat harbour of Rough Bay on Malcolm Island. It appears to still be in use to some extent, where others nearby are definitely beyond use as they are or have collapsed over time. This is a working harbour with a long history of fishing and boat building.

One of the most intriguing textiles we saw being made here are the rugs that are fabricated from old used salmon gill nets - possibly out of this net loft. We were told that currently there are only two industrious ladies on island who make these rugs. They are very beautiful and the one lady who had some in her shop wasn’t sure she was ready to sell them yet as the nets she made them from were over 100 years old. They take hours and hours of time and patience to make she said.

Heart’s eye

Probes past

Bone and blood,

Brother and border,

Sees the You in Me.

The stardust spectrum

Of each of our lights

Reflects the spectacles

Donned to glimpse

This new dawn’s creation.
