Last year, during a summer morning walk at Bolsa Chica wetlands, I came across a bird that surprised me. It had a bright yellow underbelly but was too large to be a common yellowthroat, which is the local yellow bird in these parts. It also had a peculiar call that I hadn’t heard before. I was stumped on the bird's ID, but the Merlin app came to the rescue and identified it as a yellow-breasted chat. The name surprised me since I had only seen chats in YouTube videos from Europe, and I hadn’t realized there was one on this side of the Atlantic. Even though the lighting conditions were atrocious that day, I was excited to photograph a bird I hadn’t even known existed before that morning.

"Hidden Gem"
Me and Rebecca have visited these falls a few times now and it is a relatively quiet area. I wouldn't call the falls easy to get to with a few steep sections to access them. Theres even a cave that i didn't dare venture to far into!
The local news site for North Wales recently published an article about the area, describing it as a hidden gem. No doubt it will get a few extra visitors. Lovely article filled with history about the area but only one sentence about how tricky it is to access the falls/ caves is a bit irresponsible.

The lesser flamingo (Phoenicoparrus minor) is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, with another population in India. Birds are occasionally reported from further north, but these are generally considered vagrants. It was moved from the genus Phoeniconaias to Phoenicoparrus in 2014.
The lesser flamingo is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is a tall and large bird by most standards. The species can weigh from 1.2 to 2.7 kg (2.6 to 6.0 lb). The standing height is around 80 to 90 cm (31 to 35 in). The total length (from beak to tail) and wingspan are in the same range of measurements, from 90 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in). Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, the only other Old World species of flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. Size is less helpful unless the species are together, since the sexes of each species also differ in height.
The lesser flamingo may be the most numerous species of flamingo, with a population that (at its peak) probably numbered up to two million individual birds. This species feeds primarily on Spirulina, algae which grow only in very alkaline lakes. Presence of flamingo groups near water bodies is indication of sodic alkaline water which is not suitable for irrigation use. Although blue-green in colour, the algae contain the photosynthetic pigments that give the birds their pink colour. Their deep bill is specialised for filtering tiny food items.

Lake Amboseli is located in the Nyiri Desert (also called Taru or Nyika Desert ) that stretches along southern border of Kenya and Tanzania. The name ‘lake’ is a bit of a misnomer as for most of the year all it is is a massive flat desert pan with no water in it, except after extended rains, when it becomes an alkaline lake.
I had a longer than usual visit there last Sunday--I seemed to be the only one there, despite the better-than-predicted weather.

——————-
The Taj Mahal Mosque serves two purposes, first, it was obligatory according to the Muslim law for each mausoleum to have a place of worship nearby; second, the mosque and a mirror image of the mosque, a guest house that stands on the opposite side of it, together provide a perfect symmetrical balance to the architecture of whole of Taj Mahal. Used for prayer purpose, the mosque faces the direction of the holy city of Mecca and is believed to have been built by Isa Mohammad.

Cette biche est apparue lors d’un affût dans le Vercors (19 juin), 15 minutes après mon arrivée. Elle est venue si proche qu’elle a entendu le déclencheur de mon vieil appareil photo. J’ai regretté d’avoir pris ces photos, car même si elle n’avait pas l’air d’entendre les premiers clichés, elle a fini par entendre le 3ᵉ. Je m’en suis beaucoup voulue, car je déteste ça, et pour moi, une photo qui a dérangé un animal est une photo partiellement ratée. Elle est donc partie en criant (d’ailleurs, c’est impressionnant, la puissance de la voix d’une biche — c’était la première fois pour moi).
Je lui ai demandé pardon trois ou quatre fois à voix très basse, en lui demandant de revenir (oui, je parle aux animaux sauvages, il faut de tout pour faire un monde !). Elle s’est rapprochée, arrivant sur ma droite, mais elle ne regardait pas dans la bonne direction : elle n’avait pas l’air si inquiet, mais plutôt curieux. Je l’ai entendue pendant plusieurs minutes, car elle continuait sa vie dans le bois, j’entendais ses pas. Mais 30 minutes plus tard, alors que je m’étais promis de ne plus toucher à mon appareil parce que la forêt était trop silencieuse, elle est revenue ! Elle ne m’a pas vue et j’ai pu être encore plus proche d’elle : environ 10 ou 12 mètres pendant une ou deux minutes. Pas de photo, comme promis ! Bon, c’était facile à dire, car j’avais déjà fait son portrait. J’avoue qu’au début, j’ai eu du mal à résister, malgré l’éthique que j’essaye toujours de suivre, car c’était ce fameux soir, la veille de mon anniversaire, et je rêvais de faire un portrait de cervidé dans ce bois.
Voilà l’histoire de cette photo. (On voit la terre au bout de la plante qu’elle mange.)
Le plus souvent, j’enregistre avec un micro-cravate mes sorties, et là , c’était le cas, donc on entend toute la scène : les bruits de pas, le déclenchement (cinq photos), les cris de la biche, puis à nouveau ses pas et son retour… Je le diffuserai peut-être sur ma chaîne YouTube en podcast (quoique j’ai des dizaines d’heures d’audios non publiés).

This red deer appeared during a wildlife watch in the Vercors (June 19), fifteen minutes after I arrived. She came so close that she heard the shutter of my old camera. I regretted taking those photos, because even though she didn’t seem to hear the first few shots, she ended up hearing the third and fourth ones. I felt really bad about it, because I hate disturbing animals, and to me, a photo that bothers an animal is a partially failed one. She ran off calling out (by the way, the power of a red deer’s voice is impressive — it was a first for me).
I whispered an apology to her three or four times, asking her to come back (yes, I talk to wild animals — it takes all sorts to make a world!). She came closer, arriving from my right, but she wasn’t looking in the right direction: she didn’t seem that scared, more curious. I could hear her for several minutes as she went about her life in the woods, I heard her footsteps. But thirty minutes later, after I had promised myself not to touch my camera again because the forest was so silent, she came back! She didn’t see me and I managed to get even closer: around 10 or 12 meters away for one or two minutes. No photo this time, as promised! Well, it was easy to stick to that since I had already taken her portrait. I admit it was hard to resist at first, despite the ethics I always try to follow, because it was that special evening — the day before my birthday — and I had dreamed of capturing a deer portrait in that forest.
That’s the story behind this photo. (You can see soil at the end of the plant she’s eating.)
Most of the time, I record my outings with a lavalier mic, and this time I did too — so the whole scene is captured: the footsteps, the shutter sounds (five shots), the doe’s calls, then her footsteps again and her return… I might publish it on my YouTube channel as a podcast (though I have dozens of hours of unpublished audio).
Though not perfectly sharp I found the moment so cheerful I just feel the urge to publish this one. Esther knew a place where young foxes were around...after waiting an hour her daughter warned us that she saw something......So the coming days it will be young foxes here... :-)

Apostlebird (one of about twenty that landed in a tree within 5 metres from where I was sitting. They are unbelievably noisy! Not the most attractive bird, but they are real characters of the bush and always scruffy and grubby. They are also a very social bird. They went about their business as if I was not there.)
Scientific Name: Struthidea cinerea
Description: The Apostlebird is a medium-sized dark grey bird with a short strong bill, brown wings and black tail. It is normally seen in groups of six to ten birds, and is usally seen on the ground. It belongs to the group of birds known as 'mud-nesters', the Family Corcoracidae, noted for their communal life style and their bowl nests constructed of mud and plant fibres.
Similar species: The Apostlebird is often found in association with the White-winged Chough, which belongs to the same family and has similar habits (communal living, mud nests, ground-foraging). However the White-winged Chough is quite distinctive, being black with white wing panels visible in flight, as well as having a long curved beak and a bright red eye.
Distribution: The Apostlebird is found in eastern Australia in inland areas from lower Cape York Peninsula, Queensland to northern Victoria and from Naracoorte to Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. There is also an isolated population in the Elliott and Katherine areas, Northern Territory.
Habitat: The Apostlebird is found in open dry forests and woodlands near water. It may also be found in farmlands with trees, as well as along roadsides, in orchards and on golf courses
Seasonal movements: Sedentary, with some local movements to more open areas in autumn and winter.
Feeding: The Apostlebird usually eats seeds and vegetable matter, insects and other invertebrates and, sometimes, small vertebrates. In autumn and winter, it will move to more open country, where seeds become the more important part of its diet. The Apostlebird forages on the ground in groups, often in association with the White-winged Chough. The Apostlebird can also be known as the 'Grey Jumper', for its hopping gait and, because it lives in groups, it can be known collectively as the 'Happy Family' or the 'Twelve Apostles'.
Breeding: Apostlebirds form a 'breeding unit' of around ten related birds - a dominant male and several females plus immature birds (the previous season's young) that act as helpers. The nest is a large mud bowl, placed on a horizontal branch 3 - 20 m high, and reinforced and lined with grass. All members of a group assist with nest building, as well as feeding of nestlings, while only the adults usually incubate the eggs. More than one female may lay eggs in the same nest. While many eggs may be laid usually only four nestlings will survive to fledge, with numbers possibly restricted by the size of the nest. Two broods may be raised in a season.
Calls: Rough, scratchy, discordant: 'ch-kew ch-kew'; also: nasal 'git-out' when disturbed.
Minimum Size: 29cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 31cm
Average weight: 128g
Breeding season: August to March
Clutch Size: Two to five; more when more than one female lays
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 18 days

Miyajima island is where the Floating Torii is found. The famous 16 metre tall torii is the eighth from the period of Heian, and was constructed in 1875.
The torii of Itsukushima Shrine is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions, and the view of the gate in front of the island's Mount Misen is classified as one of the Three Best Views of Japan.
The gate only appears to be floating at high tide; when the tide is low, the gate is surrounded by mud and can be accessed on foot from the island.
En la isla de Miyajima se encuentra el "Torii flotante". El famoso torii de 16 metros de alto es el octavo a partir del periodo Heian y fue construido en 1875.
La puerta del Santuario de Itsukushima es una de las atracciones turÃsticas más populares de Japón, y el paisaje del torii delante del Monte Misen está considerado como una de las tres mejores vistas de Japón.
El torii parece flotar solamente cuando hay marea alta; cuando la marea está baja, el torii está rodeado por el fango y se puede acalzar a pie desde la isla.

Lately I have published images of the work I have been developing with Livio Korobase and Venus Adored.
This is a performance designed for a collaborative virtual environment, a three-dimensional online space where you can be present with others using avatars.
Together, using these three avatars and interactive digital artifacts, we designed a digital performance with sound from Gianni Maroccolo.
On September 25th, this work will be presented at Maus Hábitos, Porto, Portugal, as part of the Performances Show | Acesso Vertigem # 2 and integrated in The Avatar as Performer - Gamebox session, as a screen capture video.
This kind of video looks like 3D animations, but in this case it's about capturing a performative moment of three artists in different countries (Portugal, Italy and the Netherlands) together in telepresence. Recently more popularised through video games, we call these video captures machinimas.

My first paying gig! Like a lot of us I've allowed a few of my photos to be used in everything from online travel sites to small magazines to album covers. However, it wasn't until SKI magazine contacted me about using my photo of Dome Peak that I was actually offered cold cash for any of my work. In the Feb '09 issue they are running a short blurb on the Ptarmigan Traverse, a legendary alpine traverse in the Washington Cascades. If you've ever wanted to get out there, off trail, crossing glaciers and rambling over all sorts of mountain terrain, I highly urge you to put the traverse way up there on your list! This photo was taken in '05 from White Rock Lakes, probably the most visually stunning, not to mention difficult to access, campsite along the traverse. In the background is Dome peak and our next day's route took us through the glaciated col just right of center. Another interesting note is the photo was taken with an old 3.2 MP Canon A300!
