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 Church of the Nativity, or Basilica of the Nativity is a basilica located in Bethlehem in the Palestinian West Bank. The grotto it contains holds a prominent religious significance to Christians of various denominations as the birthplace of Jesus. The grotto is the oldest site continuously used as a place of worship in Christianity, and the basilica is the oldest major church in the Holy Land.
The church was originally commissioned by Constantine the Great a short time after his mother Helena's visit to Jerusalem and Bethlehem in 325-326, on the site that was traditionally considered to be the birthplace of Jesus.[3][4] That original basilica was likely built between 330-333, being already mentioned in 333, and was dedicated on 31 May 339. It was destroyed by fire during the Samaritan revolts of the sixth century, possibly in 529, and a new basilica was built a number of years later by Byzantine Emperor Justinian (r. 527-565), who added a porch or narthex, and replaced the octagonal sanctuary with a cruciform transept complete with three apses, but largely preserved the original character of the building, with an atrium and a basilica consisting of a nave with four side aisles.
The Church of the Nativity, while remaining basically unchanged since the Justinianic reconstruction, has seen numerous repairs and additions, especially from the Crusader period, such as two bell towers (now gone), wall mosaics and paintings (partially preserved). Over the centuries, the surrounding compound has been expanded, and today it covers approximately 12,000 square meters, comprising three different monasteries: one Greek Orthodox, one Armenian Apostolic, and one Roman Catholic, of which the first two contain bell towers built during the modern era.
The silver star marking the spot where Christ was born was stolen in 1847. Some assert that this was a contributing factor in the Crimean War against the Russian Empire. Others assert that the war grew out of the wider European situation.
Since 2012, the Church of the Nativity is a World Heritage Site and was the first to be listed by UNESCO under 'Palestine'.
A 250-year-old understanding among religious communities, the Status Quo, applies to the site.

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

Compilation of the Krautrock label Ohr, published in 1971. 2 LPs, both good, particularly the second one, which has mostly instrumental tracks that are unusually experimental and long for a compilation. Some of them, however, have been cut shorter. Well, they had to make some compromise, I guess. Annexus Quam is gigantic.
I have another Ohr compilation, called Ohrenschmaus, with similar music. But I don't like its cover so I won't post it on Flickr.

“Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon round it.”
Traditional English Nursery Rhyme, published in 1842, but sung for centuries beforehand.
I don’t know if you know the nursery rhyme about Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher above, but it was so much a part of my childhood, that I still know the words and the tune all these years later. What I didn’t know was the much more adult, scandalous and true story that is about Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher and the infamous pocket that Lucy Locket lost, which Kitty Fisher found.
You might be wondering what a pocket means in the rhyme. Historically, the term "pocket" referred to a pouch worn around the waist by women in the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries. Skirts or dresses of the time had an opening at the waistline to allow access to the pocket which hung around the woman's waist by a ribbon or tape. The opening in the skirt was formed by leaving unstitched, near the waist, the panels of fabric for the skirt. Fabrics could be around twenty inches wide, so seaming the selvedges offered a reliable opportunity for an opening. Corresponding opening in the panels of fabric forming the petticoat underneath.
Now for the scandalous truth of Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher. In Georgian London of the Eighteenth Century, prostitution was rife and one of the most famous courtesans at the time was Catherine Maria "Kitty" Fisher. Originally a milliner, but after seeing how much more money she could make and how much more fun she could have making it, inside and outside the boudoir, Kitty decided to take matters into her own hands and made a career change. Aside from her more notable talents, Kitty was also known for her "clever and witty conversation", and her light-hearted antics, including reportedly eating "a thousand-pound banknote on her bread and butter". The second harlot in the rhyme, is Lucy Locket a barmaid at Ye Olde Cock Tavern in Fleet Street. Lucy Locket had regular customers also known as "pockets". She had one pocket who obviously liked her services a little too much, as he quickly ran out of money and was dumped by Lucy. He then turned his attention to Kitty and hence she "found the pocket" and since he was broke, there was not a penny in it. The ribbon refers to the custom among prostitutes to keep their bank notes tied to their thigh with a ribbon. So, the nursery rhyme of Lucy Locket, is all about Kitty taunting Lucy for dumping her lover and her taking him on. Fancy that!
This true story about Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher, and the nursery rhyme itself inspired me to create this image. So here are our two ladies of the night in their fine Georgian pomaded wigs, brightly coloured plumes and elegant dresses as two German half-dolls Lucy Locket is on the right with a slightly distracted look on her face, whilst Kitty Fisher on the left is more attentive towards the lost pocket which is a small blue coin purse I was given, and woven through this little assemblage is an embroidered cotton ribbon that came from a slow stitching kit I bought. The scene is displayed on some beautiful Art Nouveau rose patterned fabric that was sent to me from Dorset by a friend a few months ago.
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my two beautifully hand painted German half-doll with her Eighteenth Century finery, would have been made for a lady’s boudoir. They are two of my larger half-dolls at nine centimetres in height, so I imagine they would have probably been a topper for a jewellery box, brush or pincushion.

The New York Times Ethicist recently published a "ruling" on the ethics of AI generative art. He was responding to a person who wanted to use an Etsy image but was concerned the seller was profiting off the work of artists used to train generative AI. The Ethicist pointed out that artists have always stood on the shoulders of other artists, an argument that resonates with me. The image you see here is not simply the result of prompting an image in Midjourney because I made quite a few changes to it in Kira, using the Stable Diffusion plugin and using my digital painting skills and tools (like rearranging the chickens, recreating the woman in the distance, giving the man a hat etc.). But my influence on the image goes deeper. I used Midjourney's personalize parameter to generate images that reflect my aesthetic, color choices, brush work, level of detail and so on. The training was simple. I was given four thousand sets of widely diverse images and told to choose one of them. In other words, this is my unconscious "style." Unconscious because I did not deliberately tell Midjourney everything I prefer when I am painting. And in the act of grabbing from the gush of images this personalization parameter produced, I chose this image. Probably because I have re-discovered NC Wyeth who is famous for his illustrations of the old childhood novel "Treasure Island." He influences how I use illustration to tell stories. And Edward Hopper influences the mood of my work. And Norman Rockwell. Did Rockwell absorb NC Wyeth? I think so. Caravaggio gives my work its lighting. And perhaps NC Wyeth's son Andrew suffused my work. He taught me how to pay attention to the world immediately around me. And perhaps to some degree hundreds of more artists famous and obscure seen in museums, art workshops, videos and Internet images. In fact I have produced over 800 images of the Ravensway world using this amazing productive power of AI. A world that has storytelling power.

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!
This collage for the group, Flower themes, is dedicated to the beauty of late summer meadows. In Ontario, asters and goldenrod bring glory to forgotten corners of the landscape in August, September, and even October if warm weather holds on.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

------------------------
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and agencies. The island is administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. It is also emerging among the top destinations for tranquility and nightlife.
White Beach, the main tourism beach, is about four kilometres long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about two kilometres, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself.
Boracay was awarded as the 2012 best island in the world from the international travel magazine Travel + Leisure. In 2016, the resort island was at the top of the Best Islands in the World list published by the international magazine Condé Nast Traveler
Wheatfield.
Midsummer:
the blue of the sky stretches
from horizon to horizon,
fading from intense cerulean overhead,
to a gentle haze closest to the plain’s edge.
The wheat field gleams
golden in the noon light,
vast as a prairie,
the ears heavy,
bending
under their own productivity.
That was then.
Now,
in early spring, there is still snow in the north,
the pristine whiteness mired in mud,
and blood,
churned by tanks, craters, artillery,
pits blown apparently randomly,
deep and water-logged,
recalling the almost forgotten horrors
of Ypres and Passchendaele.
The woodlands give little cover,
the trees split, twigs scattered.
No birds sing.
No seeds have been planted.
The only yield will be that of death
and destruction…
yet still the flag flutters
optimistically,
hopefully,
heroically,
echoing the blue and yellow,
of sky and land:
the colours of peace.
