El Pavo Real, es quizá uno de los animales mas exóticos y admirados por el mundo entero, debido a la espectacular cola que tienen los machos y que maravillan a todos a desplegarla. Es una de las dos especies del Género Pavo y pertenece a la familia de los Phasianidae.
Nombre Popular: Pavo Real
Nombre CientÃfico: Pavo cristatus
Clase: Aves Galliforme
Género: Pavo
Familia: Phasianidae
CaracterÃsticas:
El pavo real es un ave muy territorial, muy poco volador, ya que solo vuela para subirse a algún árbol donde permanecerá quieto para pasar la noche.
El Pavo Real macho, en edad adulta puede llegar a pesar hasta 5 kilogramos aproximadamente, mientras que la hembra adulta, alcanza un peso estimado de 3 kilogramos. Asà mismo, el pavo real macho puede medir hasta casi dos metros y medio de longitud, mientras que la hembra, sólo la mitad.
Su esperanza de vida es aproximadamente de 15 años, sin embargo se encuentran registrados casos de poco mas de 20 años de edad.
Existen diferencias en cuanto a plumaje y color entre el pavo rea macho y hembra. El primero tiene un plumaje azul en la cabeza, y alrededor de ella se encuentra el hermoso copete de plumas de colores azules y verdes, que despliega en circunstancias en que se quiere defender, marcando su territorio, e incluso para atraer a la hembra. Este copete solo puede abrirlo a partir de los 3 años de edad, y como el plumaje va cambiando en época de otoño el macho se quede sin este atractivo. Cabe destacar, sin embargo que ese abanico de plumas no es la cola del animal, la cola por lo general pasa desapercibida.
La hembra, por su parte se caracteriza por tener un plumaje de color ceniciento, blanco, con algunas tonalidades verdes cerca del cuello.
Ambos generan un sonido particular, similar al maullido de un gato.
you ever feel like your inside of a dream, man?
not so much, dude, why?
I dunno. something about today, it seems like a dream. like I could jump off those rocks and not get hurt, because I'll just wake up.
are you on something? this is like, reality, ok?
how do you know that? maybe you, and all this, are just in my mind.
your fucked up mind, you mean.
yeah, probably.
so you got any more?
of what?
you know.
you want some?
absolutely.
A litle real Winter!
At least a bit of snow! Perhaps 5cm. And a sunny day. So I skipped office and went out. No special pictures, but hey, I was exited like a little boy.
This photo is real...and it's not. And that is always the debate for any digital photographer:
where does processing cross the line? how are photography and art related? Is photography
EVER a true capture of all that we see? (it is not since the camera"sees" far less light than the human eye).
During the afternoon at Bosque, I noticed that there was a lot of dust in the atmosphere.
I captured the silhouettes of these sandies in flight. Alas! They were flying towards the sun
and I totally whited out on the left side of this photo! So I took more than a little artistic license
Enjoy! Laura
These two really got engaged during this photosession. He had been planning it for months and I got to be apart of it all. She had no idea it was coming, and I am SO blessed to have witnessed the whole thing!

He viajado por todo el mundo, tengo amigos de todas las religiones; conozco gente extraña: católicos, religiosos pecando y asistiendo a misa puntualmente, pregonando lo que no son, personas que devoran al prójimo con su lengua e intolerancia, médicos que están peor que sus pacientes, gente millonaria pero infeliz, seres que se pasan el dÃa quejándose, que se reúnen con familia o amigos los domingos para quejarse por turnos, gente que ha hecho de la estupidez su manera de vivir.

Real Playa — No, no, this isn't the name of the next rap hit from Drake, nor is it pronounced the same way, but for us it's an original playa. This playa photo is from Surprise Valley in California and, in the distance, you can see the Warner Mountain Range.
So what's a playa? A playa is a dry, vegetation-free, flat area at the lowest part of an undrained desert basin. It is a location where ephemeral lakes form during wet periods, and is underlain by stratified clay, silt, and sand, and commonly, soluble salts. Playas occur in intermountain basins throughout the arid southwestern United States. Although playas may appear as featureless plains, they are rich in features and characteristics that can reveal information about climates, past and present. Many playas in the Mojave region were the location of lakes and marshes during the last glacial period. These perennial water bodies completely dried up about 8,000 years ago. Today they flood only after seasonal storms provide flash flood waters, or in some cases, springs discharge large quantities of groundwater onto the playa. Photo credit: Jonathan Glen, USGS.
