Sacred Kingfisher
≠==============≠
Another from the soft backdrop series with the 300mm f/2.8
I put some on the blog today.
A brief visit to the South New Brighton Estuary produced a nice result today. I have been trying to capture images like this of the Kotare / Kingfisher for quite some time. Today was the day 😀. I didn't try to follow as it flew from the tree into the water as my plan was to shoot it as it comes up with it's prey. Mission accomplished .
Datura is a genus of highly poisonous vespertine-flowering plants in the Nightshade family. There are several species of Datura, but pictured here is Datura wrightii, colloquially known as Sacred Datura, native to the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico.
Datura plants – both Datura wrightii, and other varieties – contain toxic quantities of tropane alkaloids like scopolamine and atropine. Substantial ingestion of Datura results in anticholinergic syndrome; function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is blocked, resulting in a series of symptoms ranging from psychosis to hyperthermia to temporary blindness. The symptoms of anticholinergic syndrome are described by the medical mnemonic “Blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, hot as a hare, dry as a bone, the bowel and bladder lose their tone, and the heart runs alone.” Ingestion of Datura can be lethal.
That doesn’t stop some people, often teenagers, from ingesting it though, because hey, psychoactive plant! But apparently it is the Worst. Drug. Ever. I once heard it described by a Youtuber as “The Psychedelic that Only Gives Bad Trips.” A foray into the Datura Trip Reports section of Erowid.org features Trip Report titles such as “24 Hours of Madness”, “Three Unpleasant Days,” “Imaginary Friends May Not Be Nice”, “Vague, Unreal, and Unpleasant,” “The Depths of Delirium Sucked”, “Complete Retrograde Amnesia”, “Loss of Coordination Entirely”, and “Oblivion in the Worst Possible Sense.”
Clearly ingesting Datura isn’t advisable. If you wish to unlock its mysteries, I would recommend sitting with it and asking it what it wants to tell you rather than consuming it. But if you want to get wild and crazy, maybe touch it and end up with a horrible case of contact dermatitis* like me. :)
*Note that it isn’t known to give contact dermatitis universally, only to sensitive individuals; I’m allergic to almost everything on God’s Green Earth, so it’s not surprising I had a reaction. That being said, apparently touching it with an open sore can be No Bueno.
On a drive from Cusco into the Sacred Valley in Peru. The Sacred Valley is a region in Peru's Andean highlands that includes fertile farmlands, Spanish colonial villages, and impressive evidence of the former Inca Empire.
Sacred Kingfisher

He was providing regular food runs for the sitting female.
He had several regular perch sites near the nest and would fly in, announce his presence and drop down to the opening. Usually he didn't enter, but she'd take it from his beak in the opening.

Sacred Kingfisher
≠======================≠
On a near 40c day, in a very oppressive forest wtih little relief from the heat, which is captured under the tree canopy, this Kiingfisher was panting and trying to find some cooler shady spot to rest.
With a name like Kingfisher, you'd think they might spend time in the water.
Sacred Kingfisher eats mostly a wide variety of invertebrates they only occassionally take very small fish, or frogs.
I spent time with a pair of obliging Sacred Kingfishers hunting on a farm roadside next to the Snowy River. They demolished an amazing amount of crickets, dragonflies and spiders. Here was one prized 8-legged catch. It looked particularly juicy.

One of a pair that in between keeping well fed, were looking for a suitable nesting site.
Sevilla city is all about history of Spain and also its about deep Christian faith.
Recently I have been spent some family holidays in this beautiful and mesmerizing city and fortunately I was able to put in images a little piece of its charm. This is a good exaple of it.

Navajo Mountain is on the skyline to the left side of the image. According to Navajo oral traditions, Navajo Mountain and Rainbow Bridge are integral parts of the creation story cycle.
After forming the six most sacred mountains–Mount Taylor, Blanca Peak, San Francisco Peaks, Hesperus Peak, Gobernador Knob and Huerfano Mountain–the First People created several more important peaks.
Although Navajo Mountain isn’t one of the six most sacred mountains, the peak does carry such significance that traditional Navajos still refuse to climb the mountain above the lower elevations.
Traditional Navajos believe these mountains and their spirits can help cure the sick, protect the people and bring rain.
