Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) - one of two relatively young brothers traveling together in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa. They caused a big stir with our rangers and trackers, as they are not frequently seen in this area. There are large prides of lions and the terrain is marshy and not supportive of cheetah's style of hunting. It is surmised they left their mom and were wandering the reserves around Kruger NP looking for territory to call their own. We encountered them over several days and there will be more pictures to recount our adventures with them.

Also known as Rüppell's Griffon Vulture, this species was given an IUCN status of critically endangered in 2015. Only eight years prior, in 2007, its IUCN status was "near threatened", and it was subsequently degraded down through "vulnerable" and "endangered" to its current status. The BirdLife International Fact Sheet for this species estimates that there are only 22,000 individuals left in the world. The biggests threats are poisoning (a technique used to kill predators of livestock, this species and other carrion feeders are also impacted), medicinal purposes, and habitat loss. This species is also considered the highest flying bird in the world. There is documented collision with a commercial airliner at 37,000 feet (the bird was sucked into the engine, killing the bird; the engine was shut down and the plane landed safely).

Marstrand is a seaside locality on the Swedish west-coast.y, Sweden. It had 1,319 inhabitants in 2010 and has held city privileges since 1200. The most striking feature about Marstrand is the 17th-century fortress Carlsten, named after King Carl X Gustav of Sweden. The town got its name from its location on the island Marstrandsön.
During the last quarter of the 18th century Marstrand had the free port status, granted by the King Gustav III. Marstrand is a popular sailing resort in summer time. It is also the venue of the annual Match Cup Sweden, a match race sailing competition.

African jacana (Actophilornis africanus). We saw a lot of these really interesting water birds in the delta. They have remarkably long toes and claws, which allow them to walk on floating lily pads and other vegetation. This particular bird seemed somewhat agitated. I don't know whether it didn't like us or was just defending its turf. In any case, it was fun to watch.

Wikipedia: The chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) is a New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America and in southern Canada westwards to the Canadian Prairies. They also breed in the Great Lakes region and in the eastern United States.
The chestnut-sided warbler breeds in Eastern North America, from Saskatchewan to the Maritimes. They overwinter in Central America to northern Colombia, with a confirmed sighting from as far south as Ecuador. While they mainly spend their non-breeding period in Central America, with the highest numbers in Costa Rica, the chestnut-sided warbler does winter in southern parts of Mexico and some north-western parts of South America. These birds are Neotropical migrants, and are very rare vagrants to western Europe.

LOS FOTOGRAFOS ENTIENDEN EL TITULO DE LA FOTO, PERO ALGUNOS FAMILIARES NO. POR ESO HEMOS SIDO LLAMADOS SIMPATICAMENTE POR NUESTRA HERMANA MAYOR COMO "LOS SIN DOLIENTES" JAJAJAJA
Ya lo dije una vez.... ERAMOS CUERDOS COMO LOS DEMAS HASTA EL DIA EN QUE TOMAMOS UNA CAMARA EN LAS MANOS.
AsÍ mi hermana Joalhi dió un brinco como gata barcina y apareció de sorpresa ante la nieve de Yosemite cuando se enteró que había nevado y el cimarrón mayor despertó debajo de una mata de Pimienta en la Cordillera Central ante el aviso de Enrique de que las lluvias, el frío y los vientos del invierno tumbarían las pimientas y yo perdería este momento anhelado de mis adoradas ciguas amarillas- Spindalis dominicensis colgando del ramillete!! Cuando ambos nos reportamos desde nuestros lugares al grupo familiar de los diez hermanos en Wapsap, algunos tragaron en seco, otros torcieron el hocico, otros aplaudieron como mi hermana COCO , otros oraron por nosotros como Ada, pero nuestra hermana mayor que ahora es como nuestra mamá solo atinó a decir....... LOS SIN DOLIENTES ANDAN EN SU MUNDO , YO ME REÍ Y RECORDE A MAMA, LA CUAL ESTOY SEGURO HUBIERA DICHO...... CADA QUIEN CORRE DETRAS DE SU PELOTA, PARA REFERIRSE A LOS JUGADORES DE FUTBOL EN LOS PARTIDOS TELEVISADOS.
Si nos quedamos entre panties y calzoncillos, Yosyta hubiese perdido su foto del gran capitán cubierto de nieve y yo mi serie de la cigua amarilla colgando de las masetas de pimienta, lo que confirma que la fotografía NO ES SUERTE, es estar ahí en el momento oportuno y en el preciso momento de frisar el tiempo en segundos , anteponiendo la resaca de año nuevo, abandonar a la familia y por supuesto quedar sometido a las críticas sociales e inocentadas de una hermana maravillosa como lo es SALVA!!!

Located on the border between Embu das Artes and Cotia, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima is an impressive neo-Gothic temple under the care of the Heralds of the Gospel. Its construction began in 2004 and it was elevated to the status of a Minor Basilica by the Holy See in 2014. One of its great distinctions is that this masterpiece was sponsored by descendants of the Brazilian Imperial Family, adding a touch of nobility and history to the site. Furthermore, its bells come from the renowned French foundry Fonderie Paccard, the first of their kind to be installed in Brazil. A setting of faith and royalty that provided me with these unforgettable snapshots.
Localizada na divisa entre Embu das Artes e Cotia, a Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima é um impressionante templo em estilo neogótico sob os cuidados dos Arautos do Evangelho. Sua construção começou em 2004 e foi elevada à condição de Basílica Menor pela Santa Sé em 2014. Um dos seus grandes diferenciais é que esta obra de arte foi patrocinada por descendentes da Família Imperial Brasileira, adicionando um toque de nobreza e história ao local. Além disso, seus sinos são da renomada fundição francesa Fonderie Paccard, os primeiros a serem instalados no Brasil. Um cenário de fé e realeza que me proporcionou esses cliques inesquecíveis.

Sa construction a débuté en 2004 et elle a été élevée au rang de Basilique mineure par le Saint-Siège en 2014. L'une de ses grandes particularités est que ce chef-d'œuvre a été sponsorisé par des descendants de la Famille Impériale Brésilienne, ajoutant une touche de noblesse et d'histoire au lieu. De plus, ses cloches proviennent de la célèbre fonderie française Fonderie Paccard, les premières à être installées au Brésil. Un décor de foi et de royauté qui m'a offert ces clichés inoubliables.

Situata al confine tra Embu das Artes e Cotia, la Basilica di Nostra Signora del Rosario di Fatima è un imponente tempio in stile neogotico affidato alle cure degli Araldi del Vangelo. La sua costruzione iniziò nel 2004 e fu elevata alla dignità di Basilica minore dalla Santa Sede nel 2014. Uno dei suoi grandi punti di forza è che questo capolavoro è stato patrocinato da discendenti della Famiglia Imperiale Brasiliana, aggiungendo un tocco di nobiltà e storia al luogo. Inoltre, le sue campane provengono dalla rinomata fonderia francese Fonderie Paccard, le prime del genere ad essere installate in Brasile. Uno scenario di fede e regalità che mi ha regalato questi scatti indimenticabili.
An der Grenze zwischen Embu das Artes und Cotia gelegen, ist die Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau vom Rosenkranz von Fatima ein beeindruckendes neugotisches Gotteshaus unter der Obhut der Herolde des Evangeliums. Der Bau begann im Jahr 2004 und wurde 2014 vom Heiligen Stuhl zur Kleinen Basilika erhoben. Eine ihrer großen Besonderheiten ist, dass dieses Meisterwerk von Nachkommen der Kaiserlichen Familie Brasiliens gefördert wurde, was dem Ort einen Hauch von Adel und Geschichte verleiht. Darüber hinaus stammen ihre Glocken aus der renommierten französischen Gießerei Fonderie Paccard, den ersten, die in Brasilien installiert wurden. Eine Kulisse aus Glaube und Königtum, die mir diese unvergesslichen Schnappschüsse bescherte.
Gelegen op de grens tussen Embu das Artes en Cotia, is de Basiliek van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Rozenkrans van Fatima een indrukwekkende neogotische tempel onder de hoede van de Herauten van het Evangelie. De bouw begon in 2004 en werd in 2014 door de Heilige Stoel verheven tot de status van Kleine Basiliek. Een van zijn grote bijzonderheden is dat dit meesterwerk werd gesponsord door afstammelingen van de Braziliaanse Keizerlijke Familie, wat een vleugje adel en geschiedenis aan de plek toevoegt. Bovendien komen de klokken van de gerenommeerde Franse klokkengieterij Fonderie Paccard, de eerste die in Brazilië werden geïnstalleerd. Een decor van geloof en koningschap dat mij deze onvergetelijke kiekjes opleverde.

Garza Tricolor, Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor)
Status: Common Resident (RC)
The tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), formerly known in North America as the Louisiana heron, is a small heron. It is a resident breeder from the Gulf states of the United States and northern Mexico south through Central America and the Caribbean to central Brazil and Peru. There is some post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.
Tricolored heron's breeding habitat is sub-tropical swamps. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. In each clutch, 3–7 eggs are typically laid.
The tricolored heron stalks its prey in shallow or deeper water, often running as it does so. It eats fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and insects.

I have found the work of some very talented astrophotographers today. their work inspired me to upload this image taken back in October, 2012.
I´ll be travelling within a month, and i think it will be a great opportunity to make more astrophotography. In the mean time i am trying to learn new techniques and getting the necessary equipment to make all this happen.
Looking forward for the moment to come!
