PRESENTACION
Did some scouting today targeting these guys. At the tail end of my route I found 3 fledglings chattering in the shady tree area. I approached slowly and got some nice close ups. A nice bonus after finding a couple adults earlier.
Haces que mi cielo
vuelva a tener ese azul,
pintas de colores
mis mañanas solo tú
navego entre las olas de tu voz
y tú, y tú, y tú, y solamente tú
haces que mi alma se despierte con tu luz
Voglio, avrò
se non qui,
in altro luogo che ancora non so.
Niente ho perduto.
Tutto sarò.

The Osprey was searching the small lake for an easy meal. Even after this attempt the Opsrey circled a few more times and was a repeat visitor over serveral days.
A volte mi capita di tornare, col pensiero, agli anni della mia giovinezza e, fra le molte cose che affollano la memoria, una fra tutte è stata una costante, immancabile...la musica.
Eravamo ingenui e, per quel che mi riguarda, un po campagnoli. Non si ascoltava la musica classica, si proveniva da ambienti poco avvezzi e poi erano gli anni del '68. Si era affascinati dalle band, sia d'oltre oceano che casalinghe, ma qualunque musica fosse, mi rendo conto di esserne stato accompagnato come da una colonna sonora che ha sottolineato tanti momenti importanti della mia giovane (allora) vita. Mi commuovevo per certi pezzi di Lucio Battisti e mi perdevo dietro a gruppi come i New Trolls e alla fantastica voce di Nico Di Palo. In seguito arrivarono anche De Andrè e Guccini, ma i miei quindici anni ascoltarono canzoni meno impegnate che, forse, toccavano più a fondo l'anima di un quindicenne del '68.
Qualche volta, con Giampiero e gli altri amici si provava a strimpellarle...
Tantos desiertos que crucé
tantos atajos esquivé
tantas batallas que pintaron mis heridas
tantos incendios provoqué
tantos fracasos me probé
que no me explico como canto todavía
y es que siempre voy detrás de lo que siento
cada tanto muero y aquí estoy...
Por esos días por venir
por este brindis para mí
por regalarle a la intuición al alma mía
porque los días se nos van
quiero cantar hasta el final
por otra noche como éstas, por mi vida
(...)
Rente às árvores vamos, húmidos humildes
Dizem que é outono. (...)
(Ruy Belo, in "Boca bilingue", Todos os Poemas, vol. I, 2ª ed., Assírio & Alvim, 2004)

Close to the trees we walk, wet humble
They say it's Fall.

Taken last sunday at a Portuguese Flickr Friends meetup. Fun and a lot of misty shots.
Pound nets consist of a fence leader that interrupts the movements of target species and a heart that funnels fish into the trap (pound) via a no return mesh tunnel. The series of nets are anchored to the bottom perpendicular to shore and are set in nearshore areas, with depth often increasing toward the pound.
The netting usually reaches above the waterline with the pound open at the surface. Pound nets are harvested by concentrating the catch in one corner and removing it with a dip net. The leaders may be as long as 1,300 feet (400 meters) with pounds measuring 160 square feet.
Risks to Sea Turtles
Populations of loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and leatherback sea turtles are at risk in areas where pound net fishing is abundant, such as the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters.
Sea turtles may become entangled in any portion of the pound net, most commonly around their head and front flippers. Entanglements can result in bodily injury or drowning.
Entrapment occurs when a sea turtle finds its way into a pound net but cannot get out.
Sea turtles may also become pinned against the netting in a fast moving current and drown if they cannot free themselves.
Risks to Marine Mammals
Small coastal cetacean species, such as bottlenose dolphins, can become entrapped and or entangled in pound nets.
The mesh netting of leaders can act like a gillnet and entangle dolphins. Because the nets are often at or near the surface, cetaceans may be able to breathe until they are released. Once an animal is caught, stress may lead to bodily injury, with strong currents often complicating entanglements.
Bycatch Reduction
Regulations require modified leaders (composed of stiffer materials) to be set more than 10 feet from the low waterline during the summer to reduce turtle bycatch in Virginia. Use of stiffer materials in the leaders has likely lowered dolphin entanglement as well.

An arctic tern eyes up an unsuspecting target passing through its territory on Inner Farne. It was much better to watch this than participate!

ALBERTO GARCÍA-ALIX. AUTORRETRATO
EXPOSICIONES
ALBERTO GARCÍA-ALIX."AUTORRETRATO"
La Virreina Centre de la Imatge acoge la primera gran exposición monográfica dedicada a Alberto García-Alix en Barcelona. García-Alix (León, 1956) es uno de los intérpretes más importantes de la fotografía internacional contemporánea. A través de su obra fotográfica, audiovisual y escrita, el autor nos introduce en una dimensión emocional y autorreferencial que convierte todo su trabajo, mirado en conjunto, en un gran autorretrato expandido.
Esta propuesta expositiva, comisariada por Nicolás Combarro, pretende acercarnos a la comprensión de una parte clave de su obra, marcada por el carácter autobiográfico y por el esfuerzo constante de mirarse, de encontrarse consigo mismo a través del ejercicio fotográfico.
La muestra reúne casi setenta obras, entre fotografías y vídeos, que permiten seguir la evolución de la lectura del concepto de autorretrato que García-Alix realiza a lo largo de sus más de treinta años de carrera, trazando una línea que acompaña a la mirada y la vida del autor que se mira y nos mira a través de sus obras, invitándonos a entrar en su particular universo en primera persona.

All my photos nicely presented on black on this very cool site called DARCKR by Laurent HENOQUE
I been tagged by Irena and Emily. I have to answer the following 5 questions regarding photography and tag another 10 contacts.
1. What I like to photograph the most:
Whatever I see through my viewfinder… but seriously, I really don’t know, I’m still trying to find that niche which appeals to me.
2. What I like to photograph the least:
You know when someone says, can you take a picture of us… Any time a sentence starts off that way, I just don’t like to do it because it’s not composed…
I also don’t like to take a picture of a picture (e.g. artwork in a museum) unless I use it selectively with depth.
3. Photography Pet Peeves:
When people take images with tripods that could otherwise be done handheld (and I know they’re not stopped down or taking HDR images too)…
Speaking of which, anyone want to buy my tripod ;-)
4. What I admire from other photographers:
Everything they can do that I can’t!
But I admire and value their sincerity, their willingness to share and not be snobby.
5. What I'd like to learn better:
I don’t own a strobe so the first item on my list is lighting!
Also: fashion photography, creative manipulation, portraits… basically everything you don’t see on my stream.
I tag whoever wants to do this under my comments ;-)
