The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.

Beautiful Green Variation of Cicada Found on my Property
A cicada (pronounced /sɪˈkeɪdə/) is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the world, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents.

The fjord that sits between Flakstad and Vareid has an incredibly transparent water with beautiful green colour.
One of the results from an experimental photo session with glasses and coloured water. In this case I also used transparent flower foil for some reflections.

* Fantasía de la Alhambra 02. Vista, a través de un arco, de la Fuente del Patio de los Leones en el Palacio Nazarí de La Alhambra. Ciudad de Granada. Andalucía.
* A finales de 1370, Mohamed V emprendió la edificación de un nuevo palacio, conocido como Palacio de los Leones por las doce esculturas de la fuente que centra su patio.
La Fuente de los Leones tiene una taza dodecagonal y está ejecutada con una gran perfección técnica. Doce versos se hallan inscritos en ella. Seis de estos versos, Ibn Zamrak los aprovechó para la fuente. Esta obra de arte es a la vez un surtidor, y simboliza el poder real del sultán asociada con el suministro del agua, uno de los bienes más preciados por la cultura islámica.
Traigo de nuevo, a evocación, los versos de Ibn Zamrak dedicados precisamente a esta fuente.
Poema de la taza de los leones
«Bendito sea Aquél que otorgó al sultán Mohamed
las bellas ideas para engalanar sus mansiones.
Pues, ¿acaso no hay en este jardín maravillas
que Dios ha hecho incomparables en su hermosura,
y una escultura de perlas de transparente claridad,
cuyos bordes se decoran con orla de aljófar?
Plata fundida corre entre las perlas,
a las que semeja belleza alba y pura.
En apariencia, agua y mármol parecen confundirse,
sin que sepamos cuál de ambos se desliza.
¿No ves cómo el agua se derrama en la taza,
pero sus caños la esconden enseguida?
Es un amante cuyos párpados rebosan de lágrimas,
lágrimas que esconde por miedo a un delator.
¿No es, en realidad, cual blanca nube
que vierte en los leones sus acequias
y parece la mano del califa, que, de mañana,
prodiga a los leones de la guerra sus favores?
Quien contempla los leones en actitud amenazante,
(sabe que) sólo el respeto (al Emir) contiene su enojo.
¡Oh descendiente de los Ansares, y no por línea indirecta,
herencia de nobleza, que a los fatuos desestima:
Que la paz de Dios sea contigo y pervivas incólume
renovando tus festines y afligiendo a tus enemigos!»
(IBN ZAMRAK. Canto a la Alambra.)

- A cupula is a small, inverted cup or dome-shaped cap over a structure. In architecture, a cupola is a small, most often dome-like, structure on top a building. The word derives, via Italian, from the lower Latin cupula "small cup" indicating a vault resembling an upside down cup.
- Een koepel of dom is een element uit de architectuur bestaande uit een halve bol of een halve ellipsoïde. De koepel is meestal geplaatst op het dak van een gebouw. Soms vormt de koepel het gehele gebouw.
