Whisper warmth on summer day.

A shimmer darts through morning's gleam,

As if the dawn released a dream.

With feathers forged in light's embrace,

The sunbird dances, full of grace.

 

Emerald, ruby, sapphire fire—

Each hue a note in nature’s choir.

No painter’s brush, no poet’s pen

Can hold the glow it shows again.

 

It doesn’t seek the thundered praise,

Just nectar sipped through golden haze.

Yet every flutter, every flight

Transforms the sky with colored light.

 

So small, so swift, yet grand its role—

A flicker bright that stirs the soul.

In bloom and breeze, in branch and sky,

Iridescent beauty passes by.

Upon the dawn, so soft and bright,

A sunbird flits in golden light.

With feathers kissed by morning's hue,

In crimson, green, and sapphire blue.

 

It hovers light from bloom to bloom,

A whisper sweet, a soft perfume.

Its tiny heart beats fast and free,

A dancer in the sky's decree.

 

The nectar calls, so rich, so sweet,

With wings aglow, it finds its treat.

A guardian of the blossoms fair,

It spreads the seeds with tender care.

 

Oh, sunbird small, with colors bold,

A living gem, a tale retold.

In nature's song, you play your part,

A fleeting joy, a work of art.

La vida estalla en esta escena, con helechos gigantes y una vegetación exuberante que abrazan el descenso del agua. Las gotas salpican las hojas caídas, creando un sonido tranquilizador y continuo. Es un rincón donde la naturaleza se siente salvaje y pura.

Juvenile Silver-beaked Tanager

Ramphocelus carbo

Mocagua Comunidad Indígena, Colombia

 

Captured in the serene Mocagua Comunidad Indígena, this juvenile Silver-beaked Tanager sits quietly, a testament to the Amazon's nurturing habitat. Its feathers, tinged with the subtle brownish-red of youth, have yet to blossom into the mature, wine-red vibrancy of its species. The bird's gaze is soft yet alert, embodying the innocence and adaptability of fledgling wildlife.

 

As a photographer, I am compelled to document these fleeting moments of natural grace. In the delicate balance of light and shadow, the image speaks to the resilience and continuous cycle of life within these biodiverse lands. Through my lens, I hope to bring a piece of this remote paradise into view, encouraging conservation and a deeper connection with our planet's treasures.

A slender branch leans into the quiet, lifting pink blossoms like small lanterns above the deep green hush.

 

A quiet forest path holds its breath, and in that pause the ordinary becomes luminous. Each petal is a soft syllable, a gentle yes spoken to the morning, to the unseen work of roots and time. Light threads itself through leaf and shadow, stitching little brightnesses that do not demand attention, only invite it.

 

I watch and learn the shape of patience: how color arrives without hurry, how fragrance chooses the air, how life prefers the whisper to the shout.

The world feels freshly washed, as though the night has rinsed it of worry. In the calm I remember that tenderness is a strength, that stillness can be generous, that beauty is often a quiet practice.

The branch does not strive to be extraordinary, yet it is.

 

So I breathe, and let the day open like a flower.

Killer Pesticide Endosulfan Banned.

 

The Stockholm convention has come out with a global ban on Endosulfan which had caused more than 600 deaths and crippled more than 4,500 people in Kasargod, Kerala. India.

 

Horrified by the suffering of babies born with asymmetrical bodies, stunted brain growth, oversized heads and undersized bodies, twisted limbs, cancers, reproductive problems and other congenital disorders due to pesticide poisoning, women here have begun to terminate their pregnancies in fear of giving birth to such babies. Studies show that a minimum of 10 women from the 11 Endosulfan-hit panchayats are undergoing abortion each month. According to sociologists, this trend is caused by the same fear syndrome that once afflicted the women of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after they saw the ghastly effects of nuclear explosions. Demographists warn that what is being witnessed in Kasaragod district could eventually lead to a severe population imbalance in the region. All available facts assert that the situation will never improve as everything in the nature — body systems of organisms, water, soil, air, etc — have been irreparably polluted with the killer pesticide that was used for more than two decades since 1978 in the name of insect-eradication in the cashew plantations.

The situation is not very different in south Karnataka where Endosulfan-induced diseases are spreading fast.
