Naby n'est pas juste un taureau de race partenaise de 5 ans... Naby est un être imense, fascinant, charismatique...J'aime ses couleurs, la façon qu'il a de prendre l'espace...sa manière de fixer le temps...d'évacuer les doutes...de poser son regard...
Son propriétaire m'a confié qu'il devait s'en séparer...
Pour combien de temps encore vais je pouvoir lui rendre visite?...méditer auprès de lui...soulever la poussière...Cette série est un souvenir, un homage pour cet animal hors norme...
This fantastic bull live near the house... Great feelings..

A slightly different perspective on one of the Elegug stacks. From here it looks like an needle, or the "aim point" at the end of a rifle!
The light was very strange here on this evening and the colours were fabulous. An enchanting place to be, all alone with a camera! In the spring this stack is full of nesting seabirds, particularly Guillemots and Elegug is the Welsh word for that species.

Premièrement j'aimerais vous remercier toutes et tous pour vos merveilleux commentaires et favoris, ils sont très appréciés.

Magnifique escapade de fin d'été dans la péninsule Acadienne et la Gaspésie. J'ai repris la photographie et Monique et moi étions plus que dus pour retourner en Gaspésie après plus de 42 ans! J'y ai fait quelque belle rencontre d'oiseau rare comme Jean Blais un gars fort sympathique. Je vais vous présenter dans le désordre comme c'est mon habitude les prises que j'ai retenues.
Le matin du 8 septembre il y avait un grand vent du nord et la marée haute était prévue pour 12h30 à Kamouraska et c'était très nuageux, c'est un endroit que j'affectionne pour sa poissonnerie et les superbes paysages et bâtiments. Après avoir repéré un groupe de Pluviers argenté et étudié leurs déplacements, je m'étais installé derrière une pierre du rivage à plusieurs centaines de pieds d'eux dans l'espoir d'essayer de capturer les pluviers argentés qui sont plutôt farouches mais qui effectuaient une remontée du rivage vers moi. J'y étais depuis plus d'une heure et j'étais trempé et complètement gelé d'être couché au sol patiemment sur le gravier et les algues détrempés. C'est alors qu'un faucon Pèlerin est arrivé en rase motte et a fait fuir le groupe Pluvier argenté tant attendu... J'avais bien fait quelques prises mais j'espérais une prise plein cadre. C'est alors qu'arriva un oiseau inattendu et qui a sauvé mon avant-midi, Un courlis corlieu. Il était encore loin mais par chance il travaillait le rivage en mangeant lentement vers moi. C'est un magnifique oiseau mais plutôt méfiant et farouche. J'ai bien fait une centaine de prises avant de décider que j'en avais assez de geler et de retourner au VR ouo Monique m'attendait patiemment.
Firstly I would like to thank you all for your wonderful comments and favorites, they are very appreciated.

Beautiful late summer getaway in the Acadian Peninsula New Brunswick and Gaspésia. I got back into photography and Monique and I were more than happy to return to Gaspésia after more than 42 years! I made some nice encounter of rare bird like Jean Blais a very nice guy. I will present you in disorder as it is my habit the shots that I love.
On the morning of September 8th there was a strong north wind and the high tide was scheduled for 12:30 in Kamouraska Quebec and it was very cloudy, it is a place I love for its fish market and the beautiful landscapes and buildings of the old town. After spotting a group of Black-bellied Plovers and studying their movements, I settled behind a shore stone several hundred feet away from them in the hope of trying to capture the Black-bellied Plovers who are rather shy, but were working the shore towards me. I had been there for over an hour and was soaking wet and completely frozen from lying on the ground on the gravel and sodden algae. It was then that a Peregrine Falcon arrived on a low ground swep and chased away the long-awaited Black-bellied Plovers group ... I had made a few catches but I was hoping for a full frame that never happened.
Then came an unexpected bird and saved my morning, A Whimbrel. He was still far away but luckily he was working the shore slowly eating towards me. It is a beautiful bird but rather suspicious and fierce. I did a good hundred shots before I decided I was tired of freezing and went back to the RV where Monique was waiting for me patiently.
Les autorités australiennes ont élaboré un plan pour le moins radical pour se débarrasser des chats errants. Celui-ci comprend le déploiement de robots tueurs dont l'objectif est de traquer et d'éliminer les félins, considérés comme invasifs et nuisibles pour la faune endémique.
Oui, vous avez bien lu…
S'élevant à 7,6 millions de dollars australiens, soit 4,6 millions d’euros, le plan vise à éradiquer les chats harets (chats domestiques retournés à l'état sauvage) d'ici à 5 ans dans l'État d'Australie-Occidentale.
Après des années de tests, les autorités fédérales ont finalement approuvé le déploiement de Felixer. Commercialisé par l'entreprise locale Thylation, ce “robot tueur” identifie les chats à partir de leur silhouette et de leur démarche. Il envoie ensuite un gel toxique, du fluoroacétate de sodium ou poison 1080, sur l'animal. Le poison est ensuite ingéré par celui-ci lors de sa toilette, entraînant sa mort.
Financièrement, les dommages causés par les chats harets sur la faune du pays s'élèvent à près de 300 millions de dollars australiens, soit 181 millions d’euros.

Australian authorities have come up with a drastic plan to get rid of stray cats. This includes the deployment of killer robots whose objective is to track down and eliminate felines, considered invasive and harmful to endemic fauna.
Yes, you read correctly…
Amounting to 7.6 million Australian dollars, or 4.6 million euros, the plan aims to eradicate feral cats (domestic cats returned to the wild) within 5 years in the State of 'Western Australia.
After years of testing, federal authorities finally approved the deployment of Felixer. Marketed by local company Thylation, this killer robot identifies cats based on their silhouette and gait. He then sends a toxic gel, sodium fluoroacetate or poison 1080, on the animal. The poison is then ingested by it during its toilet, resulting in its death.
Financially, the damage caused by feral cats on the country's wildlife amounts to nearly 300 million Australian dollars, or 181 million euros.
Ready...Aim...FIRE!

A movement,
if not circular
is supposed to serve
a particular aim.
But what,
if a stand still
under the circumstances
is the optimal
condition?

I want to forget about you.
Beneath the tears I tried to drown my hearbeats,
They were begging for you to feel something.
But now there are times I would like to destroy these pieces of you that, in the night, keeps my heart and skin awaken.
But we can't fight against a ghost, we can only accept it,
Until we feel his presence fade into the backgrounds of our two lives.
Until then, no matter the place, the decors keep whispering in my ear about you.
L'hiver, entre autre, j'aime me rendre au fleuve afin d'y observer les glaces qui descendent.
Souvent j'y observe des rapaces qui profitent du transport gratuit !
Ce fût la première fois que j'y observai des pygargues prendre des bains d'eau glacée...
Ici, sans doute un jeune de première année. Il atteindra sa maturité vers 4-5 ans.
Une très belle journée ! : )
