Beauty of the Amazon

What united us as true sisters were the honor, the truth, the strength of the fight against falsehood, charming words from those who want to deceive, steal, lie or look at us like meat in the butcher's shop. Each of us has a brother who shares the same principles: equality, friendship, trust, honesty, loyalty.

off a boat. Other than size, the amazon and green kingfishers are very similar indeed. the amazon carries its crest more prominently and white wing spots only visible in flight.

At Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brasil - Male - The Amazon Kingfisher is a resident of lakeshores and large-slow flowing rivers from northern Mexico south to central Argentina. They are large dark bronzy green birds with a ragged crest, a white throat and collar, and a white belly; the breast of the male is rufous, while the female has a narrower green breastband. Amazon Kingfishers are superficially similar to the Green Kingfisher Chloroceryle americana, but are much larger with a heavier bill, and typically forage from more conspicuous perches. Amazon Kingfishers hunt fish and crustaceans from a perch, diving into the water to catch their prey and then returning to the same perch before stunning their prey and swallowing it head first. These kingfishers also occasionally hover above the water before diving to catch prey. The nests are excavated by making tunnels into road cuts or erosion gullies near water.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

Not the bookshop - the ancient female warrior. This is the head of what was once a full figure of a wounded amazon. This you cannot tell from just this head, of course, but this is a Roman copy (from ca 150 A.D. - made of marble) of an older statue which was quite popular. So with just this head, you can tell what original this was a copy of. And hence which motif it was. There was no mass-production back in the day, as we know it, but that did not mean everything existed in just one copy.

Online giant Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock every year, products that are often new and unused ...
and it is not the only thing Amazon destroyes ...

Famous sculpture of Equestrian Amazon in front of the ‚Neue Museum‘ in Berlin. Nofretete seems to watch enchanted. Her 4000 year old bust in the museum is one of the highlights of Berlin’s museum.
This video I watched religiously first time I saw this a year ago:

Lucky to get, out of about 25 attempts, two fairly decent, almost focused, bigly cropped, shots of this bird as he kept ahead of us in our bobbing zodiac on the Penas Blancas river
The Amazon rainforest is currently experiencing a significant increase in wildfires, with 9,000 fires burning simultaneously across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru. The fires are largely set intentionally to clear land for cattle ranching, farming, and logging, and have been exacerbated by the dry season. The number of fires is an 80% increase over the same period last year. The Amazon is often called "the lungs of the world," absorbing greenhouse gases that would otherwise harm the planet. The fires are destroying the homes of indigenous tribes, threatening millions of animals, and even darkening the skies over major cities. The impact of the fires on the Amazon's biodiversity will be significant, with between 40,000 and 73,400 square miles of the rainforest impacted by fires since 2001, affecting 95% of all Amazonian species and as many as 85% of species that are listed as threatened in this region.

The Meeting of Waters
The Amazon River, located in South America, is the largest river in the world in volume of water and the largest river in the world in extension, with 6.992,06 km. The Amazon River originates from the source of the Apurimac River, on the slopes of Nevado Mismi, in the Andes Mountains, Peru, at 5,600 meters above sea level. Source: All Matter.
O Encontro das Águas
O rio Amazonas, localizado na América do Sul, é o maior rio do mundo em volume de água e o maior rio do mundo em extensão, com 6.992,06 km. O rio Amazonas tem sua origem na nascente do rio Apurimac, na encosta do Nevado Mismi, na Cordilheira dos Andes, no Peru, a 5.600 metros acima do nível do mar. Fonte: Toda Matéria.

The spectacled warbler (Curruca conspicillata) is a species in the typical warbler genus, Curruca. The specific conspicillata is from Latin conspicillum, a place to look from, equivalent to "spectacled".
It breeds in northwest Africa, southwest Europe from Iberia to Italy, and then further east on the eastern Mediterranean islands and coastal regions. It is mainly resident in Africa, but other populations migrate to winter more widely in north and west Africa and Egypt. This bird is a rare vagrant to northern and western Europe.
It also occurs in some Atlantic islands. The subspecies orbitalis has been proposed for those of the Cape Verde Islands. The presumed subspecies for the Madeira birds, bella, is today usually included in this taxon, as are the birds of the Canary Islands.
These are very small "warblers" and are intermediate between common whitethroats and Tristram's warbler in coloration. Spectacled warblers are brown above and buff below, with chestnut wing patches and a white throat. Adult males have a grey head and the white eye ring which gives the species its name. Immature birds can be confused with both the whitethroat and the western subalpine warbler, and identification is difficult in the field. The song is a fast high warble.
These small passerine birds are found in dry open country with bushes. Like its relatives, the spectacled warbler is insectivorous. (wikipedia)
We came across quite a few Spectacled Warblers in the coastal areas of Madeira. A striking bird.
A igarape is a watercourse Amazon water first, second or third order, consisting of a long arm river or channel. They exist in large numbers in the Amazon Basin. Characterized by shallow and almost run into the forest. Only small boats such as canoes and small boats, can navagar by the waters of a stream due to its shallow depth and be narrow.
The word was adopted from the Tupi. Literally means "canoe route" through the junction of ygara terms (canoe) and loveto (path)
Characteristics:-
Most streams have dark waters similar to the Black River, a major tributary of the Amazon River, carrying little sediment. They are navigable by small boats and canoes and play an important role as transport and communication.
Amazonian streams are an integral and essential part in the functioning of the forest, because they work as ecological corridors, linking forest fragments and facilitating displacement of wildlife and gene flow between populations of species of animals and plants.
Um igarapé é um curso d'água amazônico de primeira, segunda ou terceira ordem, constituído por um braço longo de rio ou canal. Existem em grande número na Bacia amazônica. Caracterizam-se pela pouca profundidade e por correrem quase no interior da mata. Apenas pequenas embarcações, como canoas e pequenos barcos, podem navagar pelas águas de um igarapé devido a sua baixa profundidade e por ser estreito.
A palavra foi adotada do tupi. Significa, literalmente, "caminho de canoa", através da junção dos termos ygara (canoa) e apé (caminho)
Características:-
A maioria dos igarapés tem águas escuras semelhantes às do Rio Negro, um dos principais afluentes do Rio Amazonas, transportando poucos sedimentos. São navegáveis por pequenas embarcações e canoas e desempenham um importante papel como vias de transporte e comunicação.
Os igarapés amazônicos constituem parte integrante e essencial no funcionamento da floresta, pois funcionam como corredores ecológicos, ligando fragmentos florestais e facilitando deslocamento da fauna e o fluxo gênico entre as populações das espécies de animais e vegetais.
