The aftermath of what was an eventful Tuesday morning at YVR. This Boeing 767 operating as "CargoJet (CJT) 2387" from Hamilton overran Runway 08L (at the 26R end) by over 1,800ft in the early hours of the morning. Thankfully the crew of 3 were alright and the aircraft does not seem to have too much damage to it. Although it looks like it, the nose gear did not collapse but rather dug into the muddy ground.
It is also worth noting that two nights prior to this incident, the aircraft ran its right main gear off the taxiway and into the grass when pulling into Apron 8 (CargoJet Apron)
A favorite book of mine by Carl Hiassen, which depicts Florida hurricanes and culture terrifyingly well.
Highly Recommended.

Aos deputados e senadores:
Tramita no Congresso Nacional um projeto de lei que, se aprovado, será um golpe mortal para todas as florestas brasileiras e, em especial, a amazônica. O PL 6424/2005, conhecido com Floresta Zero, reduz a reserva legal da região para 50% e ainda permite compensar, em outros locais, qualquer desmatamento que vá além desse limite.
O Brasil demorou 450 anos para botar no chão praticamente uma floresta inteira, a Mata Atlântica, que se espalhava em 1 milhão de quilômetros quadrados entre o Paraná e o Rio Grande do Norte. Infelizmente, parece que não aprendemos nada dessa lição. A velocidade de destruição da Amazônia é quase dez vezes maior. Em pouco menos de 40 anos, já perdemos para sempre mais de 700 mil quilômetros quadrados de Amazônia – o equivalente a quase três estados de São Paulo. Se o Floresta Zero passar no Congresso, a devastação assumirá um ritmo ainda mais avassalador.
O Floresta Zero incentiva a derrubada da floresta e inocenta milhares de crimes ambientais. A Amazônia ocupa 5% do solo do planeta e abriga a maior biodiversidade do mundo. Somos hoje o quarto maior emissor de gases de efeito estufa do mundo. Cerca de 70% de nossas emissões são decorrentes do desmatamento e das queimadas.
Destruir a Amazônia provoca um grande impacto econômico e social no paÃs. A chuva que é produzida na Amazônia é importante não apenas para a região. Ela ajuda na geração de energia, na produção de alimentos e no abastecimento de água no centro, sul e sudeste brasileiro. Para os mais de 22 milhões de brasileiros que habitam a Amazônia, o desmatamento nunca trouxe desenvolvimento social. Cerca de 85% dos casos de trabalho escravo do paÃs ocorrem nas áreas desmatadas da Amazônia.
Ao invés de aumentar a proteção do meio ambiente e estabelecer metas para a redução do desmatamento, o Congresso Nacional estará dando as costas para a Amazônia e abrindo as portas para mais destruição. A sociedade brasileira exige um ponto final no desmatamento de nossas florestas, em especial a Amazônia. Seja a favor da floresta. Diga não ao PL 6424/2005.

The plane which I was on flew into Lima due to bad weather at it's original destination, Iquitos...
From there, a later plane was taken to Iquitos and the plan was to join a boat a little down river from there....( travelling down to it by canoe with small motor ). It is a recent realisation that I had travelled by plane or boat from the West Coast to the East, arriving a little south of the marked route into Belem and then up the coast to French Guiana and the Surinam border.......
By far the most common kingfisher that we encountered during our time in the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge in Costa Rica was the Amazon Kingfisher. This female was quite a great model.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Chloroceryle amazona
Olha só o tamanho desse bichão!!!
It feels amazing to feel the dolphin's contact on the skin!
This handsome is the Pink Giant!
The dolphins live loose in the river, there is nothing that holds them, nor do they go through training; they are conditioned by the caretaker, to go to the platform to feed, end up getting used to the place and the people. Many are known by names.

Na classificação dos biólogos, não há nenhuma diferença entre botos e golfinhos é só uma questão de nomenclatura regional. O termo boto ganhou força no Brasil para nomear o pequeno cetáceo encontrado nos rios da Amazônia. A partir daÃ, passou a ser ensinado em escolas que boto era de água doce e golfinho, de água salgada

We were very fortunate to see the five Kingfishers in the Pantanal.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Amazon Kingfisher (Amazonasfischer - Chloroceryle amazona), January 2017, Los Dos Laredo Park, Texas
Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*

A composite image of the wreck of the Amazon under southern starry skies. I'm not sure about posting this as it's not my usual style: I like to use infrared, long exposures, modified lenses and tilt-shifts to create an interpretation that is still strongly linked to the subject in front of me. In this case I've combined a single 2-second image of the shoreline with a 21-minute night sky exposure taken 3 weeks later from my backyard.
I really like the end result but it just doesn't feel honest, in the way of my usual techniques.
Another snap shot of one of my husbands Amazon Tree Frogs. The eyes are amazing they also have a blue tongue .
Milk frogs are highly arboreal and in nature rarely if ever come down from their home in the trees which is why they require extra habitat and frog supplies. Provide perches above ground such as cork bark, bamboo trigs etc. Artificial plants or live plants can also be used.
It was still relatively early in the day so sightings were not numerous, but still nice things were seen.
Though I had no idea at the time, this is another new species for me. I do love all the chorineas I have seen.
Maybe it is time to bring the Superman back to the front of the photostream for my new contacts...

cotorra
La cotorra de La Española o cotica (Amazona ventralis) es un loro endémico de la Isla La Española, República Dominicana y HaitÃ. Ha sido introducida en Puerto Rico y en las Islas VÃrgenes de los Estados Unidos donde se ha reproducido y está establecida.
Es una especie que está en peligro de extinción debido a su comercialización y destrucción de su habitat.
Esta especie de psitacido se puede identificar por su color verde brillante, frente blanca, manchas negras alrededor de los oÃdos, en el vientre tiene plumas rojas y amarillas, su cola es verde y roja y de forma cuadrada y sus alas tiene algunas plumas azules. Su pico es fuerte. Se alimenta de frutas, cereales y verduras en su habitat natural. Puede llegar a vivir hasta 50 años en la vida silvestre. Forman pareja para toda la vida y vuelan en bandadas surcando los cielos.
Las principales amenazas a las poblaciones silvestres son el saqueo de los polluelos o pichones para el tráfico de mascotas, asà como la pérdida de hábitat por la tala por el avance de la frontera agropecuaria y la producción de leña y carbón.
Si las autoridades no toman medidas estrictas con las amenazas, la destrucción de su hábitat y el saqueo de sus nidos, esta especie caerá en riesgo de desaparición.
se alimentan de semillas y frutas a elevaciones medias a altas en los arboles.
Anidan en cavidades de arboles donde ponen de 2-4 huevos, tambien se han reportado anidaciones en repisas rocosas y pequeñas cuevas en laderas calizas.
la Epoca de reproducción es de Febrero a Junio.

The Hispaniolan amazon or Hispaniolan parrot (Amazona ventralis) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is found on Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and has been introduced to Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The main features that differentiate it from other amazons are the white forehead, pale beak, white eye-ring, blue ear patch, and red belly.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and plantations. It is threatened in its home range by habitat loss and the capture of individuals for the pet trade.
The presence of this bird outside of its native Hispaniola is due to it being introduced, this in part from a release of birds raised in captivity as a studied rehearsal for the re-colonization program of the highly endangered Puerto Rican amazon.

The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration - Regrowth :)
Of all four builds I found this to be the hardest. Not in terms of time and effort, but in striking a balance. The idea is to show nature reclaiming land that has been misused, showing that nature has the strength to recover. At the same time, I didn't want to show it too overgrown, as nature needs time, lots of time, to grow back. I also wanted it to be clear that this was a new forest in the making.
As such, there had to be enough vegetation to show that nature was taking over, but not so much that the signs of human interference were lost in the build. I'm not confident that I got all the way there, but it was a good try hopefully :)
Not much in terms of innovation in this build. Basically a lot of the same things that I used in the third build, but broken and covered.
Hope you enjoyed the build! I think it's one of those that could be improved quite a bit on hindsight, but I think it still turned out ok :)
