Tangara xanthocephala
(Saffron-crowned Tanager / Tángara coronada)
Saffron-crowned Tanager is a brightly colored tanager with a distinctive yellow head. This species occurs through the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia, and occupies humid montane forests and secondary woodlands.
Due to human destruction of habitat, it is hypothesized that the population numbers are decreasing. Like most Tangara tanagers, the Saffron-crowned is sexually monomorphic.

Stilpnia heinei
(Black-capped Tanager / Tangara capirotada)
Juvenile males show a kaleidoscope of colours: Yellow-green as the females and blue tones as adult males.
Black-capped Tanagers are vividly-colored tropical birds that occur in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. They often occur in pairs foraging in bushes and trees for insects and fruit.
It is one of the few species in the genus that shows obvious sexual dichromatism, with males primarily gray-blue in color with a distinctive black cap, and females yellow-green without a black cap.

The Saltators were up until recently considered part of the Cardinal-Grosbeak family (Cardinalidae) but DNA data shows that they are in fact large billed tanagers.
Streaked Saltators are greenish above, with a noticeable white supercilium that ends right behind the eye. They are not particularly large billed for a saltator, but the bill is still sizable and black in color. Below they are off-white with their distinctive streaks, absent from the throat but dense on the breast, belly and flanks.
Streaked Saltator is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guadeloupe, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

* ¡Adiós a Granada! Vista de las torres albarranas del Palacio Nazarí de la Alhambra a través de varios cristales: copas y luna del bar. En la famosa “Carrera del Darro” en la ciudad de Granada. Andalucía.
* Ha resultado interesante esta incursión fotográfica en Granada pues nos puso en contacto con viejos amigos y familiares. En esta foto, super trabajada, he querido dejar constancia de lo que yo llamo “apunte fotográfico”. Una toma, la cual después suelo trabajar ayudado de los programas antiguos de los que dispongo, especialmente el PSP. Espero que os guste y que llenéis vosotros esas copas con el líquido que más deseéis.
Y por lógica, he de evocar de nuevo los versos del poeta granadino Federico García Lorca, de su Canción de Otoño
(Fragmento)
¿Y si el amor nos engaña?
¿Quién la vida nos alienta
si el crepúsculo nos hunde
en la verdadera ciencia
del Bien que quizá no exista,
y del Mal que late cerca?
¿Si la esperanza se apaga
y la Babel se comienza,
qué antorcha iluminará
los caminos en la Tierra?
¿Si el azul es un ensueño,
qué será de la inocencia?
¿Qué será del corazón
si el Amor no tiene flechas?
¿Y si la muerte es la muerte,
qué será de los poetas
y de las cosas dormidas
que ya nadie las recuerda?
¡Oh sol de las esperanzas!
¡Agua clara! ¡Luna nueva!
¡Corazones de los niños!
¡Almas rudas de las piedras!
Hoy siento en el corazón
un vago temblor de estrellas
y todas las rosas son
tan blancas como mi pena.
(FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA. Canciones.)

The Temple of Edfu is an Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. The city was known in the Hellenistic period in Koine Greek as Ἀπόλλωνος πόλις and in Latin as Apollonopolis Magna, after the chief god Horus, who was identified as Apollo under the interpretatio graeca. It is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt. The temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide important information on language, myth and religion during the Hellenistic period in Egypt. In particular, the Temple's inscribed building texts "provide details [both] of its construction, and also preserve information about the mythical interpretation of this and all other temples as the Island of Creation." There are also "important scenes and inscriptions of the Sacred Drama which related the age-old conflict between Horus and Seth." They are translated by the Edfu-Project.

Having taken a number of shots now of the Aquilegias (Columbine) in my garden, I am fascinated by the development of the pistils and stamens. At first - shown in the white flower they seem to be all bunched up. They then progress to hanging freshly as in the purple flower and then progress to this brown mature state. The 'horns' on the top of the flower also begin curled and then straighten in the process of maturity. I think they are awesome! The back of the 'flower' is in fact a sepal and the horns and petals are modified petals referred to as the blade (front) and spur (horns behind). See also this web page.

Mi nuevo Darth Vader o Seiko 6139-7101...conocido también como black helmet...

Un poco de Historia de este famoso calibre de manufactura Seiko:
El calibre 6139 de Seiko es un movimiento enteramente fabricado y diseñado por esta marca a finales de los años 60. Tiene 27 mm de diámetro (12´´´) y 6.6 de altura. Un tamaño contenido, el menor de los tres contendientes. Se trata de un cronógrafo automático de rueda de pilares pero con un inusual sistema de embrague vertical.
Está construido sobre 17 piedras (aunque también hay modelos con 21) y late a 21600 alternancias/hora y declara una reserva de marcha de 45 horas.
Este mecanismo dispone de segundos cronógrafos (aunque no continuos) y contador de 30 minutos en una subesfera a las 6. Así mismo a las 3 indica fecha y día.
Un año después se presentó el calibre 6138, el cual se completaba con un acumulador de 12 horas.
El cronógrafo se acciona y resetea por medio de los tradicionales pulsadores situados a las 2 y a las 4. La corona en medio de ambos se protege en la caja al no admitir este calibre remonte manual, debiendo ser extraída para el cambio de hora y pulsada para el de fecha.
