Flamingos have long been associated with southern Florida. Sadly, very few still exist in the wild in Florida. These flamingos were photographed at "The Sarasota Jungle Garden".

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

Can greylag geese be white?
It can be white, completely gray (like the wild form), or somewhere in-between.
Are greylag geese native to UK?
There are two subspecies of Greylag Goose recognised: Western Greylag A. a. anser from Iceland, and north and central Europe; wintering from Scotland, south to northern Africa and east to Iran.
The greylag goose is a large, bulky, goose with a big head, and the largest of the grey goose species. It was one of the first species of animals to be domesticated in Ancient Egypt about 3000 years ago and is a typical farmyard goose. The domestic breed is known as A. a. domesticus and can interbreed with Anser anser. Many birds seen in the UK outside of the winter months are re-colonised from domestic populations and are often semi-tame. It is seen as a pest due to overgrazing of agricultural crops and is listed in Schedule 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning it can be killed or taken outside of the close season.
Key facts Scientific name: Anser anser
Status: Resident wild and feral populations, winter visitor.
Breeding birds: 46,000 pairs UK wintering birds: 140,000 British birds and 88,000 from Iceland
Conservation status: Amber Family: Ducks, geese & swans
Length: 76 – 90 cm Wingspan: 147 – 180 cm
Weight: 2.9 – 1.4 kg
Typical lifespan: 8 years

An image from our trip around the lower South Island last year. We spent a few days in the Catlins area exploring, and while driving to Slope Point, (the southernmost part of the South Island) we drove through the townships of Waikawa and Curio Bay. The road skirts around the edge of Waikawa Harbour and Haldane Bay where we experienced this mist lifting off the water. This image is Waikawa Bay. The rolling mist seemed a strange sight on an otherwise fine day. Enjoy.

I don't have any studio kit, so this was taken with a black t-shirt pinned inside a cardboard box, a make-up mirror and an LED torch held in one hand.

تبدو ملآمحي " سـآكنه "
أكاد لآ أشعر بي ..
أسير بـِ طرقٍ لآ أُحبها
أكتبُ حروفاً مبهمة
أعبر الصفحات بوعكة تسمى " ملل"
يالله
أنا مُرهقة ..
بداخلي أشياء عظيمة وقلبي صغير .. صغير ياربي
أحتاج الرحمة
أحتاج المطر ..

Shell Creek Road on the way to Carrizo Plains National Monument. Went for the wildflowers but was taken by the light and shadow of the hills. From the archives. Trying to reduce library. Lots of walks down memory lane.

I caught a little wormy
a crawling up a tree.
He wiggled here
he wiggled there
he wiggled right at me.
I put him in a shoebox
and told him STAY RIGHT THERE.
But when I opened up the box
a butterfly was there.
I don't know how it happened
I couldn't if I tried
cause only the great Lord above
can make a butterfly.

Have a GREAT day my dear friends!!!

- Dedicada a mi buen amigo Billy quien, como yo, bien sabe lo que se siente fotografiando abejas siendo alérgico a ellas. La sensación de miedo y ganas de salir corriendo, se mezcla con el deseo de conseguir una buena foto de ese bicho.
En ese momento, la adrenalina empieza a alterarse y subir hasta las nubes. Llegando un momento en que no sabes si estás ahí por conseguir la gran foto, o porque el mismo miedo no te deja salir huyendo. Y por mucho que la razón te grite que te alejes, que no vale la pena jugarse la vida por una foto, la pasión por la fotografía te hace permanecer ahí, con un ojo en el visor mientras con el otro vigilas a las colegas de tu protagonista, no vaya a ser que se enfaden y te ataquen a traición.
Y, cuando llegas a casa y ves el resultado, ves esa abeja en la pantalla, vuelves a sentir esa subida de adrenalina, y sonríes pensando que ha valido la pena.
