Another photo of Sakura, the new puppy of a very close friend.
Just a few weeks old, she is tiny!
It seems that my boots are comfortable...
And a good place to rest for a while...

The Pampa Finch (Embernagra platensis) is a medium-sized songbird inhabiting the open grasslands and subtropical scrublands of the Southern Cone, including Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, southern Brazil, and Bolivia. Its plumage is predominantly olive-brown on the back, often with faint streaks, while the head and throat display a muted gray or grayish-olive tone that can subtly contrast with a darker face. The species has a strong, conical bill, typically yellowish to orange, and a long tail that tapers slightly. Primarily terrestrial, it forages on the ground for seeds and insects, remaining mostly within a local area and moving only short distances. When perched, it often chooses tall grasses or low shrubs, standing openly as it surveys its surroundings.

Windmills have become part of the Canarian landscape, silent witnesses of a past in which they played an important role in the economy of the islands. In the case of Fuerteventura, they existed profusely because this typology is developed mainly in arid or desert regions, taking the wind as a source of energy, to make up for the lack of water currents. To this contributed the almost permanent presence of air currents in the islands and the orography of the island, characterized by vast plains only "interrupted" by these peculiar constructions.
Their typologies are made up of two very different types, but one of them predominates numerically. The most abundant is defined by an architectural structure of flat circular plant, with truncated cone shape made of masonry, topped by an irregular conical or pyramidal wooden roof of which one of its parts is open to give exit to the axis of the blades. The interior is divided into two floors, with access to the upper floor by an interior staircase, in some cases, or exterior, in others. The other typology, of which there are fewer examples, is defined by a quadrangular building, on which rises a tower made with a framework of wooden railings, which supports the blades. In the center of the tower descends an axis that connects the gearing of the blades with the stones.

Casapueblo, located in Punta Ballena, Uruguay, is an iconic building designed by artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. Built over 36 years starting in 1958, it features 13 floors with terraces offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Inspired by Mediterranean architecture and hornero bird nests, it was constructed without formal plans, resulting in an organic, labyrinthine structure. Casapueblo serves as a museum, art gallery, and hotel, showcasing Vilaró's artworks and hosting a daily "Ceremony of the Sun" at sunset
Dunas de Maspalomas (Maspalomas Dunes), a mixture of desert and oasis located on the southern coast of Gran Canaria.
The Maspalomas Dunes are a Protected Natural Area with the category of Special Natural Reserve since 1994, but it was first declared a protected area in 1987. This immense sea of sand occupies almost 404 hectares. Together with the Oasis of Maspalomas and the Pond of the same name, they form a group whose differentiated ecosystems have a unique natural and scenic value in the world.

Beautiful view of a calm morning from Ushuia Bay. Behind, Bahia Encerrada, and in the distance some peaks of Hoste Island (Chile).
More commonly known as Okuno-in, the Okusha Hohaisho prayer building is located in the Myobu-dani valley to the east of the main shrine building, at the end of the Senbon Torii (Thousand Torii) gateways. People come here to pray to the holy mountain Inariyama, whose three peaks can be seen right behind the building.
The age of the building can be determined from a record called Senguki from 1499, but details such as the original size are not known. In the Edo period, it was called Fukosho and Kumotsujo, which means “offering place”. The building was destroyed by a natural disaster in 1794, and was rebuilt in a slightly larger size than the original one. Then in 1975, the shrine building was moved backward to its current location and a prayer area was built in front of it.
If you have more details about this location, let me know. Thanks in advance!

Laguna Nimez Reserve is an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). It has a variety of 80 species of birds, both Patagonian residents and migratory, including waterfowl, landbirds, and shorebirds.
The vegetation is typical of Patagonian steppe, composed of fescue grasslands with alternating varieties of Berberis sp. and Senecio sp.. In the zones that are often covered by the flooding waters of Argentino Lake (Lago Argentino) there are reed beds (Schoenoplectus californicus).
