The Bend
Between "Encumeada" and "Paul da Serra" in Ribeira Brava this bend is an ode to all "the bends" in our lives...
"When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time."

I thank you in advance for all your interaction.

My interpretation of the most significant interaction between groups in the LEGO wargame Decisive Action 4 if condensed to just one word each. Granted, this simplification omits many other aspects of the game.
Annihilation + Alliance = Annihilliance
I made this up. In this game the combination seems like a single fluid activity.
Your feedback is welcome.
The wonderful Fatoumata Diawara from her gig in Vincennes, a suburb of Paris, in May 2014.
I've loved Fatoumata since I first saw her at WOMAD 2009 as a backing singer to Oumou Sangare. She just shows such great joy when she's performing...and I love her music.
I'd arranged a photo pass via her assistant, Sophie. When I turned up at the gig, security said (en français, naturellement!) that I could only shoot the first three songs.
However, before the gig, Sophie came out to introduce herself. When I checked about the three songs, she replied: "Three songs? Who told you that? She's barely getting warmed up after three songs. Shoot the whole gig, I'll square it!"
Music to my ears. :-)
You can see a video of Fatoumata singing 'Bissa' here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E82BifytoYY
You can see more of my shots of her, here: Fatoumata Diawara
My profound thanks are due to Sophie Cragg, for arranging my photo pass and particularly for allowing me to shoot the full show.
A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and dark matter.[1][2] The name is from the Greek root galaxias [γαλαξίας], meaning "milky," a reference to the Milky Way galaxy. Typical galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million[3] (107) stars up to giants with one trillion[4] (1012) stars, all orbiting a common center of mass. Galaxies can also contain many multiple star systems, star clusters, and various interstellar clouds. The Sun is one of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy; the Solar System includes the Earth and all the other objects that orbit the Sun.
Historically, galaxies have been categorized according to their apparent shape (usually referred to as their visual morphology). A common form is the elliptical galaxy,[5] which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped assemblages with curving, dusty arms. Galaxies with irregular or unusual shapes are known as peculiar galaxies, and typically result from disruption by the gravitational pull of neighboring galaxies. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which may ultimately result in galaxies merging, may induce episodes of significantly increased star formation, producing what is called a starburst galaxy. Small galaxies that lack a coherent structure could also be referred to as irregular galaxies.[6]
There are probably more than 100 billion (1011) galaxies in the observable universe.[7] Most galaxies are 1,000 to 100,000[4] parsecs in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs).[8] Intergalactic space (the space between galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic meter. The majority of galaxies are organized into a hierarchy of associations called clusters, which, in turn, can form larger groups called superclusters. These larger structures are generally arranged into sheets and filaments, which surround immense voids in the universe.[9]
Although it is not yet well understood, dark matter appears to account for around 90% of the mass of most galaxies. Observational data suggests that supermassive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies. They are proposed to be the primary cause of active galactic nuclei found at the core of some galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy appears to harbor at least one such object within its nucleus.[10]

She was taking a break, on her thoughts I guess she would never expect someone was about to approach her asking for a photo... but she agreed and approved the result, so here it is for you!

The constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) is especially rich in galaxies, due in part to the presence of a massive and gravitationally-bound collection of over 1300 galaxies called the Virgo Cluster. One particular member of this cosmic community, NGC 4388, is captured in this image, as seen by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Located some 60 million light-years away, NGC 4388 is experiencing some of the less desirable effects that come with belonging to such a massive galaxy cluster. It is undergoing a transformation, and has taken on a somewhat confused identity. While the galaxy’s outskirts appear smooth and featureless, a classic feature of an elliptical galaxy, its centre displays remarkable dust lanes constrained within two symmetric spiral arms, which emerge from the galaxy’s glowing core — one of the obvious features of a spiral galaxy. Within the arms, speckles of bright blue mark the locations of young stars, indicating that NGC 4388 has hosted recent bursts of star formation. Despite the mixed messages, NGC 4388 is classified as a spiral galaxy. Its unusual combination of features are thought to have been caused by interactions between NGC 4388 and the Virgo Cluster. Gravitational interactions — from glancing blows to head-on collisions, tidal influencing, mergers, and galactic cannibalism — can be devastating to galaxies. While some may be lucky enough to simply suffer a distorted spiral arm or newly-triggered wave of star formation, others see their structure and contents completely and irrevocably altered.

Halloween is a very fun holiday for people like us. There have been Halloweens when I have gone out fully dressed as a regular "gurl" (left) and of course some when I have worn a costume (right). A costume is always fun but there is something special about going out as a female. It's fun to see how many people know you aren't a genetic female or take you as one. In my experiences I have gotten some positive interactions from both women and men. It seems the women are very interested in why you are dressed as a female. And because I really try to do a good job on looking as female as possible, women notice those little details such as a nice dress that fits you, perfect makeup, long (my own) and polished fingernails, having a handbag or purse, accessories like jewelry, and deportment such as moving, sitting, and walking as a female. It really is intoxicating!
So as Halloween is approaching what will you be wearing and portraying this year? And have you done both as I have described? I would love to hear your experiences. Have fun!
For a nice variety of Killdeers over the past decade, please check out my album: www.flickr.com/photos/8666250@N02/albums/72177720316032232
Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) with
Mallard pair (Anas platyrhynchos).
Playing field near Gordon Bridge, Kelowna, BC.
Killdeer: "Sheesh! I just got back here, and you two are heading south already?!"
Mallard drake: "Hey, Killy, I just go where she goes, ya know what I mean?"
I got better shots of a pair of Killdeers when I returned to the south side of the Marsh in late afternoon....
30 Days of Perception: Day 23
As I lift my eyes towards this slender branch against the pale blue of the November sky, I feel a resonance within me. There's a sense of reciprocity as my eyes take in all the details of what I see. The branch, the seedpods and leaves take on another meaning under my gaze. In that moment, we are joined in an exchange.
The tips of the secondary branches all curve upwards and tightly furled spring buds hold me in their spell.
I honour such encounters as these.
My dentist lets me bring Molly to the office, and while my teeth are getting cleaned, Molly is on my lap and pays close attention to what's going on in my mouth. Today, when the cleaning was done, she turned around and looked out the window into the woods it looks out on, where I've seen birds and deer and wild turkeys and others have seen a fox. This morning a squirrel approached and Molly got very attentive. It turned out to be a most curious squirrel, which came up to the window and kept staring at Molly, who was staring at it. This went on for several minutes. The whole staff saw the interaction and said that they'd never, in all the years of wildlife watching from the window, seen a squirrel come up to the window like that. It was a special moment.

To encourage interaction, the interior of Frank Gehry's building makes prominent use of stairways to move people around the building. This polished stainless steel staircase lends a sculptural focal point to the main lobby, reflecting the movement of people (and ideas).

Some of their trademark high pitched vocalization is apparent in Vic Doc
Orange feet and white feature on wings are diagnostic for this species in the our area
...with vocalization one gets a chance to view this "other aspect "
Quite a bit of flying and interactions
i was thinking most/some of it may be sub adult posturing and pair bonding competition & displays.....but they are also nesting in close proximity ....so i don't really know

Diving with California sealions is just a wonderful experience. They interact with you so much, they are curious and sometimes playful with you. They also make you feel ridiculous..you realize how poor your swimming abilities are compare to theirs.. taken near La Paz, Baja California. MX
A candid shot taken at the Bicton Baths last autumn. I cropped in to remove the distractions around this core group of figures. The guy on the right was there for water polo practice. Those marks on his lower back look like scars. I wonder what'd happened.
