Like most of Galapagos, Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat) is volcanic in origin. The exploration path starts with a gorgeous beach, bright red Sally Lightfoot crabs and marine iguanas. The path goes past a colony of endemic Galapagos sea lions before passing a lava field: look for the lava cactus growing in the cracks. On the beach, keep your eyes open for the American Oystercatcher, a wading bird with a distinctive orange beak. On the trail, you may see lava lizards.

Unnoticed
transparent in the hustle ....
a rush though,
a rare glimpse
of energy
so that, when fully realized
we wonder with mouths and hearts open.
A prayer to all sentient beings
to the realization of their enlightenment.
For their liberation from lower rebirth in the realms of Saṃsāra.
To their ultimate attainment and ascension to the blissful state of Nirvāṇa.
By the gracious and merciful blessings of the holy one, and of all enlightened beings.
Violet-capped woodnymph (Thalurania glaucopis)
Portuguese ID: Beija flor de fronte violeta
Its scientific name means: from (Greek) thalos = child, descendant of; and ouranos = sky, celestial, referring to the blue of the sky; and Greek (glaukos = bluish-gray). ⇒ Bluish gray bird, son of the sky blue.
It measures about 11.1 centimeters, and his tongue that when stretched reaches 4 centimeters, feeds on nectar. Sometimes it pierces the flower tuft outside, directly attacking its precious liquid.
But this species has already been observed hunting insects and small spiders as it flies, with rapid maneuvers.

I suggest you view large ;)
I keep practicing, to destroy that background and to see the light right.
I went even further and played with my wacom tablet.
I enjoy the drama.
Is it to much?

The black skimmer was photographed resting on a sandbar along the Cuiaba River. There were about six of them there when this image was taken. Within minutes more skimmers were circling above getting ready to land.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
Skimmers have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They feed usually in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water (in order of importance) for small fish, insects, crustaceans and molluscs caught by touch by day or especially at night.
The black skimmer breeds in loose groups on sandbanks and sandy beaches in the Americas, the three to seven heavily dark-blotched buff or bluish eggs being incubated by both the male and female. The chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch and lie inconspicuously in the nest depression or "scrape" where they are shaded from high temperatures by the parents. They may dig their own depressions in the sand at times. Parents feed the young almost exclusively during the day with almost no feeding occurring at night, due to the entire population of adults sometimes departing the colony to forage.
"I do not know what to play to the children
in the market, in Lavrio.
I'm old, with braces and glasses
and I'm still afraid of tomorrow.
How to hide from children?
They know everything anyway.
And they look at us with eyes like these
when they wake up at two o'clock.
We live in a dream that creaks
like our grandmother's wooden leg,
but the real time,
as a small child, is in exile.
But the real time
is our son, the big and the small one.
I do not know what to play to the children
but not even to adults.
It's been a long time since I suddenly learned
that I am an ugly parrot.
How to hide all these?
Everyone knows them anyway.
And they look at you with eyes like these
when you return to the city.
We live in a dream that creaks
like our grandmother's wooden leg,
but the real time,
as a small child, is in exile.
But the real time
is our son, the big and the small one."

From last Spring, a Ranunculus. I find a lot of flowers look really intriguing when seen close up.
...wonky
adjective, informal
not straight; crooked or askew.

“Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”
