K took part in a local triathlon this morning. Today's even was a 750m swim, 30k cycle and 5k run.
This is him coming in to finish in fifth place.
While he was racing, the girls and I had a fun time exploring the area around the lake and just hanging out. Afterwards we went to visit my parents for Sunday dinner. It was a long, but enjoyable day.

I made 3 designs (brown, mauve and jewel tone) x 4 pieces each. They will not be reproduced (took way too long to make them!)
Bought a Pentax 6x7. A few shots from the first roll with her. She's a beast and I'm still trying to get the hang of it haha.

I wonder how my 70-something year-old Agfa Isolette (Jsolette) camera got mixed in with the offerings at Xuan Jiang Temple high above Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan.

Birds. Woodland Kingfisher. Marataba. Marakele National Park. South Africa. Dec/2020
Woodland Kingfisher
The woodland kingfisher (Halcyon senegalensis) is a tree kingfisher that is widely distributed in Africa south of the Sahara
This is a medium-sized kingfisher, 23 cm (9.1 in) in length. The adult has a bright blue back, wing panel and tail. Its head, neck and underparts are white, and its shoulders are black. The flight of the woodland kingfisher is rapid and direct. The large bill has a red upper mandible and black lower mandible. The legs and feet are dark grey. Some birds may have greyish heads, causing confusion with mangrove kingfisher.
However, the lores are dark, creating a dark stripe through the eye (the stripe does not extend through the eye in mangrove kingfisher), and the underwing, primaries and secondaries are black with white underwing coverts (there is a black carpal patch on the white coverts in mangrove kingfisher). The inner webs of the base of the flight feathers are white, creating an indistinct white wingbar (white completely absent from wings in mangrove kingfisher). The breast is white (tends to be much greyer in mangrove kingfisher). The sexes are similar, but juveniles are duller than adults and have a brown bill.
The call of this noisy kingfisher is a loud trill sounding like a nail run down the teeth of a comb

Pica-peixe dos Bosques
O Pica-peixe dos Bosques ou martim-pescador da floresta ou Pica-peixe do Senegal (Halcyon senegalensis) é um martim-pescador que é amplamente distribuído na África ao sul do Saara
Este é um pássaro de tamanho médio, 23 cm (9.1 in) de comprimento. O adulto tem uma parte traseira azul brilhante, no painel de asa e cauda. Sua cabeça, pescoço e partes inferiores são brancos e seus ombros são pretos. O vôo do martim-pescador da floresta é rápido e direto. As pernas e os pés são cinza escuro. Algumas aves podem ter cabeças acinzentadas, causando confusão com o guarda-rios de mangue.
O chamado deste barulhento martim-pescador é um trinado alto soando como um prego correndo pelos dentes de um pente
