Reflections of the maritime forest on the salt-marsh estuaries and tidal wetlands of PHP never fail to captivate.
Their beautiful clarity is fluid, graceful and inspiring. (Not to mention ‘photogenic’!)

Su nombre " Ophrys " deriva de la palabra griega:"ophrys"="ceja" refiriéndose a la alta consideración que se tiene hacia este género.
Del latín "lupercalis"="De cubierto" refiriéndose a su labelo que está cubierto con un sépalo en la parte de la columna.
Estas Orquídeas se denominan las "Orquídeas abejeras" porque el labelo de las flores se asemeja al abdomen de las abejas.
Planta que tiene un tallo de 10 a 40 cm. de altura, con hojas básales grandes, hasta 10cm de longitud, en roseta, y otras más reducidas repartidas a lo largo del tallo y envolviendo en parte a éste. La inflorescencia es una espiga laxa de 2-10 flores grandes. Los pétalos miden 11-15 mm. x 4-7mm, y son verdes. Los dos laterales están expandidos hacia los lados mientras que el superior está doblado e inclinado hacia delante. El labelo presenta una pilosidad densa, uniforme, con tonos marrones, a veces rojizos, con un borde glabro de color amarillo. Esta tribulado, con dos lóbulos laterales de menor tamaño y más estrechos que el central, que a su vez está bilobulado en su extremo final. Presenta una mancha grande, central, de color gris o gris azulado, bilobulada.
De floración temprana, ya a principios de febrero pueden observarse las primeras flores, pudiendo encontrarse ejemplares en flor a finales de la primavera. Vive en pastos secos y soleados, aunque también puede encontrarse en matorrales poco densos

CARLOS 'BOTONG' FRANCISCO (1912 - 1969)
Ang Aguinaldo
Estimate: PHP 8,500,000 - 9,500,000
Signed (lower right) and undated (c. 1938)
Oil on canvas
71 x 96.5 cm (28 x 38 in)
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Victor Puyat, former President of the Botong Francisco Foundation, Makati City
National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco was a transformative figure in Philippine art, shifting from the romanticized Amorsolo style to modernism alongside Victorio Edades and Galo Ocampo, thus reshaping Philippine artistic expression.
‘Ang Aguinaldo,’ an early work by Botong, features a pre-colonial Philippine scene with a pregnant woman and a warrior bowing to a seated leader. The title, meaning "gift" or "present" in Spanish, contrasts with the traditional setting. Created before World War II, this painting reflects Botong's early style and anticipates his later murals.
A similar artwork appeared on the back cover of Graphic Magazine’s December 1938 Christmas edition. Despite the resemblance, differences in the details suggest that the magazine image and the oil on canvas painting are distinct works. Salcedo Auctions posits that these are variations on the same theme, given Botong's practice of creating similar works in different media.
The provenance of ‘Ang Aguinaldo’ is well-documented. Botong sold it to Gene Cabrera in 1938, who later sold it to Jaime Ledesma in 1975. Ledesma received a Certificate of Authenticity from Demetrio Diego, a prominent artist and collaborator with Botong. Suzano “Jun” Gonzales, a noted conservator, conducted minimal conservation. In 1979, Multinational Investment Bancorporation acquired the painting through East Asia Corporation for Arts & Antiquities.
A recent assessment of the painting by Victor Puyat, former President of the Botong Francisco Foundation, who knew the artist’s apprentice Salvador Juban personally, reaffirms the painting's authenticity. Puyat, who has graciously issued a Certificate of Authenticity for ‘Ang Aguinaldo’ notes that Botong’s distinctive technique in depicting the human body is evident and would be challenging to replicate. He adds that the faces in the painting, characterized by soft, roundish features and expressions, align with Botong’s known style. While the color palette differs from his later works, he likewise mentions that it is consistent with his early pieces, such as ‘Siesta Under the Mango Tree’ from 1938, and that the physical condition of the painting, along with its documented provenance, supports its status as a notable early masterpiece by Botong Francisco.

something about this city that i will always admire
even when i hate it
even though i know the time has come for me to move on
something about the ugly is awful pretty
something about the noise sometimes sounds alright
mismatched, dinged & scratched,
stinky, kinky,
exhausting, relentless
accosting, expensive
agressive, outrageous
ecclectic, contagious.
something about this city lives in me
something, always something to turn your head and see.

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be something better
But theres nowhere else in sight
Its survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets dont have much pity
When youre down, thats where youll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life aint very pretty
No ones there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be something better
And I cant stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too

Sin ser yo el mayor fan en esta casa de mundos como el del Punk y similares, sí he de reconocer que siempre he tenido una especial simpatía (si se permite la palabra) por una banda como Fugazi. No es solo una reverencia basada en la nostalgia, sino también en el agradecimiento por una revolución llevada a cabo en los noventa en la que se unieron el corte primario del género madre con la experimentación y actitudes propias de los movimientos mayoritarios esos años, dando lugar a una fusión entre contestarismo y nihilismo que convierten al mundo del Post-Hardcore en una escena más interesante de lo que a priori aparenta.
Fundamental en todo esto sería el EP homónimo lanzado por Fugazi en 1988, un conjunto de canciones que marcaría una época por convertirse en una especie de eslabón perdido (junto a la obra de Big Black) entre el legado de bandas icónicas como Sex Pistols o The Clash y la posterior de otras más conocidas por vosotros como At The Drive-In, Shellac o Refused, conjunto al que seguirían algunos de los discos más brillantes presentados en toda la década de los noventa.
El caso es que hoy, de forma sorpresiva, ha saltado a la palestra la existencia de un material anterior al EP homónimo, un material que Dischord Records, el sello que se ha encargado de poner en circulación las Live Series, pretende lanzar bajo el nombre de First Demo. Del lanzamiento formarán parte las canciones presentadas en el material homónimo, la inédita ‘Turn Off Your Guns‘ e ‘In Defense of Humans‘ (la cual fue presentada en una recopilación anterior), temas que fueron grabados en su momento con Fugazi con solo diez conciertos a sus espaldas.
Los temas inéditos ya habían sido disfrutados por los fans en directo pero no habían sido aún recogidos en un lanzamiento oficial de la banda hasta el momento. No hay fecha aún para la puesta en circulación de este First Demo, pero todo apunta a que se pondrá a la venta en algún momento antes de que acabe este año. Y ahí estaremos para contároslo.

There are some major icicles hanging from the back deck and the gutters up front. Pretty simple setup - Nikon SB-24 flash on a stand behind the ice - location should be obvious. Fired with Cactus trigger.
Played around a bit in post but ultimately didn't do anything but crop and b&w conversion.
There are a ton of creative things I wanted to try (gelling the strobe, moving the strobe directly under the nice, etc), but it's )(*#@$ cold out there! I gave it about ~5 minutes - grabbed a few shots and called it a night.

This free-flying Night heron can be found at the sea lion enclosure at feeding time each day. It was very confiding, allowing me to get close. Even after feeding time was long after, after I had wandered around the zoo and returned to the enclosure on my way out, the heron was still perched there, head tucked in its feathers as the temperature dropped. Stunning bird.
See here for a recent report on these much discussed birds.
Further information from Stephen at Lothianbirdnews.
An update on zoo-derived Night Herons. Thanks to Jo Elliot, Animal Records
Keeper at the zoo and formerly Senior Keeper of the Bird Section, we now have
better info on what may be only two remaining birds. In summary:
Bird 1 - single vertically-split band half blue half yellow, seen April 09 to
date (at least); this is a "new style" band, probably numbered, used on birds
hatched 1989 to 1993 [a small possibility this bird is one ringed from 1997 to
2004, when sequences used were not recorded so carefully]; if caught numbers may
be readable, and thereby pin down hatch year.
Bird 2 - red over blue left (blue appears green in photos), red right to 2006
but missing subsequently, bird seen to date; this individual seems to have old
style bands used from 1983 to 1987 (possibly 1988?); again if caught it may be
possible to confirm lack of numbers and also check for transponder fitted to
(some?) birds in that period, thus confirm year.
Alan's 2006 photos were key to this identification, since careful comparison
with more recent images (thanks also to Bruce) suggests it is the same bird, it
just dropped a colour band btwn 2006 and 2008 (and they are not closed bands,
just a wrap round plastic ring like off a ring-binder, so they could easily be
lost).
In addition, the zoo inform us that a bird with metal ring and red right,
red-lime-blue left, ringed (and transpondered) in 1983 was definitely still at
the zoo in 2000.
In summary, it is likely that the current ages of remaining two are 16 and 23
yrs respectively, and the metal-ringed bird was 17 yrs old in 2000, but without
catching the former two are strictly unconfirmed. The current published
longevity records I can trace are 16 yrs in Europe and 21 yrs for N American
race (hoactli), the zoo birds are of course the latter.
Zoo not sure if they will try to catch birds, though it does not look to
difficult a job to me given their regular occurrence (apparently routine at
sealion feeding 11:15hrs) and if there are any volunteers (ringers?) for such I
would happily pass on!
Finally, it is remarkable that these birds are probably out of the zoo in the
local area for most of the time yet are hardly ever reported (Mike's sighting
last New Year's Eve excepted, the only other adult in Lothian since 2001 was the
bird at Bavelaw in Feb 2007, with a juv in Haddington in 2002 per BirdGuides
only). Anecdotal info per zoo staff is that their birds "winter on the Water of
Leith", also a report of one "seen regularly in Haddington", but these are
unconfirmed and undated. Thus all further records of Night Herons in or out of
the zoo, preferably with colour band details, would be most welcome!
Thaipusam actually celebrates the birthday of the Hindu deity Subramaniam. On this occasion, Hindus show the sincerity of their faith. It is a time for making and fulfilling vows. Devotees pray for divine help and make vows. When their prayers are answered, they fulfil their vows.
To do this, a devotee would pierce his cheeks, tongue, face or other suitable body parts with sharp objects. Next his friends or relatives load a *kavadi on his shoulder. Finally, in a trance-like manner, he goes on a 4km journey of faith.
Others, including young children, might join the procession carrying only milk pots. The Thaipusam Singapore procession starts at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and ends at the Sri Thandayuthapani Temple on Tank Road.
At first look, one might think that the festival starts at one temple and ends at another. Not so. Many of the devotees start fasting a month before the Thaipusam Singapore festivities. Others fast a week. Yet others three days.
A Hindu friend said this to me, "If you are going to put a 12-inch skewer through your cheeks and a hundred spikes in your chest, you'd better take your fast seriously!"
* A kavadi is a cage-like structure carried by devotees during the Thaipusam Festival.
It is traditionally decorated with peacock feathers and aluminium plates which show images of Hindu deities. Sharp spikes criss-cross its lower section.
An elaborate kavadi might weigh up to 15kg! It is quite something just to lift it. But these chaps I saw actually walked with them for 4km - kavadis, skewers, hooks, spikes and all!
Some of them even skipped and danced with their kavadis. Either they have great endurance or they have some supernatural help.

SAY HELLO TO TALLI. This is Talli, as is Canon EOS Rebel T2i :) She's my new DSLR and I am PSYYYCHED!
This picture isn't that great, I know, but the lighting in my house isn't too great and I'm still trying to figure my camera out since I got it today.
----
If you're wondering why this picture is called BABY it's because three days ago or so I bought a Canon EOS 50D in Seattle (for an AMAZING PRICE let me just say). Unfortunately! There was a smudge/fingerprint on the sensor chip on the inside on the camera and Canon and the store refused to clean it because they said it could have been made by anyone. Luckily I noticed it in time to return it but then I was out of a camera (and an AMAZING camera, at that) and I was just so so so sad :(. So i'm glad to have a camera again :) Even though it may not be as pro as the 50D which I LOVED. I still am REALLY digging this one so YAY! :)
sorry for the essay guys ;)
