Paul Verlaine - Chanson d’automne
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l’heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure,
Et je m’en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m’emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
6 GIUGNO 1944
L’annuncio dello sbarco alla resistenza francese, venne dato alle 21 del 1° giugno con una frase in codice trasmessa da Radio Londra, utilizzando i primi versi della poesia “Chanson d’automne” di Paul Verlaine.
Il primo verso, Les sanglots longs des violons de l’automne (“I lunghi singhiozzi dei violini d’autunno”), avvertì i Maquis (la Resistenza francese), situati nella regione d’Orléans, di compiere azioni di sabotaggio contro la rete logistica tedesca nei giorni successivi.
Il messaggio in codice significava che l’invasione era imminente …
Una poesia importante che proprio in questi giorni merita di essere ricordata come le tante giovani vite spezzate da una indicibile violenza, ragazzi a cui ancora oggi, a distanza di tanti anni, sento di dover dire un grande e immenso Grazie per la libertà che ci hanno donato, spesso a costo delle loro stesse vite …

From earlier this year. One of the 3 recently fledged juvenile Common Kingfishers with a tasty (albeit tiny) fish. You have to start somewhere.
You can tell this female is a juvenile by the dark feet and the remains of the white aiming spot on the end of the bill.
A Common Tern fishing at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach, California.
A graceful, black-and-white waterbird, the Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America. It can be seen plunging from the air into water to catch small fish along rivers, lakes, and oceans.
The pale chanting goshawk is an opportunistic raptor and eats a wide variety of prey including small mammals, lizards, birds, large insects and carrion. It has also been recorded predating upon Tent tortoise and Leopard tortoise hatchlings which are swallowed whole while the shell is still soft. There is some evidence of social hunting in breeding groups but solitary hunting is the norm. Pale chanting goshawks commonly associate with foraging Honey badgers and feed on organisms that are flushed by the Honey badger's feeding activity. This association increases the hunting opportunities and prey capture success of the pale chanting goshawk while the honey badger does not suffer any loss of foraging efficiency. (Wikipedia)
Ospreys such as this one are unique among North American raptors for their ability to dive into water to catch fish, which is their primary food source. And they are very good at it. "Over several studies, Ospreys caught fish on at least 1 in every 4 dives, with success rates sometimes as high as 70 percent," according to AllAboutBirds.org. This bird was photographed near the Fox River in Northern Illinois.

A royal spoonbill catches lunch at the lagoon. It is a 4 km walk from our friends house around the lagoon and beach and back to the house but always some pictures to be taken!
Hope you have a successful Friday and thanks very much if you have time for a comment.
its re-creation in a photograph must be based upon technical knowledge, guided and supported by artistic inspiration :-)

In my previous post, a snowy egret had struck at a tiny fish as it flew by the water’s surface hoping for a fly-by catch. It was indeed successful and after gulping this tiny minnow down it continued its search for more.
On this particular morning, the tide was coming in and there was a feeding frenzy like I had not witnessed before. Literally a hundred or more birds were feeding in the shallow water feasting on the bounty of small fish. There were snowy egrets, great egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons and white ibis to name a few. There was also a pod of baby tarpon feeding nearby, although they definitely didn’t fit the bill of “small fish!”
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

"Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." -Benjamin Franklin
Four Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) exploring their lucks in the intertidal mudflats with perfect following up moves. The first one got its catch in the beak right after taking it off from the water surface with the typical style while the rest of the three were following the same pattern of moves in the backdrop. The symmetry of moves and the Bokeh transition with the hint of Depth of field are the special effects in this unique composition. Pics was taken from Patibunia beach, West Bengal, India.
Spent fours hours at the river yesterday watching the Juvenile Kingfishers as they honed their fishing skills ...
Caught this one as it returned to its perch after successfully catching a tiny fish ...
Stay safe out there ...

For those who have been following along with the saga of the solar-powered faux candles - here they are!! And I learned several things in the process of getting them to function:
1) when faced with big jobs like tax info organization, I will instead choose smaller more manageable tasks,
2) I am like a terrier with a bone, I’ll keep at it until I’m pleased with the results,
3) problem solving is best done after a nap - my brain evidently comes up with possibilities as I sleep,
4) when in doubt, go back to the source to see if they give you clues as to how to proceed or to solve,
5) FB’s bots follow all your likes and will put things in your path to buy again - probably IG and Amazon too,
6) I am often so anxious to show you things that I put up pictures of things that aren’t picture perfect - I should clean them up before posting

After many years of putting up a variety of birdhouses we finally have a nesting pair of swallows who have taken up our offer and moved in to one of them. They are very attentive parents and are constantly checking the contents of their new home which I assume is one or two eggs.? Two years ago we did find a flying squirrel nesting in one of the other bird houses. The flying squirrel is nocturnal so we had no idea he/she was there until I went to take it down for some maintenance. I almost fell off the ladder when he/she jumped on my shoulder.
It's not much of a photo but I couldn't help but share our delight at our new tenants.
I've had great fun testing out the slow motion video function on my new camera on this pair - but - I am definitely not a videographer.
P.S. I don't own a 300mm f2.8 lens so I don't know why the EXIF info on this shot says that was what it was taken with ... wish I did own one. The photo was taken with a Sigma/Bigma 50-500mm Minolta a-mount with a mount adaptor.
