Isn't it remarkable'

Like every time a raindrop falls

It's just another ordinary miracle today

Gavião-caramujeiro/Snail Kite

Rostrhamus sociabilis

 

A hawk typically found in wetlands, such as marshes, swamps, and the edges of lakes and rivers. It has a curved, sharp beak adapted for feeding on snails

 

Street photographers pride themselves on situational awareness, yet it seems every time I run into one on the street, I can bang off several frames before they catch me In the act of taking their photo... without resorting to burst mode. The next one after this frame has him looking rather stunned, followed by a big smile. I'll keep those to myself. I think this one makes him look like a Pro shooter. Seen in the Latin Quarter of central Galway, Ireland.

The Osprey was searching the small lake for an easy meal. Even after this attempt the Opsrey circled a few more times and was a repeat visitor over serveral days.

Rente às árvores vamos, húmidos humildes

Dizem que é outono. (...)

Close to the trees we walk, wet humble

They say it's Fall.

An arctic tern eyes up an unsuspecting target passing through its territory on Inner Farne. It was much better to watch this than participate!

Always fabulous to see the eagles fishing, and extra special when the action is closer and pointing in your direction.

Pound nets consist of a fence leader that interrupts the movements of target species and a heart that funnels fish into the trap (pound) via a no return mesh tunnel. The series of nets are anchored to the bottom perpendicular to shore and are set in nearshore areas, with depth often increasing toward the pound.

 

The netting usually reaches above the waterline with the pound open at the surface. Pound nets are harvested by concentrating the catch in one corner and removing it with a dip net. The leaders may be as long as 1,300 feet (400 meters) with pounds measuring 160 square feet.

 

Risks to Sea Turtles

Populations of loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and leatherback sea turtles are at risk in areas where pound net fishing is abundant, such as the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters.

 

Sea turtles may become entangled in any portion of the pound net, most commonly around their head and front flippers. Entanglements can result in bodily injury or drowning.

 

Entrapment occurs when a sea turtle finds its way into a pound net but cannot get out.

 

Sea turtles may also become pinned against the netting in a fast moving current and drown if they cannot free themselves.

 

Risks to Marine Mammals

Small coastal cetacean species, such as bottlenose dolphins, can become entrapped and or entangled in pound nets.

 

The mesh netting of leaders can act like a gillnet and entangle dolphins. Because the nets are often at or near the surface, cetaceans may be able to breathe until they are released. Once an animal is caught, stress may lead to bodily injury, with strong currents often complicating entanglements.

 

Bycatch Reduction

Regulations require modified leaders (composed of stiffer materials) to be set more than 10 feet from the low waterline during the summer to reduce turtle bycatch in Virginia. Use of stiffer materials in the leaders has likely lowered dolphin entanglement as well.

CSXT 8055 leads a YN2 GE on an ethanol train bound for Iowa. One of those pictures you stare at for a long time on the editor and wave the white flag and say "this shit won't ever look right"

 

Enjoy this awkward photo of something slightly notable to see in 2018 but seems really unlikely and would attract way too much attention in 2024.

Done in .6...

Took me several hours :-D:-D...

Enjoy...

Chiswell Street, City of London

Lo mejor de lo peor

Basta un pequeño olvido

un instante de distracción

y las agujas del reloj

inician

un tiempo propio para cada gesto.

Entonces

los espejos no sirven para reflejarnos:

es nuestro rostro que repite la figura

unidimensional y fría

dibujada en el vidrio.

 

Todo es probable tratándose de espejos,

han acumulado en sucesivas estaciones

las ínfimas señales de cada poro,

los signos de cada paso de las horas,

los desvaríos que provoca un olvido

un poema

un instante de distracción.

Todo es probable tratándose de espejos,

sólo ellos desnudan nuestro rostro:

sospechoso cómplice de uno mismo.

PRESENTACION

El sol viene cada mañana, pero no es ningún amigo

Me visto y me voy de nuevo

La lluvia sigue cayendo en los huesos y la suciedad retorcidas

Estoy enterrado a mi corazón aquí en esta herida

El fuego sigue ardiendo, pero me está esperando en el frío

Abajo en el agujero
