Two corellas crowd a lorikeet family at breakfast. A confused kookaburra flies over to watch the action until it gets a little too close. Although the kookaburra makes some token attempts to chase the lorikeets away, I think he really enjoys their antics. He's the teacher at their Sunday school picnic almost every day. And the Loris seem to enjoy teasing him. Note that they are plucking his feathers at 2:30
The first day of the month is called “tsuitachi” in Japanese, when people in Ise customarily rise early for a visit to the shrine, to offer thanks for the month past and to pray for good fortune in the future. This custom is referred to as “Tsuitachi Mairi,” meaning a pilgrimage on the first day of the month. To welcome these pilgrims of Tsuitachi Mairi, Akafuku started producing a special seasonal rice cake available only on the first of every month except January. Since the recipe changes monthly to reflect the season, each of the 11 Tsuitachi-mochi can only be enjoyed once a year. (https://www.kankomie.or.jp/en/report/detail_186.html)
This June’s Pitti was slightly different for me than the past three I’ve been to. While I still did most of what I always do—shooting some street style, photographing the booths, interviewing people I meet along the way—I was also engaged with…
The Great Macaw Colpa is located on the left bank of the Tambopata River within the Tambopata National Reserve.
It is recognized worldwide for its spectacular nature and considered the largest in the Peruian Amazon due to the large number of Macaws.
Every morning after the first rays of the sun, they perform their flutter ceremony before starting the Collpeo, which consists of ingesting clay from the mud wall formed on the banks of the rivers by the erosion of the river.
This wall is a soil rich in mineral salts and nutrients, organic components that are used by these birds as a complement to their daily diet.
The Guacamayos clay lick must be visited to understand the beauty and spectacularity of its beauty.
There’s something about Northern Thailand - it’s slow, comforting, like relaxing your shoulders after a long day.
This place helped me grow so much. It completely changed my life. It was my first solo trip, the scariest thing I’ve ever done. And it changed my life.
Northern Thailand will forever hold a very close place in my heart. Without it, I wouldn’t have kick started all of the growing I’ve done.
