Hummmmmm….

Aloha: Red-crested Cardinal

This is the first of a long series of posts on my recent Hawaii trip. We visited the island of Kauai and brought back quite a few pictures.

Jack the Sparrow…

All right. That was lame! Here is a House Sparrow…

Gulls N Stuff

Ghosts N Stuff… Gulls N Stuff. Same thing. Right?

The Snowy Egret of Redwood City

I’m not very bird savvy, but I’m pretty sure I got this one right. The bird you’ll see in the images below are of a Snowy Egret.

Long-billed Curlews spotted at Morro Bay

I went to Morro Bay yesterday and couldn’t resist taking a few photos… Surprising! Yeah? The photos featured in this post are only of the Long-Billed Curlews. I will post more photos of Morro Bay later.

UPDATED: Banksy in San Francisco —or the best hide-and-seek game

UPDATE: Jeremy Novy got back to me and said the other pieces were vandalized and couldn’t be fixed. Read what follows, keeping that info in mind.

Banksy, a street artist with an international reputation, just finished a month long residency in NYC. For a while that’s all we could hear and read about . Even Justin Bieber managed to get some of the Banksy hype.

I found Nemo (at the Monterey Bay Aquarium)!

I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium over the weekend, and guess what! I found Nemo. Now it’s your turn. All the fishies (sic) that I liked best and that I was able to take a picture of are down below. And if you know the movie, you should also be able to spot some of Nemo’s friends.

Paris, je t’aime (part V): On a walk from the Louvre to Arc de Triomphe

This post will take you on the second part of the walk from Bastille to Arc de Triomphe. Did you appreciate the break in the middle?

Amsterdam. Tadam!

It’s a truly beautiful city. I hadn’t gone there in years (if at all… I can’t remember), and I really enjoyed (re)discovering the streets and canals of Amsterdam.

Oostende: Avec la Mer du Nord pour dernier terrain vague…

… Et des vagues de dunes pour arrêter les vagues
Et de vagues rochers que les marées dépassent
Et qui ont à jamais le cœoeur à marée basse

Find the odd one out

This is the second post I’m publishing on Pairi Daiza. Can you please help me identify some of the birds in the photos below.

Cranes are not only for building

Below, you’ll find photos of cranes taken at Pairi Daiza -a zoo in Southern Belgium. I don’t usually like visiting zoos because I don’t think it’s necessary to keep animals captive. (Unless it’s for the purpose of saving a species). But this park is a little different, and they even take elephants on a walk around facilities once the visitors are all gone at night.

Spain: a potpourri of Denia and Alicante

I had the opportunity to go back to Spain a couple weeks ago and took a few photos, though a lot fewer than the first time I went this year.

España: taken from Denia’s fort -a bird’s-eye view

So Denia has a fort, and these pictures were taken while I was visiting the fort. Pretty straight forward, right?
