Here we have a drake of the species Anas superciliosa (Pacific Black Duck) making himself the centre of attention at a small suburban nature reserve at The Binnacle in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia. This is a rework of my original image that never made it to RB due to the bad Colour Noise it contained after I had opened the shadows. The original high resolution .jpg was very dark for as you can imagine, this was a very quick, once-in-a-lifetime-never-to-be-repeated shot and my Shutter Speed was too high. However, now I have Lightroom and Photoshop CS3, I was able to tweak it up to a much better standard. Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fine feathered quackers.

A stylised view of St Ana’s Church, Magozd in Slovenia; my favorite church anywhere, home or away. Its setting is idyllic and this defiant little church, which has survived colossal battles (the Isonzo Front ran right through here) and earthquakes which wrecked nearby villages, has a dreamlike quality to it which I haven’t found elsewhere.

Spent the week in Hawaii on a family vacation. First in three years, which made me realize the purpose of work! Having promised not to spend the whole time with the camera glued to my head I didn’t get too many good pictures, but here’s one snap of Waikiki beach at sunset.
Here is my beloved husband Jacob Mau (on the left) with our good friend Isaac holding premium organic freshly harvested Taro today in Isaac’s Taro (Kalo) fields of Ke’anae, his gifts of Aloha for us. Mahalo Isaac! “So it’s said in one of the ancient Hawaiian legends about the origins of Taro, a root superior and older than people. In Hawai’i, Taro truly is the staff of life. According to the kapu, only men are allowed to grow it. This starchy root has been cultivated worldwide for over 2000 years. The earliest recordings of this versatile plant date from 23 BC, when Greek and Roman writers first located it in Ancient Egypt. Yet only in Hawai’i are the traditions of taro cultivation so tied in to cultural and even religious beliefs and practices. Still today, taro is a way of life. It is the heart beat of the land and its people. Knowledge of its cultivation and its qualities has been passed down from generation to generation. Taro farmers often spend the day in knee high water, planting new keikis, harvesting mature corms, and weeding the abundant tropical growth around the invaluable food source. Botanically, taro (Colocasia Esculenta) belongs to the family of Araceae, which includes the better known philodendron, dieffenbacchia and anthurium. The true taro lover compares the hundreds of ever changing varieties with the same appreciation and poetic language as a fine wine connoisseur distinguishes her wines. “E’ ai a ma’ ona.” The life of Kanaka Maoli, the indigenous Hawai`i people, is linked closely with kalo, also knows as the taro plant. Kalo is believed to have the greatest life force of all foods. According to the Kumulipo, the creation chant, kalo grew from the first-born son of Wakea (sky father) and Papa (earth mother), through Wakea’s relationship with his and Papa’s daughter, Ho`ohokulani. Haloa-naka, as the son was named, was stillborn and buried. Out of his body grew the kalo plant, also called Haloa, which means everlasting breath. Kalo and poi (pounded kalo) are a means of survival for the Hawai`i people. By eating kalo as poi, one at a time as a ritual around the poi bowl (`umeke) at the center of the diners, the protocol of Hawai`i is maintained. This is a ceremony of life that brings people together and supports a relationship of `ohana (family) and of appreciation with the `aumakua (ancestors). Read more on Kalo here We will be at the Grand Wailea in the morning for a very special sunrise ceremony. Jacob and I will be participating in a cultural event, a Hawaiian ceremony and he, along with many other Na Kupuna o Maui (Hawaiian Elders on the island of Maui) from the many Moku (districts) of Maui will be paddling canoes and performing Olelo. We will have a ceremony and a seminar as well. Mahalo nui loa to all of you for your kindness. If you are here on Maui, please join us tomorrow morning for our sunrise ceremony. ‘Ike aku, ‘ike mai, kokua aku kokua mai; pela iho la ka nohana ‘ohana / Translation: Recognize others, be recognized, help others, be helped; such is a family relationship. Explanation: This saying teaches why we should put family first…In the Ohana or family, you know others and they know you, you help others and know you will be helped if there is anything you need Aloha kākou We need Ducks to deal with the serious problem of the large snails in the Taro Fields which are damaging the Taro. Domestic Ducks are the most effective natural organic method for removing the snails. The Golden Apple Snails are invading the fields and ravaging the Taro crops. / It is a serious problem. “Originally from South America and introduced as aquarium pets in the islands, the snails were brought to taro farms on Maui, the Big Island and Kauai as a supplemental crop… to raise them for sale as escargot …. Farmers could not expand the escargot market, while the snails infested the fields and continue to devastate the taro crop. State officials releasing the snails into the wild in an effort to control weeds only made the matter worse… “They were considered innocuous at the time (in the early 1990s), but they are really invasive alien species. All you need is two, and at the end of the year, you are going to have 28 million. And it’s impossible to kill them.” The snails are found on O’ahu, Kaua’i, Maui and the Big Island.” / Read more on The Battle in the Taro Patch here All proceeds from the sales of this image will be used for purchasing and acquiring ducks for the Ke’anae Taro Farmers.
