dendroica: THE GODFATHER (Nature) - He is big - 4 meters tall and over 4 tons in weight, he is the “Godfather.” I have visualized this scene many times. I have checked and rechecked my equipment and decided upon the camera and lens combination. I now relax and control my breathing as they come into view. The next ten minutes are bliss of forgetfulness as I zone in to the task at hand; only one moment stands out. He stands still before me in all his magnificence, raising his trunk filled with the red Kalahari dust. In one fluid movement he sprays his forehead and for one brief moment he is covered in the magic of dust and light.

filipeanut: Tonight I’d be briefly introduced to a long tradition, albeit one that has evolved over time and place. Older than America and even older than the Philippines, with roots that seem to end (or begin rather) at Aztec civilization. Sent to the Philippines between 1565 and 1821 via trade ships coming from Mexico (alongside another famous Aztec import: chocolate), a hybridization of Catholicism’s “All Saints Day” and the Aztec’s festival presided over by their goddess Mictecacihuatl, the holiday that most Filipinos today call “Todos los Santos” or “Undas” would simply become another opportunity for them to get together, socialize, and eat. http://www.filipeanut.com/2012/11/halloween-vs-undas/
