An iconic “2CV” in Amsterdam’s “Swammerdambuurt”. Its full name is “Citroën 2 Chevaux”.🐴🐴 In the Netherlands, it’s nicknamed “Lelijk eendje” (“ugly duck”). 🦆🇫🇷🇳🇱

The area is named after Dutch biologist and microscopist Jan Swammerdam (1637–1680). He is known for his groundbreaking work on insect anatomy and for being one of the first to observe red blood cells.
👀🩸💉

The neighborhood is located in the Weesperzijde area, near the Amstel River. 🗺️📍

I spent the weekend visiting #NationalParks outside #Bogotá, #Colombia, mainly for #birds. There was plenty of rain, and the light wasn't great, but it was wonderful to explore new ecosystems (Páramo and Bosque Alto-Andino) and see some distinctive species.

Andean #Condor (one of two soaring and then on a cliff in #Chingaza NP)

Female Torrent #Duck (#BosqueGuajira Reserva Natural)

Black-billed Mountain-#Toucan (Bosque Guajira)

Boyaca #Antpitta (#Sumapaz NP)

Large black vulture with big white panels on the upperside of the wings, soaring in a grey sky with its primary feathers spread.
Orange duck with dark oily-coloured upperparts, a stiff tail and a bright red bill standing on a wet boulder in the middle of a rushing stream.
Toucan sitting on branch - the bill is all black, the underside is bluish with a white throat, and the upperside and tail are dark.
Small, almost tailless cinnamon-coloured bird perched on the withered black leaves of one of the local Espeletia sunflower plants. It's head is raised to sing.

Storybook Art: CHICKEN LITTLE
This is an illustration that I created for the 2012 Tomie dePalo Award competition, from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Colorful drawing illustrating a passage in the classic story, "Chicken Little". It depicts on the left 3 distressed fowl: a rooster, chicken and duck. They are holding tiny umbrellas and staring down the road at a little yellow chick, desperately telling goose and turkey about the sky falling down and the inevitable end of the world. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

A little more fun with the TTArtisan Mirror Lens. I love the effect it has on the gold grasses, the sand and the trees although it probably doesn't show itself well on a small screen.

By the way, these ducks and I are building a pretty strong rapport, so expect to see more (and hopefully interesting) photos of them in the future. 😀

Horizontal frame. Two ducks posing on the sand about 1/4 from the bottom of the frame. To the left is a white hybrid and to the right is a Mallard. Both are looking to the right. Behind them golden grasses curl into rings beautifully as this is an effect of the “donut bokeh” lens used. In the distance are green pines.
