Air, almost sea and land

in voilk •  3 months ago

    Hello, photography enthusiasts. Sea and land? That sounds like a restaurant menu. But yes, it is sea and land, only it is not quite sea, in any case it would be "almost sea" and land. These are some shots of animals and birds, both from the bush and the coast. They were taken at different times, some in the countryside and others on the beach.

    One of my favorite birds, the Tocororo, Cuban national symbol, which is difficult to appreciate since it lives in the countryside, in mountainous areas, and is very elusive. Its three basic colors, red, white and blue, and the way they are distributed on its body, give it a unique identity and beauty. Its song is very similar to its name. Could it be that they named it that way?🤪

    The classic Totí, with its intense black, unmistakable, I think it is quite common everywhere in this island.

    A baby crab, who came out to meet me, that is I met him in his morning warm-up.

    The elusive and intrigued "shore doggie", as the locals call these thread-tailed lizards, love to bask in the sun, at any time of the day, even if it cracks the rocks. What resistance!

    And the seagull trying to catch his breakfast early in the morning, on the beach. It was after a fisherman who was walking with his net on the shore and every time he pulled it out, he gave it something to eat. She seemed tame, lucky for me because I was able to take some pictures of her. I hope you like this photographic proposal, see you soon!


    ! [Spanish]Hola apasionados de la fotografía. ¿Mar y tierra? Eso suena a menú de restaurant. Pero si, es mar y tierra, solo que no es mar del todo, en todo caso sería "casi mar" y tierra. Se trata de algunas tomas de animales y aves, tanto del monte como de la costa. Fueron tomadas en distintos momentos, algunas en el campo y otras en la playa. Una de mis aves preferidas, el Tocororo, símbolo nacional cubano, que es difícil de apreciar ya que habita en el campo, en zonas montañosas, y es muy escurridizo. Sus tres colores fundamentales, rojo, blanco y azul, y además la forma en que se distribuyen en su cuerpo, le confieren una identidad y belleza única. Su canto es muy parecido a su nombre. ¿Será que lo llamaron así por eso?🤪 El clásico Totí, con su negro intenso, inconfundible, creo que es bastante habitual en todas partes de esta isla. Un cangrejo bebé, que salió a mi encuentro, o sea yo me encontré con él en su calentamiento matutino. Al escurridizo e intrigado "perrito de costa", como le dicen los lugareños a estos lagartos de cola roscada, les encanta tomar el sol, a cualquier hora del día, aunque raje las piedras. ¡Que resistencia! Y la gaviota tratando de pescar su desayuno bien temprano en la mañana, en la playa. Estaba detrás de un pescador que andaba con su red en la orilla y cada vez que la sacaba éste le daba algo para comer. Parecía domesticada, para mí suerte porque pude tomarle algunas imágenes. Espero les agrade ésta propuesta fotográfica. ¡Nos vemos!
