Biodiversity: a long word that simply means “life”…
This past weekend (December 3 and 4), citizen scientists on three (sorry, four) islands across the Caribbean participated in “Inter-Island BioBlitz 2022.” It wasn’t really a competition – but who says scientists (and wannabes like me) don’t love to compete? So, there was an element of that, across the islands.
Trinidad and Tobago invited Barbados and Jamaica to join them this year. The University of the West Indies’ St. Augustine campus in T&T partnered with iNaturalist and the Trinidad & Tobago Naturalists’ Club for the bioblitz.

At the end of the weekend, there were over 4,000 observations of over 1,000 species of birds, butterflies, plants, trees, and bugs of various sorts. Many are still being uploaded.

Tanta vida transborda em meio às nossas expectativas- de uma pessoa, de uma época de tudo o que incomoda, do que não se diz, do que é valioso e por isso, não vendemos fiado.
É fácil criar metáforas para não se sofrer,
Para nos desarmar,
Para criar distrações,
Para trazer a lucidez ao que a mente precisa despertar, combater inclusive. A verdade é que nos afirmamos o tempo inteiro em meio ao nosso trajeto. A gente experimenta certas vivências, experiências perigosas para nos deixar impressionar diante ao novo. Este ( o novo), os olhos enxergam antes mesmo, da constatação das nossas certezas. É um mau exemplo, por onde geralmente, tentamos nos guiar, pois diante dos sobressaltos da vida, tem sempre um incômodo disfarçado de intuição ali dizendo: desperta! Mas você ignorar, porque quer o que impressiona, ou seja, ” a paisagem nova sob a linha do olhar”. Afinal, a monotonia…

Bumblebees play – Darcy Hitchcock
White Spell
peace finds me
in the soft murmur of an aurum hush

warms my sepia eyes
under winter skies
peace finds me.

Clouds
A poem in Vietnamese by Vũ Hoàng Thư Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm PHotography: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

a cloud
you appeared
I was just there
seemed like
I was staring

in the breeze
rather
nothing new
truly is
neither this nor
ever
that

mây
em về ta chẳng bước
nhưng
đứng yên
không hẳn đã dừng lại đây
đôi khi như
đợi chốn nầy
thật ra
nhìn
gió
và
mây
vẫn thường

Female Photographers In The Victorian Era. — beetleypete

Unfortunately, most of these pioneering ladies are uncredited. However, here is Jessie Tarbox-Beales, the first professional female press photographer. Jessie again. These other ladies are unknown to me. Some are taking the earliest version of ‘selfies’, using their own cameras. The rest are being photographed by others.
