“Magnificent Great Egret”

This elegant heron is completely white with its magnificent plumage, reminding lace.

The bill of the Great egret is sharp, long and yellow in color. The bird has long, black feet and legs. During the breeding season, the bill becomes a bit darker while the legs get lighter. This bird possesses a very long neck, exceeding the length of its body. The bird has a notable kink of its neck, curving the necks into a “S” shape when flying.

During the breeding season, these birds grow long, lacy shaped feathers known as “aigrettes”, stretching them in an impressive display.

“Western osprey in Dominican Republic”

The osprey is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range.

The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.

The osprey has several adaptations that suit its piscivorous lifestyle. These include reversible outer toes, sharp spicules on the underside of the toes, closable nostrils to keep out water during dives, and backward-facing scales on the talons which act as barbs to help hold slippery fish, and dense plumage which is oily and prevent its feathers from getting wet.

“Majestic Brown pelican”

With their broad wings and long beaks, brown pelicans are clumsy on land, but the largest pelicaniformes have a rare elegance in the air and a formidable efficiency when they dive to fish in the seas around the American continent.

On the coastline, brown pelicans frolic from dawn to dusk. Bathing birds, they spend most of the day catching their daily two kilos of fish. In disorderly squadrons, they play on wind currents, then swoop down from a height of 30 m on schools of sardines and anchovies. This species frequently follows fishing boats.

Their expandable gular pouch is tinged with red and green during courtship.

“Playa Carolina, Las Terrenas”

Playa Carolina is located in the seaside town of Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic.

Las Terrenas is a former fishing village turned small scale tourism hot-spot due to its postcard-perfect beaches and natural wonders.

Minus many of the large resorts that overwhelm beaches elsewhere on the island (and keep locals from visiting their own beaches).

“Sierra de Samaná hills”

The Cordillera Septentrional is a mountain range that runs parallel to the north coast of the Dominican Republic, with extensions to the northwest as Tortuga island in Haiti, and to the southeast through lowlands to where it rises as the Sierra de Samaná on the Samaná Peninsula.

The Sierra de Samaná stretches along the Samaná peninsula, over a length of 60 kilometers. The peninsula's highest points are: La Meseta at 650 meters, Las Cañitas at 546 meters and Pan de Azúcar at 493 meters.

This mountain range contains deposits of marble and lignite, but only the marble has been mined.

“The flowering of the carnations”

If you thought the flowers opened by themselves, you had no idea.

Eventually, you thought it was little fairies like Tinkerbell who took care of them. But that's in children's movies.

The reality is more pragmatic, there are specialized workers for that, simply.

“Up to your neck in water”

This photo was taken under the bridge connecting Draveil to Juvisy, during the great flood of the Seine at the end of January 2018.

Long exposure of 1 minute and 40 seconds with a Nisi ND1000 filter on the Fujifilm X-T2 with the 10-24mm at 10mm open at f/16, and 200 ISO. I should have thought earlier about adding the ND8 so I could increase the duration and/or open a bit more.
