Sunday photoblogging leftover from Saturday: Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur

i was able to capture this short video clip yesterday of an unknown type of bird, cheerfully warbling in the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, along the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina...



not being a bird-watcher, bonus points for anybody who can tell me what kind of bird that is...

Saturday photoblogging: Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur

today was a beautiful day in buenos aires and i spent much of it walking with a friend through the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, an ecological preserve that lies between downtown and the rio de la plata... it was formed by dumping the excavation debris from the construction of the many subte lines (the buenos aires subway system is known as the subte, short for subterraneo) and letting nature slowly reclaim it... i'd been there before, but had forgotten just how pleasant (and BIG!) it is...

Monday afternoon photoblogging

i didn't post any photos on saturday as i sometimes do, so i figured i would today instead, as a kind of antidote to the ration of gloomy news i subject myself to on a daily basis, particularly toxic it seems on mondays...



i have a new bike, courtesy of a friend who gave it to me as a thank-you gift for letting him stay at my place while i was in the states over the holidays... i am still breaking it in (or is that vice-versa?), and the past two mornings i have been up and out the door shortly after 6... this morning, i took myself over to the paseo de la costera, a park bordering the rio de la plata in the municipality of vicente lopez, to catch the sunrise, and catch it i did...!
