Avec Hannah, c’était en décembre je crois, nous avons fait des photos en guettant la lumière, en vain… nous nous sommes rabattus sur les tissus et l’apesanteur finalement.

"Overwhelmed" - Sandbanks Provincial Park

“What appears to us as tenacity is often simply adaptation.” – Ed Lehming This cottonwood tree, seemingly overwhelmed by the ever-shifting drifting sand, is not alone. These trees have adapted with a root system that allows for fluctuations in sand depth. I’ve seen the tree trunks several feet above the sand, as if the trees are on stilts, and one like this buried to an equal depth. The root…

“Shelf Ice on Lake Ontario” - Lakeshore Beach, PEC

“Water, in its many forms, continues to amaze me. From warm gentle streams in summer to the surprising frozen cryovolcanoes of the shelf-ice of the Great Lakes, water is ever changing” – Ed Lehming Today, I went for a walk along the shores of Lake Ontario. My destination, once more, was Lakeshore Beach in Sandbanks Provincial Park, which I have written about quite a bit lately. Just a few weeks…

Forever red-eye flighter

Sort of symphatize with this fellow, knowing the feeling of from several red-eye-flights during years of travelling.

The Long-tailed cormorant or Reed Cormorant, Microcarbo africanus, is a small shag around 55 cm long. It has a wingspan of 80-90 cm and males and females are similar in appearance. And their tail feathers are longer than on most cormorants I've seen.

Juvenile and non-breeding adults have browner plummage and white chest. These cormorants breed in Africa south of Sahara and Madagascar. Favourite habitats are freshwater wetlands or quiet coasts.

Not exactly quiet

I am not sure how the group of cormorants this belonged to ended were I found it. Close to a Resort with pools and beachlife, and large colonies of weaver birds was not exactly quiet. And it was even low season at Hotel Seme Beach Resort, near Limbe in southern Cameroon. The amount of birds at and around this resort was astoundishing.

Perfect for me, who rarely try out beach life or swimming pools when I can avoid it. Spending time looking for birds to photograph and study are so much more relaxing.

Foreboding of flight home

This was one of the last shots photos taken on this trip. Less than 36 hour later we left Cameroon on a delayed night flight, arriving in Brüssel/Bruxelles before lunch later that day. Red eye-flight indeed.

But our red eyes did not last forever.
