#la Iguana

[fuyuko-miyuki]

Since kazoumi was living with Zach in Mexico they DEFINITELY went to parties and quinces (15th birthday parties for girls as a celebration of them growing from "girls" into "women" but with many parts to it) kazoumi HAS to know how to dance all the dances there are to know😼 cumbias, bachata, huapango, norteñas etc etc but I feel like he'd be an EXPERTTT at la iguana which just from the name explains itself, all it is is crawling on the floor around the quinceañera, while still having a sort of rhythm to the beat, and having people circle around you dancing.

If this isn't enough of an example you can easily look it up and there should be multiple examples 😋

I just love thinking about dumb things like this at times when it comes to kazoumi and his time with Zach, it brings me joy

Viva México 🇲🇽

A drawing I did this past September

Remember that September 15th is pretty much what everyone thinks that mexicans do in 5 de Mayo lol

It’s always nice to draw traditional stuff from time to time

DEJA QUE TE CUENTE UN CUENTO: JUANA LA IGUANA

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY: JUANA THE IGUANA MARGARITA VAZQUEZ, Luz Violeta Escritora – Columnista En un hermoso parque habitaban tres hermanas Iguanas,  ellas se encontraban platicando entre sí, ¿Cuál sería su suerte viviendo allí?  Su vida era muy cómoda, sin ninguna inspiración, sin esforzarse nada qué más da. Que vivir como todas las demás. Three Iguana sisters lived in a beautiful park, they…

Time for a brief break from posting ceramic animals to post some flesh & blood ones (see alt text for species!)!

My partner's mom & stepdad took us to Costa Rica (near Tamarindo) for his 40th birthday & I was in bird/creature heaven! The nearest rainforest was a bit too far from where we were staying, but I got to experience some wonderful dry tropical forest & estuary/river ecosystems, plus got some good hangout time with the Pacific ocean <3

My partner gave me the good DSLR for the nature tours we went on & it was a joy being able to take pretty OK photos instead of sad zoomed-in cheapest-iPhone ones (obviously I still have a lot to learn, but these are exciting as a beginning!!):

Since our two nature tours were boat-based (one on the Palo Verde River, one on an estuary in Las Baulas park), most of my decent bird photos are herons, as they're larger, generally lower-down, & also move more slowly than goddamn passerines/parrots/smaller birds.

I did get an ok-ish shot of a common black hawk, tho!! LOOK at that eagle-y beak!

& finally, the reptiles!! There were green iguanas & black spiny-tailed iguanas absolutely everywhere...

...AND WE SAW AMERICAN CROCODILES!!

On the Palo Verde river tour we saw some BIG guys (smallest maybe 6', biggest must have been 10'-12')!

& on the estuary tour we saw a few young ones. Two were less than 3' long, and this guy was maybe 4' and let us get super close b/c it was tucked away in the mangrove roots!

I had a wonderful time on this trip and am already looking forward to coming back for a rainforest-focused adventure next time!!

Also, Tamarindo has two really good coffee shops run by the loveliest people (Nordico Coffee & Derecho Sagrado) so if you're ever there, pls check them out!

FIN!

Дикий и неприступный: пляж Фронтон. Wild and forbidding: Fronton Beach.

 Фронтон - дикий пляж расположенный в 7 километрах от рыбацкого городка Лас Галерас на северо-востоке полуострова Самана, Доминикане. Фронтон порадует ценителей нетронутой природы и отдыха вдали от цивилизации. Со стороны суши пляж окружён тропическим лесом и скалами. Отдельные утёсы дости��ают 120 метров в высоту. Фронтон – необитаемый уголок Доминиканы. Люди здесь не живут. Зато полно игуан, птиц и подводных обитателей. В многочисленных пещерах также живут летучие мыши.

И хотя пляж Фронтон изолирован от стандартных туристических маршрутов и не располагает привычными удобствами, он продолжает пользоваться спросом. Частыми гостями этого места становятся те, кто хочет заняться дайвингом . Вдоль берега простирается коралловый риф, который и привлекают ныряльщиков. Чистейшая прозрачная вода с максимальной видимостью создает оптический обман. Кажется, что глубина совсем маленькая, а на самом деле в районе пляжа Фронтон идет резкий подводный обрыв. Сразу за  коралловым рифом начинается открытый океан и глубина – от 500 метров!

Fronton is a wild beach located 7 kilometers from the fishing town of Las Galeras in the northeast of the Samana Peninsula, Dominican Republic. The pediment will delight connoisseurs of untouched nature and relaxation away from civilization. On the land side, the beach is surrounded by tropical forest and rocks. Some cliffs reach 120 meters in height. Fronton is an uninhabited corner of the Dominican Republic. People don't live here. But it is full of iguanas, birds and underwater inhabitants. Bats also live in numerous caves.

And although Fronton Beach is isolated from standard tourist routes and does not have the usual amenities, it continues to be in demand. Frequent guests of this place are those who want to go diving. A coral reef stretches along the coast, which attracts divers. The purest clear water with maximum visibility creates an optical illusion. It seems that the depth is very shallow, but in fact there is a sharp underwater cliff in the area of ​​Fronton Beach. Immediately behind the coral reef, the open ocean begins and the depth starts from 500 meters!

List of Year 24 complete manga work in English or Italian

I made this list mainly to myself, but you can easily use it too. I am on a mission to read every Year 24 group manga available, so here I collected:

licensed manga (in English and Italian)

online scans

Every licensed manga has a the name of the publisher too, and you might find the Italian translation easier than the Japanese.

I added an "online" to the ones you can definitely find scanned online. Every title is linked to where to read the story nearby, keep in mind these websites come and go and might have ads.

If you see a licensed title in italics it means that the manga cannot be found anywhere online and scanned (and translated). Or that some short stories in the collection (if it is a collection) cannot be found anywhere online and scanned.

Let's start!

The authors are (in order): Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, Riyoko Ikeda, Ryoko Yamagishi, Yasuko Aoike, Yumiko Ooshima, Minori Kimura, Kihara Toshie.
