Often it can be hard to tell how big the "thing" is, in this case this dragonfly was massive, at least the size of my middle finger.
Easy to shoot from 2m away, shame it was moving so much.

I got this from an article in the Washington Post. Article is titled “The hidden ways Trump, DOGE are shutting down parts of the U.S. government”1 dollar limits on credit cards, so crippling people by spending limits on pens and anything that would help us EFFICIENTLY do our jobs!Also, you can send info to reporter securely.

Un comentario común a lo largo del 2022 sobre Terrero fue que qué hacía. El sentir era que iba tarde. Algo raro con lo trabajadora y todoterreno que es.
Para colmo, Agua tardó mucho en llegar, poniendo un doble subrayado a esa percepción de cantante que estaba desaprovechando un momento histórico a su favor.
Con unos visuales de Musté, el largo se mantuvo lejos de los números que cualquiera esperaría tras su chanelazo. Sony fijo que los esperaba. Y fijo que también, por su lado empresarial, se decepcionó.
A punto de cumplirse este catorce el tercer aniversario de su mítica puesta en escena (no digo canción, el detalle) y buen hacer, Chanel lanza Antillas y, atendiendo a los créditos, Sony ya no aparece por ningún lado.
Este sencillo suena en la onda actual, pide verano y soltarse. Es breve y bruto. Tiene un poso de mixtape. Si es música independiente, y en principio por la ausencia de una mayor se asemeja, no lo parece. Sí desesperadilla por sonar (la rimas -illa, la percu machacona, los cambios de tempo rápido-lento tan alternos, siempre buscando que pase algo, que no caiga la noche, o que no amanezca, que el ritmo no pare), aunque la apuesta por un son latino tradicional en lo melódico (que recuerda a la infravalorada Nia y su afán por demostrar que otro latineo es posible) rebaja la impresión inicial.
Tampoco es que necesite un chanelazo 2.0. Ya fue y estuvo bien. Además, sus ganas de pasarlo bonito y llevarnos a la pista son bienvenidas. Pero con esa base tan directa (y sin una multi respirando en su nuca) se echa en falta un mayor espacio para lucir la melodía y mayor finura en los arreglos.
El remate final, más electro, cierra de fábula este sencillo, no que claro si promocional o buzzsingle, porque no hay video.
Chanel, si te has ido por tu cuenta (o te dieron boleto) que se note más. Una parte de ti continúa en Sony. Fuera miedos

The image features a close-up view of a cluster of flowers with soft, pastel-colored petals. The predominant colors are shades of pink, transitioning into light yellow and cream at the tips of the petals. The petals have a smooth texture and are arranged in a way that suggests they are part of a larger bloom. The background is blurred, emphasizing the flowers in the foreground. The overall effect is a gentle and harmonious blend of colors, with the pink hues being the most prominent. The image has a painterly quality, with soft edges and a dreamy aesthetic.

Il pianeta delle Scimmie: è esistito grazie a un’idea geniale (che non erano le scimmie)
Abbiamo vissuto a lungo con un incubo crepuscolare: il Pianeta delle Scimmie. Ma non ci sarebbe mai stato senza un’idea che molti di noi usano ancora adesso.

in reply to kalkbrenner • • •Das Bild zeigt eine Silhouette eines großen Baumes vor einem dunklen Nachthimmel. Der Baum hat einen dicken Stamm und einen breiten Kronenbereich, der sich gegen den Himmel abzeichnet. Der Himmel wechselt von einem tiefen Blau am oberen Rand zu einem helleren Blau und einem Hauch von Orange am Horizont, was auf die Dämmerung hinweist. Ein kleiner, heller Punkt, möglicherweise der Mond oder eine Stern, ist am Horizont zu sehen. Der Boden ist dunkel und unklar, was die Silhouette des Baumes noch stärker hervorhebt. Die Umgebung wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einer sanften Landschaft im Hintergrund.
