vanstaffs photostream - the home of Tussi...and Sissi.

I am early retired due to chronic migraines and I love to take photos and to get out in our awesome nature.

Note; I am fully age retired from March 2016.

I need to move and I like to go on walks with my camera - when and if I feel OK.

I have, in the latest couple of years, found out that the nature is rather fantastic and gives me many photo opportunities, so I try to go out at least once per day in our amazing nature.

Flickr is a great way to share your photos with nice people all over the globe and to see other peoples work. I shoot all that I find interesting or beautiful - so it can be nature, bugs, birds, architecture, landscapes or people you'll find in my photostream - and our rescue cat Tussi of course ;) - she's after all my favorite subject; always full of mischief and very, very photogenic.

Here's my Tussi;

...and this is me, myself & I;

We got ourselves a new, cute cat in August 2006; Tussi, and as I didn't take so many photos of our both previous beloved cats, I decided to take many, many of our new little precious cat - sometimes it is just a little too many of her, if I don't have the power to go out and take photos - I know ;)

Unfortunately, Tussi got cancer and was put to sleep April 27th, 2021 sadly enough.

We got us a new little kitty called Sissi on June 2nd, 2021.

Photographing and cameras has always meant a lot to me, and I do believe that a photo says more than a thousand words. I almost always have had a SLR camera and enjoyed the hobby since my 14:th birthday - that was many cameras and years ago ;) Agfa, Konica, Rolleicord, Rolleiflex, Yashica, Contax, Leica, Chinon, Hasselblad, Contax, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Canon [digital from now on], Canon, Panasonic Lumix and back to Nikon - ahem, and now it looks like I'm going back to Panasonic Lumix more and more again ;) ) -- Ahem again; Now it looks like I going for Olympus MicroFourThirds too - well, they share the very same lens mount as Panasonic Lumix does, so I will keep my current Lumix cameras as well!

so please view them as large as it gets on your screen ;)

preferable in 1920x1080 if possible, or full screen at least.
