Met this playful labrador male named "Buddy" on a walk. When I decide to shoot in monochrome, it usually is because the colors don't matter. In this case, they did matter, because his eyes were yellow and shone in the sunlight, giving him the look of a fantasy creature.

Still I changed it to monochrome, because I think his eyes don't lose their effect and I'm sure you can use a little bit of imagination. Hope you like it!

His owner told me that it isn't easy to convince strangers that Buddy is a nice dog. But he was very kind indeed, loved to play with Timmi and the owner's little toddler.

Today's fun fact - Black Swans were presumed not to exist because there was only ever records of white ones. Then when Europeans discovered they did in fact exist, in WA Australia, the phrase "black swan" was coined. The Black Swan by scholar Nassim Taleb, was ranked by the Sunday Times one of the 12 most influential books since World War II. Taleb's black swan theory states that dramatic unexpected events matter more to history than regular happenings.

Bit simpler for me, I just like to photograph them on the local lake. Especially at sunset. Like little floating silhouettes. (bit of an older pic, revisiting some unloved pics from my Flickr exile years)

Lachmöwe im Prachtkleid, d.h. ab März zeigt sie sich mit einem schwarzen Kopf und schmalen weißen Augenrändern.

Im Flug kann man die Lachmöwe auch an dem weißen Vorderflügelkeil identifizieren. Dieser kommt sonst nur bei der Dünnschnabelmöwe und der Bonapartmöwe vor, die bei uns absolute Ausnahmeerscheinungen sind. Und den dunklen Kopf hat sonst nur die viel seltenere Schwarzkopfmöwe.

Geranium phaeum (‘Kuro-fuuro’ in Japanese) is a species of geranium (cranesbill) native to Central and Southern Europe. For its quiet appearance with dark purple petals, it’s called Dusky cranesbill or Black widow. Taken in my little garden.
