Portrait of a friendly young coffeedealer in a Coffee Bar / Würzburg beside the bridge over the river Main
We found this little guy and his brother and sisters in our woodpile. This is the 4th time we have had a feral or neighbor cat lay their kittens in our yard. Not sure what to do about this. They sure are cute though! HMBT & HSoS!
This was a fairly young one but really friendly. Born during one of the lockdowns so not really used to visitors but followed us up and down the fence and also pecked at the camera lens hoods where he left his slobber marks lol
Week 50/52
Brown squirrel: You know, you shouldn't do drugs..
Black squire: No no no, I just fell into the snow OvO
Brown squirrel: Sure you did..
I couldn't resist :D
I caught this during a walk in the woods and at this spot I noticed these two squirrels. I had just enough time too take a photo of them both on my left and on my right :)
Thanks for your comments and support guys :)
Cheers

My husband and I took our first walk around a local park since moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma last spring. We met the most friendly squirrel.
This photo received a National Geographic Editor's Favorite.
Close to the station at the Nature Reserve, a pair of Common Black Hawks was building a nest while we were there. I still find it quite surprising to see such a black bird in a tropical climate zone (not the only species, if you think of black vultures or other vultures for that matter). They have developed a number of behavioral adaptations to dealing with heat - panting, staying in the shadow when perched and roosting, panting to dissipate heat, drooping their wings, and I also read they actively provide shade for their eggs to protect them from direct sunlight.

no big glittery icons or invitations , please !
I've discovered that most Thai people like having their picture taken especially if you ask them nicely in Thai. Then you get a bigger smile and a wave because it is so unexpected!
Giant Porcupinefish usually aren't very approachable with divers, but this individual was an exception. It mingled with all the divers in our group and allowed ample time for photographs.
When you come across a friendly dog, the owners are usually friendly too! In this case, both were enjoying a crisp winter's day. In our case, we took a break on the way home after having to drive an hour out of town to buy a roof rake to clear off some of the snow! The stores in our city were completely sold out.
This lovley Hawker let me get in realy close, I even had time to switch to a macro lens, see following images!
The last mushrooms (I think) collected this year, this time only honey fungus :)
Honey fungus (Armillaria mellea), is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. Armillaria mellea is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The fruit body or mushroom grows typically on hardwoods but may be found around and on other living and dead wood or in open areas. Armillaria mellea mushroom are considered good edibles, although some individuals have reported "allergic" reactions that result in stomach upsets. The mushrooms have a taste that has been described as slightly sweet and nutty, with a texture ranging from chewy to crunchy, depending on the method of preparation. Can also be pickled and roasted.

Ostatnie już (chyba) grzybki zebrane w tym roku, tym razem same opieńki :)
Opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny obrzękowcowatych. Występuje na wszystkich kontynentach z wyjątkiem Antarktydy i Ameryki Południowej. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolita, w Polsce również. Pojawia się najczęściej jesienią od września do listopada, ale czasami może pojawić się nawet na początku sierpnia. Zwykle występuje gromadnie, czasami bardzo licznie. Rośnie na drewnie (pnie, pniaki, gałęzie, korzenie) różnych gatunków drzew liściastych w lasach, ogrodach, parkach i sadach. Opieńka jest pasożytem atakującym zarówno martwe, jak i żywe drzewa. Wywołuje u zaatakowanych drzew chorobę o nazwie opieńkowa zgnilizna korzeni prowadzącą do obumarcia drzewa i powodującą białą zgniliznę drewna. Opieńki są grzybami jadalnymi. Są smaczne, twarde, o łykowatym, mniej wykorzystywanym do konsumpcji trzonie. Do spożycia używa się najczęściej młodych kapeluszy. W stanie surowym lub niedogotowanym opieńka miodowa może być trująca. Dlatego też należy ją najpierw obgotować przez około 5 minut i odlać wywar, po czym dopiero poddaje się ją dalszej obróbce.
