These Black-capped Chickadees were very friendly to my granddaughter as we walked the trails in the Hendrie Valley behind the Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington, during a snowfall.
This picture was published in The Hamilton Spectator newspaper in the "Eye On The Area" section on their Classified page on February 3, 2016.
Auf über 1100 m Höhe sind die Falter offensichtlich etwas zutraulicher. Dieser mochte sich gar nicht mehr trennen.
War gar nicht so einfach, mit einer Hand zu fotografieren....
This little guy wanted in on all the action, he just wanted to play with us, it was the cutest thing. My son Reece loves all bugs and animals, for some reason they gravitate towards him! Unfortunately he is allergic to everything, so we can not have pets in our home. So when I see him enjoying little moments like this with little critters it just makes my heart smile because he is just so happy!

"The Friendly Giant is a popular Canadian children's television program that aired on CBC Television from September 1958 through to March 1985. It featured three main characters: a giant named Friendly (played by Bob Homme), who lived in a huge castle, along with his puppet animal friends Rusty (a rooster who played a harp and lived in a book bag hung by the castle window) and Jerome (a giraffe). The two principal puppets were manipulated and voiced by Rod Coneybeare." - Wikipedia

While cleaning my boots in the garden, I went in search of a stiff brush. When I returned I found this cute fella perched on my boot. When I got closer, he reminded me the bird food needed toppping up.
This Northern Mockingbird must be well used to people since it let me get up close and personal ! Seen in the Desert Garden at the Huntington Library. Love that eye ! Hit "L" for an even closer look !!!!
We've only gone and adopted a dog!! This is Harbie - we collected him today from kennels just north of London. He is around 2 years old and has just been brought over from Bosnia. Here is the write up - you'll see why he appealed.
About Harbie
Harbie was found on the streets as a stray and taken by the local dog catchers to a public shelter, where he was later rescued by our partners in Bosnia. He is now residing in a private shelter with volunteers that we know and trust, whilst he waits for his forever family to find him.
Harbie is a beautiful dog with a nature to match. Although we don’t know anything about his background, he is trusting, friendly and good tempered with people. He has a forgiving and loyal nature, and he enjoys being in the company of humans despite whatever trauma he may have suffered in his past. Harbie gets so excited when the volunteers come to meet the dogs and walk them at the weekends as he knows it’s an opportunity for him to be fussed over. He greets everyone with excited licks and a wagging tail, and he also enjoys the company of children. We would suggest he would do well in a home with children aged 5+.
Harbie is friendly with all the other dogs in his shelter and loves being able to play with them. He has no issues when it comes to interacting with anyone, and we’re yet to come across another dog who doesn’t like him. His gentle nature makes him a great mixer in the shelter and he socialises happily with both male and female dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have conducted a cat test, in which he was well behaved and gentle. He could live with confident cat, as long as the adopter is confident nurturing that relationship and aware that it might take time to work.
More photos from our first day coming soon!

I am a hippie, from 1969 untill now. Its never changed, I think, the real hippies, are a different human beeing, it has nothing to do with money, status, or drugs. Its just a state of mind, which could develop during the hippie times, when the world was changing, and we, the hippies, knew that we could change the attitude.
Then, the powergames began, the politicians became afraid, and the slaughterhouse started, and never stopped. I am accused of beeing unreal: hippies never judge, they are always right...:-)
He was hoping anyways! Just a little friend we made the other day, sure was friendly and tame. And hopeful. : )
Size comparison of the new, wider Kübelwagen, and the Willys Jeep. That one got a swing axle at the front last year, so that I can place it anywhere when going outdoors. Unfortunately that makes the car so flimsy, that I regularly have to rebuild the front.
This is at the beach...^W in the desert at Hasselfelde.

Bicycle friendly
Bicycles are more common than cars in downtown Copenhagen, a stark contrast to most [all?] Canadian cities. Postal deliveries and couriers (DHL and Amazon) are all made by bicycle (in central Copenhagen). During the morning and evening commuting hours we observed bicycle traffic jams at major intersections. We were also surprised at the speed and apparent nonchalance of the cyclists, the majority of whom sped by us in the rain, on cobblestone, and without helmets. Woe be the tourist who steps out into the bike lane without looking!

“Copenhagen has earned a reputation as one of the most—possibly the most—bicycle-friendly city in the world. Every day 1.2 million kilometres (0.75 million miles) are cycled in Copenhagen, with 62% of all citizens commuting to work, school or university by bicycle; in fact, almost as many people commute by bicycle in greater Copenhagen as do those who cycle to work in the entire United States. Cycling is generally perceived as a healthier, more environmentally friendly, cheaper, and often quicker way to get around town than by public transport or car.”
