The Damrak houses first introduced me to the Dutch word gezellig (meaning cozy or homely) I was always wandering in from the train station after dark and I would constantly stop and stare at these houses thinking it felt like an incandescent oasis in a city of fluorescents, warming the night and the Damrak with its soft glow.
When you walk by during the day usually things are shut tight against the throngs of tourists walking back and forth from the central station but at night when the crowds have dissipated the curtains open and the world seems to be welcome to become a witness to the nocturnal activities of the residents.
The Damrak historically was originally part of the Amstel river below the Dam that gave Amsterdam its name, Rak means a straight stretch or place to gain speed, so the Damrak was actually the straight piece of river below the Dam across the Amstel where sailors would pick up some speed on their home stretch to the port of Amsterdam.

This sweet girl is one of six baby red squirrels frolicking all over the front yard for the past few weeks. There will be more but this group is the first. Three out of the six have distinct white streaks and this girl is pure blonde with just hints of red. I have never seen one like her before in my life. I am wondering if the light grey male squirrel that has settled here since winter is the dad. I've been spending time with them all and they have become quite friendly. We shall see who stays and who goes once they get older.
Our new family member. She is very, very young and lost her mom and siblings in a tragic manner. She was being raised by a Chihuahua.
I named her Akasha as she is as fast as ether and knowledgeable as the sky.

California quail were first introduced to NZ in 1862 in South Auckland. They spread in most parts of NZ despite a low survival rate in chicks. This year I had a family move into my garden, but unfortunately several of the chicks appear to have not survived. The family now consists of only one remaining chick. They forge in my courtyard and the papa always stands guard on the fence and warns them of any danger. They have become familiar with my presence, that I will bring them no harm.

*introducing the Boo!* xD
This is Chris, he's my boyfriend, and since May 2021 my hubbie, I love him super much! =^_^=
We know each other from such a long time, and some years later we got more stable, I'm so lucky to have him!
A lot of the things that make me who I am are because of how we've evolved as couple ♥.
I never do posts like these here, just silent random pics n selfies when I feel like it...but this is so important to me - and also it was like RIDICULOUS that in all this time we never did a 'proper', edited pic couple pic.
I hope we can find the time for more and this isn't just an exception, it's so cute to show a bit of how we are together!
Also, yes, I call him 'Boo' 'cause we're kind of super silly :D
This is all for now,
thankies for supporting my tiny blog ♥
kissy!

Island Of Madagascar

Berenty Reserve
The radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) is a species in the family Testudinidae. Although this species is native to and most abundant in southern Madagascar, it can also be found in the rest of this island and has been introduced to the islands of Réunion and Mauritius.
It is a very long-lived species, with recorded lifespans of at least 188 years. These tortoises are classified as critically endangered by the IUCN, mainly because of the destruction of their habitat and because of poaching. – Wikipedia
The Pyrenean Mountain Dog, known as the Great Pyrenees in North America, is a large breed of dog used as a livestock guardian dog. They have a lifespan of 10-11 years "Merlin" was taking a rest on the pavement in the centre of Beverley in East Yorkshire,
I will introduce You the city of Grasse in Southfrance during the next days. Since the 16th century that city is wellknown for the producing of perfumes. There are still some quite important perfumefactories located here. It became famous because of the novel (and the screen adaption) "The perfume" by Patrick Süßkind. I recommend to read this very good book before comming here the first time. It will give you a much closer access to what You find here and You can see more than just the tourist attraction.
In den nächsten Tagen möchte ich hier die Stadt Grasse in Südfrankreich vorstellen. Bereits seit dem 16. Jahrhundert ist die Stadt ein bekannter Ort der Parfümherstellung. Es befinden sich noch immer einige sehr bekannte Parfümhersteller hier. Berühmt wurde Sie durch den Roman (und die Verfilmung) "Das Parfüm" von Patrick Süßkind. Ich empfehle jedem, der zum ersten mal hierher kommt vorher dieses sehr gute Buch zu lesen. Das verschafft einen viel intensiveren Zugang zu dem, was man hier vorfindet und man sieht mehr als nur die Touristenattraktion.
Couple weeks ago we had to send off to doggie heaven our 13 year old schnauzer that had a stroke.
After a long search, Moose has joined the Krach household to bring some new joy ... and to keep our 10 year old schnoodle busy. Moose is a puppy schnauzer with lots of spunk ... and kisses too.
Captured here when we took Moose down to visit with my Dad on this lovely Autumn day in Maryland where Moose got to play with our dog, and my sister's dogs as well. While being tiny ... he played very well with them. Wore them all out quickly actually.
He seems to not be camera shy as well ... which is nice for me ;)

In 1957, Ford introduced the Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. of an automobile platform based coupé utility. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. The original El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year. The El Camino was introduced for the 1959 model year two years after the Ford Ranchero. According to Chevrolet stylist Chuck Jordan, GM's Harley Earl had suggested a coupé pickup in 1952.
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet in 1959 and 1960, and from 1964 to 1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.
The 1982 (through the final 1987) El Camino sported a new frontal appearance with a crosshatch grille flanked by quad rectangular headlights. New under the hood for 1982 was a 105 hp (78 kW) 5.7-liter (350-cubic-inch) Diesel V8, which was also offered in Chevrolet's full-size cars. Though mileage with the diesel was commendable, it was an expensive option and would eventually amass a dismal repair record. Gasoline-engine choices were unchanged, except Chevrolet's 229-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) V6 was now standard in California-bound cars, replacing Buick's 231-cubic-inch V6.
In 1983, the 4.4-liter V8 was gone, leaving the 5.0-liter version as the only optional gas V8. The standard engine was again Chevrolet's 3.8-liter V6 with 110 hp (82 kW), though California cars, once again, got a Buick V6 with similar specifications. Continuing on the options list was the 5.7-liter V8 Diesel with 105 hp (78 kW). The sister Malibu sedan and wagon were discontinued after the 1983 model year.
For 1985, GM shifted El Camino production to Mexico, and the new fuel-injected 4.3 L V6 became the base engine through 1987. El Camino production ended quietly in late 1987.
I don't know the exact year of the one in the photos, but it's part of the final series produced from 1982 - 1987. I think it happens to be the nicest looking versions of the entire series made.

I encountered this Cheetah family on the Mopani road not far from the Phalaborwa gate. I spent at least 20 minutes alone with them before the next homo sapiens arrived and had enough time to bond with the kids. The mother was a bit uninvolved and constantly looked the other way. She is the one in the background. I was selfish and parked my vehicle far away from the Cheetahs in such a way so that nobody could pass me and approach the animals to take photos with a mobile phone or the like and in the process chase them away. I really had a royal time. Haven't seen Cheetahs in three years.
Common in varied wooded and forested habitats, parks, gardens, farmland with hedges and scattered trees. Forms flocks in winter; often visits garden feeders. Handsome, brightly colored male is distinctive, with bluish cowl, pink face and breast, black-and-white wing pattern (colors muted in winter). Female much drabber but shares male pattern; especially note the complex wing pattern. Both sexes have white outer tail feathers, often striking in flight such as when flushed. (eBird)

We encountered chaffinchs (another introduced species) over much of the country, but did not stop to photograph them too often since our focus was on native birds. This female, though, was in a parking area so I took advantage of the opportunity.

(Thank you, Andie, for introducing me to this haunting song 💕)
I swore the days were over
Of courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Was losing all its shape
And in my head you looked so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
I was never scared of nothin
Thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
So I carried it alone
I'm findin all this well-worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
every time you take a step.
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
I swore the days were over
of courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar
of losing everything
But you had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodgin' them instead.
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
It’s time to officially introduce the newest member of the family to Flickr. 🐾
This is Eevee, our tabby kitten, born June 12, 2026.
She is playful, curious, and full of personality, with the biggest ears, bright eyes, and the sweetest little face. She has already brought so much joy and I have a feeling she is going to appear in many more photos to come.
Welcome to Flickr, Eevee.

Normally quail quickly hide when a human being gets too close to them. However, in Zealandia Ecosanctuary they're used to people. This juvenile walked towards me and straight past me.
California quail are native to western USA from Oregon to the Baja Peninsula. They have been introduced to most continents as game birds. The first release in New Zealand was at Papakura in 1862 with later releases in Nelson, Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.
I'm not too sure of this goat's real name and at first I was going to bin this image as the colour version taken in bright sun was not great. I liked the image because of the piece of grass in Baaabra's mouth so converted it to a high key black and white which I think worked OK.

As it happens all the babies are making their debuts out of the pouches as this is Henrietta's latest.
I thought Cheeky Charlotte was tiny, but Rosebud (because she has the pinkest nose)really does have to be the tiniest one I have ever seen.
Actually I think Henrietta may be coming to the end of her breeding life because since Nervous Nellie the babies have been getting smaller.
I have just fallen in love with this teeny tiny baby

I introduce some photos of the mountain stream which already lost the leaves and the colors.
Rairaikyo is one of my favorite mountain streams in Akiu.
When I visited there in December 2017 , I saw the disolate sceneries.
At the same time I felt something poetic.
We must find the impressive beauty in such sceneries.

These introduced birds are easily found on the big island of Hawaii. In their native Ethiopia they are much harder to find...

Yesterday I adopted this pretty girl from a local shelter. She was found as a stray in Modesto, California, back in August. At one point, there was already a date set to euthanize her. She's been through a rough few months.
She is about 5 years old and clearly has some Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler) in her.
The whole adoption process was very stressful for me as well, so difficult to make such a monumental choice in an extremely chaotic and distracting environment, but as soon as Tidda walked in, I began to relax. We just fit!
She has been quite traumatized by her ordeal and was even medicated with trazodone (sedating antidepressant) in California, but in the 24 hours I've had her, she has already begun her new life well and actually is sleeping a lot. It seems like she recognizes a dog-shaped emptiness beside me and naturally steps into that space.
I named her Tidda, which is an indigenous Australian word for sister or female friend. As all creatures are our brothers and sisters, she will be my sister. And she is also Blanca's sister in spirit.
Two more pictures in comments.
