Not mine, I'm afraid, but adorable just the same. Ziggy likes eating carrots, running around like an idiot and chewing furniture. HSS everybody!
Widespread and abundant in cities, neighborhoods and farms. Avoids dense woods. Flocks cluster in dense bushes, bustling around and chattering to one another. Males have smart black bibs, bright rufous napes, and stunningly patterned wings with brilliant buffs and browns. Underparts are pale pearly-gray. Females are plain brown with cute face and lighter eyebrow. Native to Eurasia; introduced to much of the rest of the world. (eBird)

Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..
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.
Alfie Smith is a singer, prolific songwriter, an accomplished performer and talented multi-instrumentalist. He was on the stage at least at 4 performances at the recent 'Winterfolk Festival' in Toronto. He is more into folk and blues, so since I prefer jazz, I do not get to see him often.
'Winterfolk Festival' featured some 80 shows on one weekend and for $30 all inclusive pass you get introduced to some interesting music. OK, food and drink is not included. He performed with a living legend of Canada's folk scene David Essig and Kevin Breit, one of the most versatile jazz and blues guitarist in the city.

Don’t miss it!
I want to introduce You Veronica. I met her in Gerstruben in the Allgäu Alps. As a model, she acted very professionell and cooperative. I found that name on one of her earmarks written by hand. The fact, that someone gives names to his livestock is telling a lot how he is treating them and a lot about the agriculture in this region. It was really keen, to see that.
Ich möchte Euch einmal Veronika vorstellen. Ich habe sie in der Nähe von Gerstruben im Allgäu kennen gelernt. Als Modell verhielt sie sich überaus professionell und kooperativ. Der Name stand handschriftlich auf einem der Anhänger im Ohr. Die Tatsache, dass jemand seinen Nutztieren einen Namen gibt sagt viel über die Art aus, wie er mit Ihnen umgeht und über die Landwirtschaft im Allgemeinen in dieser Region. Das zu sehen hat mich wirklich begeistert.
Meet my stalker, Spike the Wood Pigeon. Unable to find a mate and rejected by his parents, Spike has taken a liking to me. He comes and sit next to me when I'm taking photo's in the garden. He waits at my backdoor each morning until I feed him, he won't let me stroke him but I have to be careful when I'm walking because he gets under my feet. I have to sit with him when he feeds, if I leave him he flies off leaving his food and won't come back until I return. He has a distinctive white spike on his white on his left side, hence the name.

Introducing another of my wild friends, Pancake, the dunnock.
Pancake is one of an enthusiastic and animated troup of dunnocks among the larger flock of different species that hang around our garden. I can't tell the dunnocks apart, except for Charlie (uploaded previously: www.flickr.com/photos/pogspix/52476354419) and Pancake, who both take food from my hand.
Pancake is recognizabe because of her beautiful markings ... and her habit of being right at, and nearly under, my feet in her quest to be at the front of the queue for food---I have to be extremely careful as I walk around the driveway, to ensure she doesn't live up to her name!
Here she is, waiting a bit more patiently, on a snow-glazed log a few weeks ago.

Sadly our sweet Paddy has passed away at 14 years old <3
We miss him greatly... until we meet again. <3
Our little Peppa now has a new sister Rosey to play with :)
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 ;)
Happy to introduce you Umi! I'm having so much fun lately with korean eyes so I did another very cutesy skin, hope everyone likes her the way I do! (♡´❍`♡)*✧ ✰ ｡*
She has 7 tones options, with brows/browless versions and BOM only.
HD ears & shape included.
Introducing Lucy. She is my son's pet and has just moved into the living room while we fix Erics floors. The poor creature has managed 7 years but now it's time for her to put up with my camera. She doesn't mind at all. The most cheerful little soul she is!
Kerria japonica, also known as the Japanese marigold bush or miracle marigold bush in the northern New England area and as yamabuki (山吹) in Japan, is a deciduous shrub in the rose family Rosaceae, native to China, Japan and Korea. It is named after William Kerr, who introduced the cultivar 'Pleniflora'. It is the sole species in the genus Kerria; its genus name is also used as a common name (kerria).
Our new puppy -an apricot standard poodle boy!
How hard is it do you think to get four people to agree on a name? The front runner at the moment is Harpo. He will have the same golden curls as the famous Harpo Marx.
George the cocky was quite interested in the pup and behaved reasonably well but as soon as the pup starts crying, George, not be outdone, does his monkey impersonation much louder, drowning out the howls of the pup. Then George throws in a bark or two. It’s all “look at me, Look at me.” Alfie the budgie looks on and wonders what all the fuss is about.
We have an interesting time ahead to try to socialise the puppy in the crucial next few weeks when it is the very thing we are unable to do. We have bought an App that plays all sorts of noises to expose him too and we have been encouraged to dressup and wigs, glasses and hats so he is exposed to different looks. We will take him in the car to look out the window and do what we can to help him understand the world is more than just our home and the four people in it.
Is it too soon to say I am in love?

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.

These are what appears to be two siblings huddling together. Such gorgeous looking little characters. Little Owls were introduced to New Zealand from Germany between 1906 and 1910, with the intention that they would help control the numbers of small introduced birds, which were becoming a pest in grain and fruit crops. With the exception of one pair released in Rotorua, all were liberated in the South Island. Little owls bob up and down if startled and have an undulating flight pattern.
We live close to the forest.
My favorite forest.
I introduce some photos taken in the last month.
Many of the trees already shed its leaves on the ground and the beautiful colors were loosing.
The forest were preparing for the winter.
And the forest in this season has the attractive touch.
我が家の近くに森があります。
わたしのお気に入りの森です。
先月歩いた際に撮影した写真を紹介します。
木々は既に多くの葉を落とし、美しい色は失われつつありました。
冬への準備をしているのですね。
この時期の森も趣きがあるものです。
Today it is three years ago that we lost sweet cat Lolita, and about 9 months ago that Grandma Leyla passed away. Last Weekend we decided that we don't want to be without cats any more.
So I may introduce you one of our new feline friends: This is Kuddel alias Hercules, and he moved to our home last sunday with his girlfriend Florentina to help us to overcome our grieving about my sweet little Tigerlily-Gang. No picture of Florentina, she is still too shy at the moment to be photographed. But this Prince Charming breaks every heart in minutes, and he'll help her to trust us too! The photo is not made by myself, the large cameras may be a bit too much for the first days. So Tom took it with his smartphone and gave it to me to upload it here.
Please respect Toms copyright. No use of the photo without his expressly permission.
And: I don't like Comment-Codes, "awards", or such groups. They will be deleted. Explanation at my profile. Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. Your own words will mean much more to me than a universal-text. ;-D

This is 'Good Samaritan', a fragrant pink hybrid tea-rose.
'Good Samaritan' was first introduced in the USA, in 2005, as ‘Voluptuous’. It was bred by Dr. Keith Zary, a result of hybridizing two famous roses ‘Tournament of Roses’ and ‘Trumpeter’.
In 2008 this rose was released in Australia as ‘Good Samaritan’ to honour the Sisters of the Good Samaritan of the Order of St. Benedict’s 150th Anniversary (1857 – 2007).

This is Bruno, he is a 12 year old golden retriever and has come to live with us. We adopted Bruno from the same place we adopted Chester, Oldies Club. We don't know how long he will have with us but he will be loved and cherished for as long as he is. We brought him home today and so far he seems to have settled very well. Podge is rather cross about it but I hope he will come round as soon as he realises Bruno has no interest him.
