It’s so amazing how such creatures are so smart, and they can know and feel whether that thing in front of them going to attack them or not, even the so tiny ones of them. Beside photographing, watching animals and bugs behaviors and attitudes to some certain events... is my favorite hobby... that sometimes it forces me to leave my camera away, and just enjoying watching them, and feeling the grace of God.
That spider, I know it looks scary, so small and tiny, about 1 cm or more, when I got close to him, he jumped so fast to the other side on his almost invisible web string, he made it between two flowers, I insisted to take a photo for him, so I turned to the other side, for the surprise... he did exactly the opposite and instead of running away... he took the position of attack and self-defense !!! .... he raised his head and the two front legs towards me, so I said: “No Mr. Spider, I don’t want to hurt you, I just want to take a shot for your majesty and put it on a website called Flickr, so you can get famous there !!!”..... and he gave me this pos.... after I’ve done, I had to thank him: “Ok, thank you Mr. Spider, now I will leave you alone !!!”.... :))
What I say, never underestimate the cleverness of other creatures, because they are so smart !! :)
Soon I will tell you about my genius crazy fishy.... what ? you don’t believe me ??? ... ok, you will see !!! :D
Have a great Sunday all !!!

This is Fiore !!! :))
Hello Fiore... Say Ciao to Flickr friends !!! :))
Most of the time, people think I'm crazy… sometimes they think I'm weird !!!
In fact, I'm really weird in the street or outdoors !!... few days ago, I went with Ma for shopping… I hate shopping !!!... yeah yeah, can you imagine there is a girl in the world hates shopping ?? … yes, ME !!! x(
Anyway, from far away I saw cute flowers... so I said:
"Ma… I want a flower !!"
Ma: "where is the flower ????"
Me: "That flower !!!" :D
Ma: "o_O"
hehehe… and I got this cute flower, look at this smile, isn't she cute ???? :D
It was big to be put in a plastic bag, so Ma said:
"Now where are you going to put it ???"
Me: "Nowhere, I'll hang it on my bag !!!"
Ma: "What ???... we're going for shopping for hours, and many places, and you will keep it out like this all the way ???"
Me: "Yeah !!!.. what's wrong ??" :D
Ma in these cases says nothing, she just keeps pace of my craziness and laugh at me, and that day people were looking at me like this o_O all the way, and I just was so happy with that !!! :))
Even when we went to a restaurant for a dinner, I let her sit on a special chair for her !!! :)) .... (now that’s really weird, I know !!! :D )
Sometimes I ask myself:
"Are we really 26 ???"
Me : "Really ??? ... I didn’t know that !!!! .... Myself, are we 26 ???”
Myself : “hmmm, let me think... Yeah, I think we are !!!"
I : "….hmmm… ok, stop this nonsense, lets go buy something !!!!" :D
And most of the time these things are toys, mugs (I'm crazy about mugs !!), some wooded antiques and sculptured, candles…etc .... and chocolate of course !!!
When I became 25, I was so excited "WOW !!! I'm a Century-Quarter Age now !!!!" :))
When the Century-Quarter has gone, I looked at the number 26 and said:
"Hey !!!... what were you thinking about ???... look... number 26 is so pretty cool and cuter than 25, isn't it ??"
Me: "Yeah !!! … it is !!!... WOW !!!"
Myself: "… and I'm sure number 27 will be cuter than 26 next year !!!" :))
I reviewed the past years since the school, I found that I didn’t change at all, I was naughty at school, I was soooooo naughty and talkative at collage that my professors loved me for that !!...... and I’m still naughty at work !!!! :D
The only thing has changed, that I’m with more knowledge of life, my mind has grown up, my heart has grown up.... but my spirit has stopped growing at the age of 5 !!! :)
There is only one day in the year I feel my real age, that day is my birthday… then the next day… I forget how old I am again, for me it's just numbers and don't determine at all who you are :)
A perfect sky, a perfect color, the best part of the day, when the sun goes down and all these colors gather as making a celebration for the night, nothing left just the little music made by sleepy birds...
I see that all what I photograph in the day is a one part, and the sky at sunset with the twilight is another by itself, with all my favorite colors and tones, keep taking photos for all the moments of the sunset until the sun completely sleeps away behind the mountains, most wonderful experiments you will get at that time, the colors, the peace, the silence, feeling your soul flying to join the celebration, while freeing your mind from every thought, just immerging in the mesmerizing peace and silence up high in the unlimited sky...
Have a wonderful peaceful weekend :)
And Life is Beautiful ♥ ..... Magical at the sunset sky :)

”Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
~ Ashley Smith
Yesterday was so windy, then stormy, my fingers were freezing, and trees branches didn’t stop moving, so I couldn’t make a lot of photos, so I thought: why not use the wind for something useful ?...
So I collected some fallen blossoms from the ground, and waited for the next storm, and take tens of photos while the blossoms flew from my hand... repeating the trial many times until I got this... whatever the result was, but I liked it and liked the experience :)
... and of course coughing got worse !!!!! :))
Yes, life is beautiful for them, Koda and Max. Their code of life is play and always play. We took them to Cannon Beach, Oregon a couple of weeks back. They found a playmate there and ran around for a long time.
The white Husky is Koda and the one flying with only 2 legs on ground is Max.

All people have magnificent ambitions, huge capabilities, wonderful skills and intelligence, no one was born with non of them or at least interests, but for some reason they decided to underestimate their spirits and hearts, decided to let it down and broke their faith, sometimes by themselves, and sometimes by throwing the blame on others...
Wills, skills, thoughts, faith, positivism... all are their inside the hearts, but need someone to lighten them up and bring them out to life, give them some courage to take the step for at least thinking in another way, then you can see the real spirit within, alive again...
We can’t do anything without the help and support and encouragement of our great friends, sticking together hand by hand we can make the impossible...
Do you know someone in this stage ? ... go and give them some light :)
And Life is Beautiful ♥ ...... made by our spirits :)
Have a great Friday and next wonderful weekend !
p.s: anyone know the name of the flower ? and the bee, is it a bumblebee ? :)
Edit #1:
Thanks Eva and Patricia for the flower name, it’s Salvia Farinacea :)
Edit #2:
After hard work in searching, I found this bee so much like the Male Valley Carpenter Bee, they say the female is totally black, and I think I saw one like it in the same place too, so... am I right ? I don't know ! :)
anyway, enjoy a beezee weekend !! :))
”I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him (ooohh)
With the gentleness you feel inside(I feel it)
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be
All in time you'll see
ooohh
I love him(then show him)
Of that much I can be sure(hold him close to you)
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows (oh ooh oh oh)
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
ooh ooh ooh
Never let him go”
~ Tell Him - Celine Dion Deut with Barbara Streisand
Now that came out so romantic !!! :))
I found these porcelain stones in a market and thought at once with this idea, just remind me of Hansel and Gretel, I don’t like that story, but I liked the idea of making pieces from my heart through my way to my imaginary love... I repeat : Imaginary !!! :))
... and at last it ended up with these stones as decoration in the fish pool !!!!! :D
... and for girls.... go and tell them... you know whom I mean !!! ;) ♥

hmmmm.......... do you know what is my dark secret ????
my dark secret is ................. I don’t drive !!!!!! :D
not because I’m afraid or I don’t like it .... no no no ..... just because of my laziness to learn !!!! :D
ahem... ahem.... so ... well, I really love cars, and I’m interested to know information about every model specially the old ones from 70s and 60s and before, my brother made me to be interested in them, I got the infection from him !!! :))
hehehe... well, I’m trying to take some lessons now.... my cousin asked me yesterday “when are you going to learn driving ?” ... he is a good driving teacher... I answered “well... I’m waiting for you !” :)
obviously that I WAS kidding !!!!
but at the end of the day he called me to get in the car.... I looked at him o_O and said:
“WHY ???”
“come on... lets take the first lesson”
“WHAT ???.... but I don’t want now !!!!”
“get in !”
“NO”
“get in !”
“noooo...”
“NOW !!”
:’(
“ok, now press deeply on that....” (I forgot its name !!)
“which one ?”
“the last one ! -_- “
“ok...”
“look here....” (teaching me that thing with numbers..... I think it’s the Gear !!) “now slowly step on the gas and remove your other foot” ... (and it moved.... I think it did !!)
“then ?...”
“turn the steering a little right”
“now how do I stop ????”
“press on the brake”
“WHICH ONE ????”
“in the middle....”
“you didn’t tell me how to STOP !!!!”
“it stopped !!”
“it stopped ??? .......... oh, yes... it stopped ...... TURN IT OFF !!!!”
“WOW, that was pretty good as a start...”
“I moved only one meter !!! -_- “
“yeah, but it was good, so smoothly moved, I won’t have any problems in training you ! :D”
And he was laughing annoyingly !! ...... and what is more annoying..... his children were watching and laughing too !!!
Then Pa came and saved my life when he wanted his car back !!! :))
ahem.... so, that was my first one-minute lesson !!!
I’ll let you know when I take the license........... maybe next year !!! :D
Now honestly tell me.... how was your first driving lesson ?? .. hehehe :D
hmmmm... you must be wondering what’s the relation between the bee and the driving lesson ???? .... because he made me lose her when he called me to get in the car !!!!!! x(
so this is the best shot I could take for her :)
Have a great safe weekend !!!
And remember... Life is Beautiful ♥ ..... Drive Safe !!! :))

21 February, 2012.
One day my elder cousin was watching me holding a long stick and getting things out from the swimming pool, she asked me “what are you doing ???” ... I said “I’m saving the bees !” .... she asked “why ? ... they are bees, they can sting you after getting them out !!” .... I answered her “to be stung is better than watching them die !... I can’t see them dying helpless... beside that I love bees, and I’m sure they know that I’m saving them, they won’t hurt me...”
she didn’t say anything, just kept watching me and smiling...
I even saved a huge wasp from the water one day.... then I ran away fast before he woke up from the shock !! :))
same thing I do when I see ants working hard and crossing the road on my way, I jump over their line to not step over them and crash them...
the fact that we are the biggest bodies and smartest minds and the most powerful... should make us the most responsible to give mercy for the little and the weak ones, as for humans as for other creatures...
in another day she asked me “what is mercy, and what is love do you think ?” ... I said “I see that mercy is the most top level ever of love, when you have love and care for everyone and everything, this is the mercy...”
it is to save a bug from sinking in the water...
to watch your steps to not crash what you can’t see under them...
to tie a broken branch... it might grow again after all...
to put a fallen bird back in his nest...
to wipe a tear on a homeless child...
to give him a toy to play with...
to listen to a lonely old man in the road... just wants to talk to someone...
to help an old lady to cross the street...
to give a shoulder for a friend ..... or even a stranger .... to cry on...
to make a relief for a tired heart...
to forget ourselves for a moment and think of others...
to take the responsibility of taking care of everything lives on Earth...
to help... to care... to listen... to think... to do...
not saying “I don’t have time now, someone else will do it...”
there won’t be someone else... do it by yourself at once...
I said to her “what I see is... from Mercy comes the Love... it is the unlimited Love...”
And we all have it in our hearts, just need to let it out and show it to the world, and the world would be much better.... for that you will never really know when You will be in needing it...
Life is Beautiful ♥ ..... Give Mercy... to be given it :)
