Another frame from Parco Talenti, where egrets and parakeets live peacefully just a few steps from the city. What continues to fascinate me is how natural and relaxed their presence feels in a park surrounded by residential buildings.
In this moment, the two egrets almost seem to be playing—one already on the ground, wings slightly open, the other suspended mid-air as if challenging it: who can jump higher? Or perhaps it was simply a brief chase, a quick repositioning in their quiet daily routine. Either way, the scene felt unexpectedly lighthearted.
I was drawn to the contrast between motion and stillness: the lifted wings, the stretched legs, the soft winter light over the grass. There’s no tension here, only energy and balance. It’s a reminder that even in an urban setting, nature doesn’t just survive—it interacts, explores, and occasionally seems to enjoy itself.

Un altro scatto al Parco Talenti, dove aironi e pappagalli vivono serenamente a due passi dalla città. Ciò che continua a colpirmi è quanto la loro presenza appaia naturale, perfettamente integrata in un parco circondato da palazzi e strade.
In questa scena i due aironi sembrano quasi giocare: uno già a terra con le ali appena aperte, l’altro sospeso in aria come se lo stesse sfidando a chi salta più in alto. Forse era solo un breve inseguimento o un cambio di posizione, ma l’impressione è quella di un momento leggero, quasi ludico.
Mi ha attratto il contrasto tra movimento e quiete: le ali tese, le zampe allungate, la luce morbida sull’erba invernale. Non c’è tensione, solo energia e armonia. È la dimostrazione che, anche in un contesto urbano, la natura non si limita ad adattarsi: vive, interagisce e, talvolta, sembra perfino divertirsi.

Poppy carries such a large bell as its a warning signal to the birds, she's caught them nearly as big as her in the past
Living with cats means that you get used to stepping over toys scattered around your home. Happy Caturday!
Daisy wasn't impressed to find her water bowl replaced by a mug, even though it's the same colour. Happy Caturday!
A cat at the desk is great for the mood these days.

Le petit homme tenait à son arbre
Il ne l’avait pas choisi au hasard
C’était le plus beau de tous
Lui aussi d’ailleurs, il faisait envie
Et semblait dire d’un air ravi
La vie est bien faite, cela me sied
L’arbre quant à lui un peu hagard
N’avait pas envie de se faire scier
T’en fait pas mon beau sapin
Lui dit le petit homme hilare
Levant ses deux bras vers le ciel
Bien mal lui en prit car aussitôt
Il se retrouva sur son séant
Dans un grand éclat de rire
C’est que le petit homme
Avait encore un peu de mal
Avec la station debout
Pensez donc, il n’avait pas un an !!!
Today is Milo's second birthday. He has added so much to our family. He also also enjoyed entertaining all of his Flickr friends.

Buddy at about 3 months going on 4. He likes the fireplace - in fact, one of his first kitten moves was to push his way through the closed screen and get stuck behind it. Since he was also chilling in the wood bin, I just put a kitty bed there for a little more comfort. He's doubled his weight, btw, to 2 lbs.
Based on current Flickr friends activity feed problems (mine at least), who knows if more than a handful of folks will see this cat follow-on to the cheetah I posted yesterday. I have logged a trouble ticket.
Paul was the love of our lives for 10 years. He crossed the "rainbow bridge" in late September of 2024. Not a single day passes that I don't think of him.
This photo was not staged. It was not unusual for him to take a toy and lie down to snooze with it by his side.
My wife and I both agree that the love we feel (I won't say felt because we still feel it) for Paul is equal to if not greater than what we feel for our loved ones. Paul was, after all, family. It truly was an unconditional love. Maybe only dog lovers will understand.
Paul took many road trips with us, including to the San Juan mountains of CO, the woods of TN, the big city Dallas and several day trips to discover Kansas.
Part Schnauzer and Jack Russell he was a shelter dog we "rescued." He was, for me, a "spirit" dog. Still today just looking at his pictures makes me tear-up.
