I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Der Teichrohrsänger hatte Futter im Schnabel und hat trotzdem gesungen.
So konnte ich ihn überhaupt erst finden.
The reed warbler had food in its beak and still sang.
That's how I was able to find him in the first place.
always try to be a little kinder than is necessary? :-)

A cat in greenery is a harmonious combination ... however, cats are always and everywhere harmonious :)
The ancient Egyptians had a special relationship with cats: they were revered as sacred animals; mummified like humans; depicted in sculpture and frescoes. And the very first cat "portrait" was written by the Egyptians.
For a long time it was believed that the Egyptians tamed cats. However, in 2004, a burial site dating back to 9500 BC was discovered in Cyprus. e., in which a cat was found together with a man. A wild beast would hardly have been put in a grave. It turned out that cats lived with people long before they appeared in Egypt. The Middle East began to be considered the birthplace of domestic cats, and Egypt was forgotten for some time. But not for long: in 2008, a burial was opened in southern Egypt, in which six cats were found - a male, a female and four kittens. Although this burial was younger than the Cypriot one (about 6000 years), it became clear that cats were known in Egypt much earlier than was thought until recently.
It is known that the ancestor of the domestic cat was the steppe cat Felis silvestris lybica - it still lives in the steppe, desert and partly mountainous regions of Africa, Western, Central and Central Asia, in Northern India, Transcaucasia and Kazakhstan. In 2007, it was possible to establish that all modern cats descended from him.
Seafarers brought the first cats to Rus' in the pre-Christian era. Exotic animals were a valuable commodity: the cost of a cat until the 15th century was comparable to the value of a healthy arable animal - an ox.
A small beautiful finch always seen in groups in the countryside. They are named after the three prominent colors on their bodies. These Munias were busy foraging and collecting nesting materials from the ground.
They are resident birds, usually found throughout the year. Their breeding seasons starts around June / July till Sep end. So come summer end, they are quite visible due to the need to build nests and frequently collect food. As the winter begins, their numbers grow by hundreds. Most photographers I know love shooting these birds - along with the Strawberry finches and they both are found in the same habitats.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

Daisy, don't you know that you're amazing?
A year has passed since the departure of a great person and friend, she always took a moment to dedicate nice words to you... the truth is that with few words you come to appreciate great people and how unfair life is for leave us without her so soon.
Wherever you are, my dear friend, keep shining with your light, that same light that you had for all of us.
The first year we went to Etosha we spent a month there becoming familiar with it's incredible beauty. In that month we only saw the lilac breasted roller twice . It was difficult to find and there just were not many but over the past eight years we have seen them numerous times and this year they were in abundance. I love them and found it very hard to pass one by . As a result of this I have several images this year. Each is a little different . The first year we never saw clouds but this year there were clouds every day. You can seen them in this image of the roller.
Wishing you a lovely and blessed evening. Many thanks to you all for your great support and encouraging comments !!

Old houses always have vibes. This one was particularly interesting. It is maintained beautifully, but has some rather strange vibes coming off of it is in an area that could be very busy. It brings nothing to the area because it’s been closed for quite some time.. i’ve always thought when I see really interesting properties if walls could talk, what would they say? This house didn’t seem to be able to share. No one seems to know the story of the closures of every business that has tried to survive in this historic building. The only comments I obtained from a couple of locals is that the place is haunted and very creepy.. one lady shared a worker has been coming and going doing some restoration and his constant companion, a small, mixed breed dog stops, staring at the door, and refuses to go in even though her owner is in there. That is a curious thing. As the little dog is quite adventurous per the lady, and always accompanies him on all jobs . hmmm
We are always looking to the future, the present does not satisfy us. Our ideal, whatever it may be, lies further on.

an adult member of a pack of African Wild Dogs in Kruger National Park, South Africa
African Wild dogs are able to cover a significant distance when hunting but they frequently stop to look and listen and to re-group.
When they have spotted prey the pack turns in an instant into a well oiled killing machine.
also called Painted Hunting Dogs

Magic
it is within us
vague yet vivid
soundless yet deafening
boundless yet finite
this could be nothing
if you see it
as a perception of your mind
this could be everything
if you believe in it
beyond your limitation....
