I love the small-clawed otters at the zoo at Karlsruhe. They are always active and one of those animals which don't make me feel bad as they don't seem to suffer too much in captivity as long as they live in a group and have an enclosure which is big enough and offers them a possibility to swim. When I arrived at their enclosure it was 30 minutes to feeding time and they were already eagerly awaiting the arrival of the keeper.
The fourth and last image in my "eye" series. Not quite pleased with this one but it's time to move on to another project :)
The flying insect was dicing with death, me thinks! We saw several Bateleurs in Kruger this year but this was an injured bird in captivity.

I'm not gonna lie - took me about 300 shots to get one of these guys to hold still, they were SO busy munching on watercress in the pond below.
About the Scaly-breasted Munia, from Audubon: "Native to southern Asia, this small waxbill is a popular cagebird. Escapees from captivity have established wild populations in several parts of the world. The species is now widespread and common in coastal California, from San Jose to San Diego..." This one and the rest of its flock is at the Los Angeles County Arboretum.
His tired gaze -from passing endless bars- has turned into a vacant stare which nothing holds. To him there seem to be a thousand bars, and out beyond these bars exists no world.
His supple gait, the smoothness of strong strides that gently turn in ever smaller circles perform a dance of strength, centered deep within a will, stunned, but untamed, indomitable.
But sometimes the curtains of his eyelids part, the pupils of his eyes dilate as images of past encounters enter while through his limbs a tension strains in silence only to cease to be, to die within his heart.

This sweet baby jaguar cub was born to parents that had been rescued after having been hurt. The Awesome man that cared and nursed the parents back to health was amazed when he realized that they were going to be parents. This is the little cub that was born in captivity !! Amazing to see and oh oh so beautiful !! We had just returned from the Pantanal, Brazil where we saw many jaguars in the wild and to see this young cub was a special very special moment. Love at first sight !! Costa Rica is rich with so many different adventures !!!!!!!
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day !!

This is an image of a Rosy-faced Lovebird...a near endemic species.
I'd seen them a bunch of times in captivity. This time I had the privilege of watching them in the wild.
It was fantastic seeing them flying around and perching themselves on the trees branches. It was surprising as their colours were more saturated and brighter than what I was used to.

Croc Henry (4m, 750kg) was born around 1900 and the local tribe in Botswana asked hunter Sir Henty to kill the croc because of its practice of devouring their children, but after that the tribe consulted the deceased elders and were instructed by them to punish the croc by keeping it alive. And so happened, Sir Henry kept the croc in captivity and in 1985 Sir Henry's grandchildren donated the croc to Crocworld in Scottburgh where he still lives with 10 wives..

This photo presents a sad picture. There are birds in the cage at the Mumbai Zoo and there are free birds that come and visit them and sit on a tree next to the cage. may be due to curosity or just to share the pain of caged birds.
this building in the makati cbd in the philippines had a very clear reflection of the opposite street where another building was being built.
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

The photo is about a ice cream seller who is pushing his vehicle. And there are some vans kept captive with their wheels on the footpath beside the street.

I just loved this monkey...aka the CORONA FUNKY MONKEY! He seemed like a very happy monkey but for some reason, this photo makes me feel sad. :(
Mais umas para 'acelerar' a entrada em férias e dada a inexistência de fotos recentes (tirada nas férias de há quase dois anos: quem disse que o '13' dá azar?.. ;-)
A couple more taken on vacations two years ago as I still not having recent ones. Who said '13' is a bad luck number?.. ;-)

Thursday, 10 December 2020: our temperature just after noon is -4C (windchill -4C). Sunrise is at 8:29 am and sunset is at 4:29 pm. 'Winter' returned the night before last, after a number of beautifully mild days, bringing more snow and colder temperatures.
Seeing that our world was about to turn white again, I decided to make the most of the beautiful, mild weather on 7 December 2020. My plan was to drive SE of the city and call in at the Saskatoon Farm for a late breakfast. There are always photo opportunities to be found here, together with a warm welcome and smiling faces. One of my absolute favourite places to be.
This interesting place is maybe a 20-minute drive SE from the southern edge of Calgary. You can collect your own Saskatoon berries in season, look around their outside green houses, and their inside gift shop full of unusual things, and buy special baking, jams, teas, soups, pies, and so on. They also have a restaurant that offers great food.
Another reason for spending time away from home for a few hours was to keep me off my computer. A return to an extremely painful right shoulder, due to inflammation of the rotator cuff, is made even more painful when I type and keep clicking the mouse. This affects my whole arm, making it almost impossible to do everything, including things like putting on my winter layers. Oh well, I guess it balances out with my very painful left knee : ) For a few hours yesterday, I was reminded harshly that driving does not help things either. Still, so thankful that I am at least able to get out and take photos!
From the Farm, I drove a few familiar roads to see if there was a Snowy Owl anywhere to be seen. The answer to that was - no.
“So I'd been captured? So I was starving?
Did that mean I had to shrivel up and die?
I could still slither. I could still hiss". - Patrick Jennings
Deep down , we are all captives of our minds , of things that surrounds us , of people around us . All these makes us who we are , some can break free and some can't . But even in all these captivity , one can still imagine . One can still dream . Reality is an illusion , and this illusion makes life beautiful . We might see ourselves to be free but something will always captivate us . Something will always help us imagine , help us dream . It is hard to comprehend sometimes !
I don't know if my words made sense to you , call me crazy ! because to me they do :)
