She is a Lagotto Romagnolo dog.
This is the only breed of dog that is officially recognized as specialized in truffle hunting.
This photo could symbolize many things. Suppression of little people; Dictatorship; Deep State; Big Brother; oppression against women. In fact, it represents the opposite. Jan Žižka led an army of peasants, little people against the powerful Roman Empire and they were victorious due his clever military tactics for many years (1419-1434) even after his death in 1424. Equipped with simple modified farming tools, his small army demonstrated the Power of People. The monumental bronze statue was sculpted by B. Kafka in 1931-1941 and is part of Vítkov National Monument. Žižka historical heroics are always on the mind of the Czech folk, when their freedoms are in jeopardy.

For that devious dance between you and me devil devil

For that devious dance between you and me devil devil
Lu letting us know that is she here. I moved the furniture with the big settee covering the whole of the bottom part of the front window. But as you can see that does not stop Lu displaying her persistence and cleverness.
Shy and clever little Angel.
“Just because you don't say much doesn't mean people don't notice you. It's actually the quiet ones who often draw the most attention. There's this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around, and then there's the quiet one, the eye of the storm.”
― Amy Efaw, After
“I was quiet, but I was not blind.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

You'll need to zoom in to discover the second visitor in this Portulaca flower :)
These flowers are small but full of pollen and I was wondering why only very tiny bees were coming for it... until this Honey Bee decided to sample one.
Am very happy to say very common locally but being such A clever bird can be sometimes extremely hard to get near when perched they can fear man as only crows can after centuries of persecution. Has to be one of my very favourite birds you just have to admire A raven . I am over the moon to get this stunning bird perched A fair crop and A horrible dark day so not the best for details.

It was my first time seeing and learning about this unusual shaped orchid.
Here are the "10 Essential Facts About Lady’s Slipper Orchids:
1) A Unique Flowering Orchid: Lady’s Slipper Orchids are named for the distinctive pouch-like shape of their flowers, which resemble a slipper or shoe.
2) Lady’s Slipper Orchids are Native to Many Regions Globally: These orchids can be found worldwide, from North America to Europe and Asia.
3) A Clever Pollination Strategy: The slipper-shaped pouch serves as a trap for pollinators. Insects enter the pouch and are forced to crawl past the surface and pollen, leading to pollination as they try to find a way out.
4) These Orchids Are Considered Endangered Species: Many Lady Slipper Orchids species are endangered or threatened due to habitat destruction, illegal collection, and other environmental factors.
5) Mycorrhizal Relationships: Lady’s Slipper Orchids form a symbiotic relationship with specific fungi in the soil. This relationship is crucial for the orchid’s seeds to germinate and grow.
6) Challenging to Cultivate: Due to their reliance on specific fungi and precise habitat conditions, these orchids can be challenging to cultivate outside their natural environment.
7) Lady’s Slipper Orchids Showcase an Array of Colors: While they might be known for their iconic pink and white shades, they also come in various colors, including yellow, red, and green.
8) Medicinal Properties: Some Native American tribes used Lady’s Slipper Orchids for medicinal purposes, often as a remedy for nervousness, tooth pain, or insomnia.
9) Long Lifespan: In the right conditions, individual Lady’s Slipper Orchid plants can live for several decades.
10) Evolutionary History: Fossil records suggest that the Cypripedioideae subfamily, to which the Lady’s Slipper Orchids belong, dates back around 80 million years."
Thank you for your visit, I'll catch you next time! 🌷🌷🌷
This female leopard was leading a lion away from an area where her cub was. We didn't see the lion at first and were wondering what she was looking back at. She and her cub were safe.
He laid down his cards, oh so clever, so cool,
“My hand can’t be beaten!” he said to the fool,
But the fool in his cloak, with his head in the clouds,
Had a hand filled with wild cards; and laughed, sharp and loud.
For the fool’s game is played in a world of his making,
No board can contain him, no king for the taking,
Ideas are his aces, all rules he defies,
When he lays down his hand with a flash in his eyes.
Photo shot on location at Bar Papillon:
"I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough
to hold each hour sacred.
I am much too small in this world, yet not small enough
to be just a thing to you , dark and clever."

Pad's has quite canny fur in that it shapes to points in rain and water just runs off without penetrating .. a quick shake and he's nearly dry ... useful in a tent in that you get a soggy damp dog rather than a soaking wet one:)
(Bemerkung: Die meisten der kleinen Geschichten des Sekretärs sind in sich abgeschlossen. Diese ist eine Ausnahme und setzt flic.kr/p/2pAVoG3 fort.)
Also, diese Geschichte von meinem Benutzer ("Besitzer" würden wahrscheinlich die meisten sagen, aber das trifft es irgendwie nicht) hat mich schon sehr traurig gemacht – traurig und betroffen.
Nun könnte man sagen: "Tja, so ist das Leben halt." Und auch ich habe ja wahrlich nicht nur Schönes auf Papier gebannt. Ganz besonders traurig und betroffen gemacht hat mich die Rolle, die ich angeblich spielte: Denn sie stimmt einfach nicht. Es ist völlig abwegig, dass ich einen Menschen, der vor mir sitzt, höhnisch oder gar feindselig anschauen würde. Ganz im Gegenteil, ich habe ihn damals aufmunternd angeschaut mit all meinen Tastenreihen – aufmunternd und auch auffordernd. Denn es war ganz klar: Wenn er es noch einmal versucht hätte, sich nur noch einmal aufgerafft hätte – wie von selbst hätten seine Finger die richtigen Tasten getroffen. Aber…
Doch nicht nur meine Rolle in jener Geschichte wurde falsch wiedergegeben, auch die Geschichte selbst war nicht wirklich zu Ende.
Nachdem mein Benutzer (hier muss ich eigentlich schon sagen: "ehemaliger Benutzer", denn ich wurde in irgendeinen Schrank geräumt und vegetierte nutzlos vor mich hin) für einige Zeit einem neuen und wie er selber fand reichlich sinnlosen Broterwerb nachgegangen war, kam es eines Abends dazu, dass seine Lieblingsnichte ihn dazu brachte, sich für sie eine Geschichte auszudenken. Und die musste er ihr nicht nur einmal erzählen, sondern zweimal, dreimal, viermal… Und dann eine zweite Geschichte. Und eine dritte. Schliesslich wollte sie die Geschichten nicht nur erzählt bekommen, sondern kam ins Lesealter und fragte ihren Onkel, ob er ihr die Geschichten nicht aufschreiben könne. In der Zeit, die er nicht mehr zum Erzählen bräuchte, so argumentierte sie mit kindlicher Logik und Schläue, könne er sich neue ausdenken. Und so holte er mich aus dem Schrank, stellte mich wieder auf den mir so wohlvertrauten Tisch und begann, die Geschichten zu tippen. Und weil viele Blätter nur vielleicht halb voll wurden, entschied er sich, die leeren Plätze mit kleinen Zeichnungen zu füllen. So entdeckte er ein Talent neu, das er vor vielen, vielen Jahren als Schüler gehabt und selbst schon lange vergessen hatte. Und eines dieser nur für seine Nichte entstandenen Bücher fiel eines Tages ihrer Patentante in die Hände. Und diese Patentante war Lektorin in einem Verlag.
So kam es, dass aus dem frustrierten Redakteur und zwischenzeitlichen Sachbearbeiter schliesslich ein gefragter Kinderbuchautor wurde. Ich darf nach Herzenslust wieder meiner Lieblingsbeschäftigung nachgehen, genau wie seine vielen Notizbücher, von denen er für spontane Ideen immer eines in der Tasche hat.

(Note: Most of Secretary‘s little stories are self-contained. This one, however, is an exception and a continuation of flic.kr/p/2pAVoG3.)
Now, this story about my user ("owner" is probably the word most people would use, but somehow that's not quite accurate) made me very sad – sad and distraught.
Now you could say: "Well, that's just life." And I, too, have certainly captured not only nice things on paper. I was particularly saddened and istraught by the role I allegedly played in it: because it's simply not true. It is completely absurd that I would look at a person sitting in front of me with a sneer or even hostility. On the contrary, I looked at him encouragingly with my array of keys - encouragingly and also urgingly. Because it was quite clear: if he had tried one more time, if he had pulled himself together just one more time - his fingers would have struck the right keys as if by magic. However, …
But it wasn't just my role in that story that was wrongly described, the story itself wasn't really over yet, either.
After my user (here I should actually say "former user", because I was stowed in a cabinet somewhere and vegetated uselessly) had pursued a new and, as he himself found, rather meaningless occupation for some time, one evening his favorite niece persuaded him to make up a story for her. And he had to tell it to her not just once, but twice, trice, a four time... And then a second story. And a third. Eventually, she didn't just want the stories to be told to her. She reached reading age and asked her uncle if he could write them down for her. During the time he no longer needed to tell the stories, she argued with childlike logic and cleverness, he could make up new ones. So, he took me out of the cabinet, placed me back on the table that was so familiar to me and started typing up the stories. And because many pages ended up about half full, he decided to fill the empty spaces with small illustrations. Such he rediscovered a talent that he had had as a pupil many, many years ago and which he had long forgotten about himself. And one day, one of these books written just for his niece fell into the hands of her godmother. And this godmother was an editor at a publishing house.
And so it happened that the frustrated journalist and meanwhile clerk eventually became a sought-after children's book author. I can pursue my favorite pastime again to my heart's content, just like his many notebooks, one of which he has always in his pocket for spontaneous ideas.
