FRIENDLY CHALLENGES

Carpenter bees (Xylocopa) are solitary bees (similar to mason and leafcutter bees), and their excavation efforts involve creating a tunnel to raise their brood. Fortunately, they are exceedingly docile as the males don't sting at all, and you practically have to squish the female between your fingers to elicit a reaction.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
We have had a really hot dry summer this year and a lot of my plants have suffered but my geraniums have flowered their little socks off and the Bees have loved it.
I was just passing by, walking along in the village of Oberndorf in Lower Bavaria (Niederbayern). We were complete strangers. But I broke the ice by offering the horses a couple of juicy plums from a tree beyond the electric fence. From that moment on we were the best of friends. I posted one image of these two back in 2018, but I like this one too. [FUJI8598_lr_2000]

These impressing monkeys have an amazing mimikry. Its a subspecies of baboons wich live in the "Tierpark Berlin". Only one day with good weather when we were in Berlin for a long weekend - so we choosed to try to make some sunshine photos away from the many tourists in the inner city. This was a good idea.. :-D

When your subject takes a couple steps forward and decides to fold her arms, you know she trusts you. Shortly after she dozed off. Wish every Bobcat would do this. Lol!
Another one from the sculpture's yard. The sign said it was a flower but looking up it looked more like a dragon to me. I must be wrong because there was an actual dragon next to it. Well, not actual, but recognizable as such. That one was difficult to photograph in one piece so I don't know yet if I can show it.
This reminded me of a Sesame Street character...lol....he seems to be smiling...and he has a heart shaped piggy nose...so he has to be friendly..!!.....lol
Beautiful fox who befriended us and lived in our garden, she would sleep next to us in the garden and pop into the kitchen for a treat.
Only one of all the Red-backed Shrikes I saw at the Cristei Meadow was brave and friendly enough to approach me.
I know waves are not friendly to people sometimes, but I captured these waves from my hometown, Kalutara North, Sri Lanka. I feel like they are friendly!!!
Despite being absolutely terrifying, whip scorpions are actually quite harmless. They have no venom would rather make a speedy getaway then try to win a match against a much scarier human. They still win the metal for spookiest looking bug though
tailless whip scorpion
Paraphrynus carolynae

I've seen a few of these over the years but only a fleeting glimpse as they are very fast and normally slither away before you can even raise your camera. This guy seemed the same when all of a sudden he raised his head up and sat there and actually posed.
