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.
Common Whitethroat - Sylvia communis
Taken on on local walks!
The common whitethroat (Sylvia communis) is a common and widespread typical warbler which breeds throughout Europe and across much of temperate western Asia. This small passerine bird is strongly migratory, and winters in tropical Africa, Arabia, and Pakistan.
This is one of several Sylvia species that has distinct male and female plumages. Both sexes are mainly brown above and buff below, with chestnut fringes to the secondary remiges. The adult male has a grey head and a white throat. The female lacks the grey head, and the throat is duller.
This species may appear to be closely related to the lesser whitethroat, the species having evolved only during the end of the last ice age similar to the willow warbler and chiffchaffs. However, researchers found the presence of a white throat is an unreliable morphological marker for relationships in Sylvia, and the greater and lesser whitethroats are not closely related.
This is a bird of open country and cultivation, with bushes for nesting. The nest is built in low shrub or brambles, and 3–7 eggs are laid. Like most warblers, it is insectivorous, but will also eat berries and other soft fruit.

The caterpillars of the silver-studded blue have a close relationship with ants! The ants protect the caterpillars from predators and parasites, in return they get to feed on a sugary substance that the caterpillars produce. When the caterpillars are ready to pupate, they do so in a shallow chamber just below the ground - often in ant nests. The ants will attend the pupa just as they did the caterpillar, and can even be seen swarming around the newly-emerged adult butterflies, offering them some protection as they wait for their wings to dry.
Well my friends WELCOME to 2018 .A year of peace,joy and happiness.
A year made for manifestation and wishes fullfield but also for love,tolerance and kindness.
A year in which for the sake of humanity and of our own happiness we need to remember how to build bridges,unions and relationships instead of breaking them how we did last year.
A year thatt I know it can make all our dreams come true and the world a better place, if we can only stick together in a place of love and positivity and not allow personal fears,frustrations and failures to turn us one against each other.
A year in which I know we can really find the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,the courage to change what can be changed and the wisdom to know the difference if we understand the importance of it.
A year that I know it can become the best one ever no matter the cicumstances if we can only decide that it will be so and hold this decision in our hearths with love and faith all through our daily ups and downs.
Happy New Year!!! my friends.
And much peace&love to
you all!

I have a love/hate relationship with this image and wasn't sure to post it, but here it is, the decision to post won. :)
Frogs are not unlike humans in that individuals have very different personalities. Some are terrified of people, screeching and diving under water at the first hint of proximity. With others, one can gradually forge a relationship of trust.
Wild frogs of the right temperament can be slowly approached by gently talking to them with a musical voice. They may not understand words but can sense intent within tonalities and over time become familiar with certain notes.
I built such a bond of trust with the tree frog in this photo during the summer of 2023. With dew lap throbbing in response to my greetings, it remained comfortable as I got very close with my camera.

Before we had to fence our backyard in order to adopt our dog, Emmy, I had a love/hate relationship with deer. The deer in our neighborhood viewed our backyard as a haven with the added benefit of gourmet dining.
It was lovely to look out my window and see one peacefully sleeping in my garden. However, I didn't like how they destroyed my garden - aargh! Anyway, the fence solved the whole issue, but at times I still miss seeing them.

Stilpnia heinei
(Black-capped Tanager / Tangara capirotada)
The black-capped tanager (Stilpnia heinei) is one of the many species of Neotropical bird in the family Thraupidae. It lives in mountains of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela year-round.
The black-capped tanager was described in 1851, from a type specimen collected in Colombia. It is a member of the genus Stilpnia, in the tanager family, Thraupidae.
The genus name Stilpnia was proposed in 2016 instead of Tangara for T. heinei in order to match the phylogenetic relationships among tanagers.
With the Covid 19 lock down thought it was a good idea to go through some old photographs and negatives. I've always had a love/hate relationship with Fujifilm cameras (love the Jpgs but Lightroom doesn't like the Raws normally). However using lightroom recently it seems to have massively improved (the worming effect) if you import them as DNG's. Happy days.
Las relaciones son como las drogas, o te matan, o te dan la mejor sensación de tu vida.
Relationships are like drugs, or they kill you, or they give you the best feeling in your life .

"I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole
through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want
it to "not matter." I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament
to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep,
so was the love. So be it."...

*Working Towards a Better World
Humankind's greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. - Jonathon Porritt
In reality, we haven't escaped the gravity of life at all. We are still beholden to ecological laws, the same as any other life-form. - Janine M. Benyus
Our relationship with nature is more one of being than having. We are nature: we do not have nature. - Steven Harper
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. - Rachel Carson
The underlying economic logic of an economy based on unlimited growth remains largely unchallenged in public discourse. - Timothy C. Weiskel
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being. - Mohammed
The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself. -
Dr. Michael W. Fox, One Earth, One Mind
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. -Rachel Carson
We must never permit the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. - Albert Schweitzer, quoted in Reverence for Life

I have a kind of love/hate relationship with ice plant. It has beautiful flowers and makes for cool pics.
BWTM, many, many years ago, when I was in basic training at Ft. Ord, California, we weren't allowed to leave the battalion area the first few weekends we were there unless on duty. So, one Saturday morning, the drill sergeants loaded a bunch of us into a deuce and a half, gave each of us a carpet knife and a gunny sack. They then took us out to one of the beach ranges that had lots of ice plant and told us to cut it with the knife and stick it in the bag. When all of our bags were full, we went to another range that didn't have much ice plant and they told us to plant the stuff we had just picked. "Just stick the cut end into the sand. It'll grow" they said. So, we did. Know what? They were right.
But I still hate the stuff.
But Mot'ka doesn't believe him...

As much as this scene begs to be displayed in traditional monochrome New topographics style it has so much more to offer in color.
The nuances of hues across the water and grass present themselves nicely in color as does the mist of the fountain.
But her beauty is only skin deep.......
As I had previously noted; humanity has bastardized nature by replacing streams with stagnant industrial ditches, waterfalls with fountains, and sad bronze statues where once herds of elk roamed.
The harder the landscape architects try to recreate nature in their 'functional public parks' the more they demonstrate the degree of change for natural wilderness.
New Topographic artists "primarily concerned with relationships of land to culture and the particularities of social existence"
"In reality there are no "before" pictures when photographing landscape. Only an endless sequence of "afters". book New topographics - photographs of a Man altered landscape. 1975 - page 41.
In example; this was an open midwest prairie. Then a working farm in the 1800's. now a sprawling industrial park. And someday as Chicagoland expands into the the suburbs the land will again be transformed into a row of high-rise apartments.
And yes, that's an airplane attesting to our effects upon the skies as well. No, contrails are not beautiful !!!!!
“Relationships are like birds. If you hold tightly, they die. If you hold loosely, they fly. But if you hold with care, they remain with you forever.”
I hope you always soar with me, chase your dreams and celebrate life with me as your Mama and you as my baby dove. ♥
