After fostering Ms. Kitty for almost 2 months, today her adopters travelled into town to collect her. They are wonderful people who have adopted from me before, so, I know that her future is assured. They are thinking of calling her Dulce, which is a perfect name – as she is sweetness personified.
'This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.'

In Greek we have a saying "every good thing, at some point ends". And that's what happened to my vacation as I am now back to "reality". At least I had wonderful time while I was visiting Aruba, a place that I have never been before. And even if it wasn't Greece, it felt like it a little. You see, in Greece many people have a tradition for their summer vacation: they pick an island and they visit it by exploring it and going to every beach it has. Aruba offered me that opportunity as it has many places to explore, lots of beautiful beaches and it's an extremely safe island overall. So if you are not a person that will just lay by the Resort's pool and have a drink, Aruba is your island. whether you explore it by making your own schedule or using a local guide, it's fun and lovely! I took this picture at the Baby beach, probably the most famous beach in the island outside the resorts area. It's a small bay, almost a lagoon, with shallow crystal clear water and very strong winds. So don't even try to set up your beach tent or umbrella. You are better off finding a divi-dive tree (called Watapana in the local Awawak language) and lay underneath it to get some shade and cool off.

the scent of summer never lasts
the nights turn hollow and vast
but nothing remains…nothing lasts.”

A pair of Northern Gannets at their nest.
The male on the left had just returned and the female started to shake her head from side to side as if saying "Where have you been for all this time?"
The male then started to dart forward excitedly towards the female, beak agape,but never got too close.!
A few days later the female laid her first egg in the nest.
The head shaking is behaviour I have seen before but I have never managed to capture it on camera!.

Saying "How much more snow can we get; this is the south!". We got 9.5" of wet snow and it has not melted much yet.
This is the first time I've photographed the Milky Way from this location looking south. Usually I am at the lighthouse facing west. I'd like to shoot this in the spring when you can see the arch across the sky but not sure I have enough energy to be there early in the morning around 3 or 4 am lol.

Today my manager takes me away from Barnes. I will be moved somewhere for couple of days until I get a new placement. We sit in the station's garden for a coffee and from nowhere a little Robin appears...He is not taking bread crumbs but stands next to me and looking for some minutes..Someone passed away yesterday and we did not manage to say Good Bye each to other..Is it him who sent me a Little Robin? I strongly believe there is connection...

I decided to update my alt from the static mesh head I had so I could use her for more photos, and I am very pleased with the outcome. ^_^
The Adventure
The weekend had been magical. Honni had never felt more relaxed or in love with their boyfriend. Spending so much time with family, in the water, and surrounded by the sweet Mediterranean air really recharged and re-energized our adventurer. But like all good moments, this one had to end too. After packing their bags, and saying their goodbyes, Honni and Melethril walked up to the front desk in the lobby and checked out.
So long Portoluna! We’ll miss you!
Where was Honni?

Flickr staff sent me an email saying, among other things: "Your account was brought to our attention and upon review, we determined that your content and/or behavior was in violation of the Guidelines and Terms of Service. Specifically, the following photo was found to be in violation: www.flickr.com/photos/145003604@N02/51902747612/ Please be aware that any subsequent violation of the Flickr Community Guidelines or Terms could result in termination of your account without further notice. Regards, Flickr Staff"
The photo that was specifically "found to be in violation" is the one preceding this one with the title "Solidarity with Ukraine! Down with the criminal state of Russia!"
I sent the flickr staff the following reply: "I wonder very much what is wrong with the photo complained about. Is it forbidden in this community to express solidarity with Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in a way that is illegal under international law, i.e. criminal?" I have not yet received an answer.
This war of aggression was a crime committed by the Russian state from the very beginning, not to mention war crimes such as the deliberate murders of fleeing civilians or the Bucha massacre. Also the latest news testify to the criminal character of the Russian state: www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/10/world/russia-ukraine-war-...
As the flickr staff hasn't replied yet, I don't know who brought my account to their attention. But I can imagine what kind of person this was: either a brainwashed person who believes Putin's propaganda to the letter, or the kind of Russian diplomat who in all seriousness calls a red paint bag attack on the entrance of the Russian Embassy in Vienna in protest against this war a "barbaric act" (as happened on March 6).
But what I don't understand at all and find extremely disappointing and disconcerting: that the flickr staff falls for this game and now threatens me.
A rare occasion when a Short-eared owl not only flies close to you, but perches by your car. I was just about to pack up the car when I noticed this guy sitting on a pole right next to the parking lot.

Why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say
Foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye

A mink scours the shoreline of the marsh in search of a quick meal. Diving under logs, in and out of the water, constantly searching for food.
I just so happen to be sitting in the right spot as he bounded across this fallen log acting as a makeshift bridge to the shore. Stopping briefly to check me out before heading on his way to continue the search.
The last snowdrops make room for thousands of scilla. And the meadows in our garden are changing from white to blue. :-)

I just happened to have two carrots with me, so they happily munched on them after I took the photo :-))

A golden morning sky before the onset of rain at Lake Geroldsee, also known as Wagenbrüchsee, in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen region, perfectly embodying the saying: "Red sky at dawn...bad weather is coming."
I had barely arrived at the lake around 6:45 a.m. when it started to drizzle from the west, while the sky and its reflections created fantastic colors.
After just under an hour, I was completely soaked, but I'd got the pictures...a good morning for photography.

Goldener Morgenhimmel vor aufkommendem Regen am Geroldsee alias Wagenbrüchsee im Garmisch-Partenkirchener Land, frei nach dem Motto: "Morgenrot...Schlechtwetter droht".
Kaum war ich gegen 6:45 Uhr an dem See angekommen fing es von Westen an zu tröpfeln, während der Himmel nebst Spiegelung tolle Farben kreierte.
Nach einer knappen Stunde war ich dann völlig nass, aber die Bilder im Kasten...ein guter Fotomorgen.
