On my way to work yesterday -while I hurried down the -eight- stairs... and walked through the porch - I saw 'him'. Such a tender, beautiful - primitive but sophisticated - creature. He stood out to me (and that's hard because of the design of the tiles at that porch) - immediately. When, after taking photos of him laying on my stomach, I moved him to side of the porch so no-one would step on him with a leaf - he retreated into his little home.

Now tell me: isn't nature b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l? Cool

Good job, Tsedek!!! What a beautiful fellow he is!

Hey, did you ever figure out what this critter is, I looked all over the internet...nada nuttin'...

Beitcafe, I hope you are reading here from time to time still... because from a forum I am involved with because of my work I had someone tell me he thought this is a Hediste Diversicolor (or an off spring that looks like it).

This is my dog. Well starting from today. Isn't he simply beautiful? The name I've given him is Klaas (old Dutch name) because nobody knows the name he's been addressed with for the first 5 orso years of his life. He was a stray and ended up in the dog compound. He's very skinny but I'm going to take care of that...

I hope you and Klaas enjoy your new life as a team. Did you take him out today?

i know this can be explained scientifically etc. but I prefer to absorb those miraculous views within my own believe. science is so cold, so distant...(and often recalled when discovering something new that takes away the carpet from under the feet a specific theory was based on).

Here's a Rose. It's on Pinkas. The 'shteel' dried up completely. There wasn't almost anything left of the Rose-bush I got to know in 2008. And then....... today....... THIS:

Tsedek he is just delicious - I'm so sorry I haven't said so earlier, but I've been off line for two months!!! Everyone is so angry and/or worried with/about me because I haven't been in touch with them - I'm talking mostly family here (and heaven forbid they should phone Rolling Eyes

) However I'm back now and have to tell you Klaas is a real touch of class - and he will only have eyes for you now - as a friend of mine here in Italy says (she often takes care of stray dogs) that no-one loves a human better than a dog who has been abandoned and then taken in by someone. In their eyes (the dog's) they (the person) can do no wrong - and in my experience it's true. When we first found our little dog Sabi he arrived at a time when I was so low and so many thing were going wrong in my life to the extent that I always call him to myself my little gift - because I really think he was - sent by whoever watches over us, because he was exactly what I have always wanted. He gave me such a lift. And nobody before or since has ever give me a better or more loved present.

May you enjoy your little gift to the utmost as I'm am sure he will always enjoy being with you Smile

A praying mantis? They're green, normally, but maybe it looks that colour because of the flash?

no it is not because of the flash but they seem to -like chameleons- take on the color of their surroundings (someone who came to visit me that evening and understands in those things told me).

an eerie experience to me. clear blue skies and huge grey threatening clouds competing in taking over the 'scene' and dictating the mood...

Yes, grey clouds are eerie when they come on like that - and completely change the scene and the mood as you say. the tree looks lovely against hte grey background though.

Karen I never got to answering your question about Fairytaletree.
I am feeling a bit guilty Sad

Since I have discovered a route to the sea that goes thru a park rather than thru the city I haven't been visiting him lately Sad

This photo is to symbolize that everything hangs on a very thin thread:

Hi Tsedek,

Spring has sprung in Germany - or is in the process of springing - so here is a gift for you - a couple of butterflies for your collection:

Thank you so very much, Whodey Smile

Wow!!!!! you got butterflies to pose for your photos!! I find it so terribly hard to get them to sit still when they're around and seem to be sitting on a flower only to fly away soon as I reach for my camera. You must have a magic transmission code to them to have them sit there while you photograph them.

I haven't got more photos to place here since last weekend since I've been taking only 'family' photos this week, of my deliciously sweet granddaughter Smile

Hopefully I'll get to place some tomorrow after walking my therapeutic route to the Nemaal (port) of Tel-Aviv thru the park I never knew the existence of even until 2 months ago...

When walking thru the park to the port of Tel-Aviv, one passes a kinda miniature zoo. Personally I call it animal prison, but OK. Here is an emu my Klaas is usually barking at (from all the animals in the 'zoo' he inexplicably chooses to bark at this animal only) -

only today... this emu was tired and haughtily ignored all Klaas' barking - and... I got to take a good photo of his 'punky' head Razz

klaas was attacked by a (rather small) cat last week. today he's going to have a 'spa' bath and hair cut. klaas doesn't also like the food i bought for him in a hurry last friday night (when i discovered his food was finished) and it's pedigree...

klaas keeps me busy a lot.

Shuli, I found this little creature on the inside of my bedroom window. On the glass window inside of the outer-side shades. I blew him a bit around and he settled on the shutters. I made many pictures of him being there. But... it was when he decided he had enough of all this and wanted to venture out (showing he's in control of his life-stile), taking control of his life, instead of me blewing him into freedom, that I saw he was looking back down at me from the upper shutter of the many shutters forming my sun-shade, that I noticed he was turning back as if to say "goodbye" while staring me in the face on the picture I took above Smile

Hi Tsedek

I would just like you to know that I have used a couple of your beautiful photos for the teaching programme I began at work recently. Your photos have totally wowed a lot of people - and we are not talking kids here. I teach as you know business executives on site, (i.e. in the workplace) and the programme has been extended not only to my students but also of four other teachers - so just under 100 adults (graduates) between the ages of 30 and 40 mostly.

One student wrote straight back and said how much easier it was to learn with the photos attached - so I daresay I'll be borrowing some more if you don't mind Smile

Someone having enthused about your photo asked me if it was mine and I had to admit it wasn't Crying or Very Sad

So please do keep posting - there are a lot of people who really do appreciate your fine eye for beauty and detail.

Karen

Wow, that's such a compliment !!!!!!

Thank you Karen. I needed this kind of confirmation that what I'm doing is OK. Although I shoot photos for my own personal 'yoga' (I relax shooting and I relax seeing them and remembering what I experienced when seeing those miracles of nature usually) I now understand that getting positive feedback is like a balsam applied to my 'i am wondering' side Wink
