Gathering


The photo above is my entry to the recent photo challenge. I thought I could use one of my bird photos for the theme “gathering”, although I shot the photo by the end of summer. Some photo challenges do remind me to go through the photos which I didn’t upload yet. You can see cormorants in the photo, I found them when I walked through the Schellbruch preserve area outside of our city. I really like cormorants, they are very interesting birds.

About The Third Day In Our Temporary Home


I want to write about my cat Shyna and the third day in our temporary home. At the time I write this, we are already here for five or six days, so, the reports about my cat are a little bit delayed. The third day was interesting, because my cat became curious about the other rooms. It was silent, because me and my cat were alone that evening. First she dared to check the small corridor in front of our room. The corridor leads to the kitchen, and the kitchen is connected to the living room, and there is a … Continue reading About The Third Day In Our Temporary Home

About The Second Day In Our Temporary Home


As I said in my first post about our new temporary home, my cat did rub her nose on the plastic of the transport box during the drive. You can see the nose injuries in one of the photos above, but it looks already a little bit better now and it will heal. When she started to explore our room the second day, I also noticed that she started to eat and drink and that is good, because she didn’t do that the first day as she was stressed. The are some small improvements. I also like that she doesn’t … Continue reading About The Second Day In Our Temporary Home

Moved For A While


So, here comes a small update,… I moved out of my apartment, at least for a while. This is just temporary, I will go back to my apartment. As I mentioned some time ago, my uncle got some health problems, and he felt better after a while, but over the recent weeks he got some bad symptoms, but the doctor said the symptoms will disappear. However, I don’t want to write about it in detail, but he needs help at the moment, which is why I moved to my uncle for a while, together with my cat Shyna. We got … Continue reading Moved For A While

Close-Up Plant Photo


Here is a plant photo that I shot by the end of summer in a local school garden. The original photo was really bad, with extreme highlights, but then I noticed that the plant was not too much overexposed, only the rest of the image. I cropped the plant out, got closer on that way, and decreased the exposure a little bit for correction. Even that close, I was happy to see that the plant was just a little blurry, and that I could fix this with sharpening and a little amount of clarity. I like the result, except that … Continue reading Close-Up Plant Photo
