It’s easy to find rabbits in our districts. When I was a child, we had hundreds of them roaming around on the lawns in front of our apartment blocks. Over the decades, they became less due to a disease but then again, it’s still possible to find them. I found the rabbit a few days ago and thought it would be a perfect fit for an Easter theme post. So, Happy Easter to you guys! Continue reading Happy Easter
I found the bird at the top some days ago in a garden area. It’s a great tit bird (Parus major) and it’s not the first time I photographed this species. In German, we call this bird “Kohlmeise”. It’s a beautiful bird and I think the photo I shot is ok, except that I find the background a little bit distracting but you can’t always get it perfect. What do you think?

Some days ago when I was hiking, I spotted a bird of prey far up in the air. It was flying really high, in circles, like 100 meters or 200 meters high maybe.

Three years ago I photographed a street cat in our historic district. Three days ago, I walked through the same street again and was amazed when I found the exact same cat again, still ruling the street. I am glad … Continue reading Same Cat, Three Years Later
In the last three days, the weather was pretty good and I was outside a lot. In three days, I hiked 46 kilometers (28.6 miles) and I had my camera with me and shot a few photos. As usual, I also took photos of cats but I didn’t find a lot. One day I was walking through the garden areas again and saw a cat on the roof of a garden shack. I was already pretty close to the cat but it was good that I had my Tamron 70-300mm lens attached. So, I zoomed to 300mm and shot the … Continue reading Black Cat on the Roof
