Initial Cat Domestication Possibly Begun In China Rather Than In Egypt
Today cats are very common and popular pets but this leads also to the interesting question when the relationship between cats and humans started. Then there is the term domestication which means the further consolidation of the relationship in form of a close life together which we would call “keeping animals” or “keeping pets” today. The question when the relationship or even the further domestication of cats started is an interesting issue. Scientists try to answer this question since a long time but it is not easy as ancient cat remains are rare discoveries in archaeological sites. The last scientific … Continue reading Initial Cat Domestication Possibly Begun In China Rather Than In Egypt
Weekly Photo Challenge: Window
The motto of the latest Weekly Photo Challenge is “Window”. I found some photographs with windows on my hard drive and also some where I look through a window with my lens. But they all were rather boring. I thought I could not participate to the running photo challenge. But then I stumbled upon the image above and wondered why I did take a photo of a tomato in front of my mother’s kitchen window. It must be some time ago and I guess it was meant to be an experiment at that time. I can remember that I was … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Window

The Cross Spider
In 2012 I bought a cheap Medion digital camera which I reviewed at that time. It was really a good digital camera for that price but I don´t use the camera anymore since I prefer my smartphone camera at the moment. The main reason is that I have my smartphone all the time with me and that is an advantage. But you can find a spider photo in my older camera review and now I took this spider image to apply some effects with the android app called Pixlr-o-matic. I really like how the mood of an image can change … Continue reading The Cross Spider
Bearded Dragon Reptile
Above you can see a photo of a Bearded Dragon Reptile. I took this photo some time ago when I visited a friend as he own two of them. I wrote about it at that time. I took one of the images of the article I posted and edited the image with an android app called Pixlr-o-matic. Well, the image in the article here is the result and looks different now than the original image. I have already posted other images I edited with pixlr-o-matic. I really can suggest to try this free app out as you can get pretty … Continue reading Bearded Dragon Reptile
