Daily Prompt: Great Expectations


Today the Daily Prompt asks “Tell us about one thing (or more) that you promised yourself you’d accomplish by the end of the year. How would you feel once you do? What if you don’t?” and I really can relate to this question. After tons of photos that I took with my point and shoot camera or smartphone, I really would say that I am interested in taking photos. While I do think that you can get great results on this way, I also found out the limitations of the hardware. I have the idea in my mind to buy … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Great Expectations

Ant Power And Teamwork


I shot the photo above some weeks ago when I was in Salem to have a barbecue. I found many ants there and really liked it, when I saw an ant that carried another one. The autofocus of my point and shoot camera does not always work very well. In this case, the ants did always run out of the focus, which resulted in a very blurry photo.

Two More Cat And Towel Snapshots

I showed one of the photos from this set already earlier. Continue reading Two More Cat And Towel Snapshots

Chicken Fricassee For Cats

If my cat would live outside, she could hunt birds, mouse’s, rabbits and what not. But a house cat is dependent on us, the pet owner. This is why I think it is important to offer variety. I always seek for new stuff. To be honest, I … Continue reading Chicken Fricassee For Cats

Photo Gallery: New Sand Lizard Photos


I wrote already about the Sand Lizard on my blog and published a photo in the article. But I had the chance to take some new photos of a Sand Lizard, because we were in Salem yesterday, a beautiful place with intact nature. It is quite easy to find Sand Lizard´s in Salem. Grandma and grandpa have a caravan site there in Salam and grandpa told me that the Sand Lizard´s are everywhere in the bush behind the fences. This was my chance to take new photos of this beautiful reptile and he was right. It took not much time … Continue reading Photo Gallery: New Sand Lizard Photos
