Pigeon Close-Up

Dennis

Today I did grab the photo gear again and went outside to take more photos. It will probably take months to upload all the photos of the first shooting but I went outside for the second big shooting anyway. I have a lot of fun to take photos with the new camera and it doesn’t really matter when I upload all the images, it’s cool that the photo collection is growing, although I will run out of hard drive space very soon, but I might buy an additional hard drive then. Today I shot all kind of stuff, but also … Continue reading Pigeon Close-Up

Dennis

We found a grass snake in our garden pond yesterday. This is a non-venomous snake you can find here in Germany, generally in Europe from Scandinavia to southern Italy but I learned that you can find them in the Middle East and northwestern Africa as well.

Mice Meeting

Dennis

Above you can see two mice of my half-brother. We took the photo last summer when we did let them play on the lawn. We had to be very careful that they don’t run away. But even if they are fast runners, they were not that fast outside due to the fuzzy grass and probably also because they are not that experienced like a mouse that lives in this habitat. Anyway, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t try to check out the whole lawn. We had to be careful anyway. Continue reading Mice Meeting
