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. I did add an amount of sharpening with Adobe Lightroom to fix this a little bit at least. What I love about ants is that they are team players and they have … Continue reading Ant Power And Teamwork

Two More Cat And Towel Snapshots


As I mentioned already, I also sometimes try to annoy my cat. I wanted to have some funny photos of her with a towel over her head but the photos aren´t that great, so that I would rather call them snapshot. But still funny, this is why I upload them anyway. I showed one of the photos from this set already earlier. Continue reading Two More Cat And Towel Snapshots

Chili Con Carne Fire Edition And Some Talk About Spicy Food In General


I think I didn´t talk much about it here but I have a huge passion for hot and spicy food. Fifteen years ago or more, my family had friends (or let me say someone did marry into our family) which had Tunisian roots or let me simply say they were Arabs.

I was still teenager at that time and when we did eat Arabic food, it felt like flying with a rocket to the moon, so … Continue reading Chili Con Carne Fire Edition And Some Talk About Spicy Food In General

Grand Master of Kitty Order


I thought it´s time again for a new meme. I was a little bit inspired by Star Wars and the character Master Yoda who said “Secret, shall I tell you? Grand Master of Jedi Order am I. Won this job in a raffle I did, think you?”. I did annoy my cat a little bit with a towel and took a photo. I thought she was looking like a Jedi Master and searched for a nice Star Wars quote, to put it in the image. My original photo was really a crappy shot, so that I didn´t expect much of … Continue reading Grand Master of Kitty Order

Chicken Fricassee For Cats


I found something new for my cat in a local store. About cats food, I always try to give my cat variety because I would hate it if I would just get two or three particular meals over and over again, so why should my cat get the same stuff again and again? 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
