There were a lot of this kind of birds by the sea. During cloudy days, they were very patient models as there weren't any people on the beach.

free as a bird...

These beautiful birds were staring at the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. They looked as if they were really enjoying the view and as if it was a great pleasure for them to stand there and just watch the sun coming out.

two creatures

There has been a funny photo of my dog in my computer for a long time, but I haven't had any idea what to do with it till now. Yesterday, I managed to take a similar one and it turned out to be a funny couple of two different but yet, similar creatures:) The second picture presents a roe deer.

Spring ladies:)

A few days ago, I made a small daisy-chain. Then, I was trying to put it on my dogs' heads. It was very difficult in case of the smaller one. She kept turning her head backwards so that the daisy-chain was falling down. The bigger one, on the other hand, didn't care what was put on her head and she was so patient that I was able to take some photos of her. The background in these pictures is not pretty, but I could not convince them to change their location. Apparently cold dross is the best place to spend Sunday mornings :D

Flying beauties

During working on my website I accidently found a folder with photos from a rehabilitation center for injured birds. I posted some photos form that place a few months ago. It turned out that there were many photos that I didn't have time to work with, so I decided to post them now. Correct me if I'm wrong with the names of the birds as there were so many species that I might have forgotten some of them.

Kestrel

Peregrine Falcon

Long-eared Owl


Tawny Owl

The 15th National Show of Purebred Dogs in Rybnik - Kamień (Oct 3, 2010).

I'm suffering from the chronic lack of time, lately. That is why I'm showing you these photos so late. The 15th National Show of Purebred Dogs tok place on October 3rd. The weather was wonderful. It was quite warm and the sun was shining the whole day. This is what we saw there:)

The inscription on the wall says: "To be, or not to be: that is the question"... this dog seems to consider these words:)

Our first visitors of this Autumn

These little fellows are our first visitors which came to our feeders this Autumn. They appeared in the second day after we placed the feeders. The Great Tits are the most numerous species. . There were about ten of them once. The Great Tits aren't the only birds that visited us, though. Except from Sparrows, a bird called Greenfinch has appeared. Thank You for the identification of this bird, Keith.

Greenfinch

Great Tit

Kestrels

There were a few Kestrels in Ustroń. They were very eager to pose and very patient.

Barn owl

Barn Owl was another beautiful bird that I was admiring in the rehabilitation center.

Snow owl

I have visited a great place last sunday. It was a rehabilitation center for injured birds of pray. There were many species of beautiful birds like owls and eagles. I would like to show you today a Snow Owl. I think it is the most beutiful owl I have ever seen. It has very deep and 3D eyes.

What I found in the garden... part two.

This time I want to show You a couple of bugs, a butterfly and a ladybird. According to Keith the butterfly is called Ringled Butterfly. Thanks, Keith:)

What I found in the garden... part one.

I've been dividing my posts into two parts lately. This set is devoted to: 'what I found in my grandmother's garden'. There are so many small screatures there that I'm not able to name all of them. Today I want to show you two butterflies and a moth. At least that's what I thing they are. Maybe I'm wrong - I think the last one is a moth and the first three photos show butterflies. What do You think?

Bugs!

Here is a collection of dead bugs.

I know what You think... "you're a cruel person, Asia". For my defence I can say that I didn't kill them. They all come from the huge collection of my friend's father I was writing about in the previous post. He collects all kinds of bugs and insects from all of the world. He keeps them in the fridge and in show-cases on walls. His collection is huge and the butterfly from the previous post comes from it too.

I was wondering if You could tell if these bugs are dead. I know they are, so for me it's obvious. I think that their eyes are too mat and without this "spark". Especially the bug from the first picture. What do You think?
