At 4 a.m. I got up and Boza stayed in bed even this morning. It was foggy and dreary down in the valley, but on top the hill where we were, it was sunbeams cutting through the fog and the neighbor Nickali had just walked out of his house to greet the day. Then I […]
This is a huge bird, I hope to get a picture one day of a raven flying with the eagle. It is over twice as big as the ravens are and it is fun to watch as the eagles and ravens fly “loop de loop” sometimes. It is what makes life beautiful… I take literally […]
Sometimes when walking around and looking at nature, you come across very interesting things happening. In the case of this video, I have no ability to understand how these birds are able to even function. Animals posses amazing skills in various ways. I many times feel that we humans are lacking in even the most […]
Boza and I took a two hour walk and here is what we discovered on that walk… I found it interesting that the guy at the fish shack was fishing in the pond for his breakfast. This was about 6 a.m and he is the worker that stays 24 hours a day, 7 days a […]
The big lake at the Fish Village has revamped the beach area. They are and have gone fancy. It is a busy beach, when it gets hot, but as you see right now it is empty. That is because it is 15 degrees Celsius right now and that is just too cold for most people. […]
Last night I was blessed to find two images on the inside wall of a village home owned by my village buddy, Vova… Here they are, I took a quick shot with my camera and am going to ask if I can take them down from the wall, to get a better shot of them. […]
Well Mother Nature tested my roof I repaired yesterday and last night. It stormed to beat the band and if it survived what we had last night it will survive most anything that we have for weather around here. Boza and I even went out in the middle of the storm and got into the […]
No options, for it might as well not have a roof at this point. Tar paper just does not last, yet we try to apply it and hope 10 years later it still holds. Just will not happen, so a cup of coffee, short post and off to work. This is the first of two […]
At 2:56 a.m. I sat up in bed. It was light out and Mr. Nightingale was singing for all he is worth. Then Song Thrush was at the front gate and she was singing to her babies all over the yard and I decided that nature said it was time to get up. So Boza […]
I have never seen a hummingbird moth in the village, until a few weeks ago. I was able to grab a picture of it and have not seen another one since then. It stayed only a few seconds and then, I guess it went back to Europe! For it sure does not look much like […]
