Wow, wonderful pictures!
And moss... I LOVE moss, feeling it, looking at it, the colour .. green velveteen :)

The Quranic school was quite an experience, the building a work of art!

Garden problems
I was not amused: coastal area, ground water levels can be high during winter... this was the worst I've had so far... fingers crossed cos that was real bad!




different kind of problem... dead sea gull in my garden. Couldn't leave it there to rot, I have 2 cats.. Took me at least an hour to muster up the courage to scoop it up. I walked over to it several times, only to turn back "I can NOT do this!!!" But did it in the end, shaking like a leave. I hate sea gulls ..
I can laugh about it now, lol

Beautiful cats!

A rather upset buzzard .. it had a nest close by and it wasn't happy with me being there. I never knew buzzard could hover either, thought only kestrels did, but I saw it with my own eyes... He was actually hovering right above us, we were standing under a tree.. Mr or Mrs Buzzard really wasn't happy with us!

Incredible photo!
Wow look at that wingspan and the pattern of the feathers. Such detail!
It must have been a bit freaky for him to hover over you...scared

That is a hawk. Raptor. Buzzards are vultures. Totally different.

I used to raise Guinea Fowl too, besides Peafowl. This was a purple guinea hen that was not culled as she should have been, thus becoming a house bird. I'd let her out to play in the yard to free range with the boy guineas and she had a mate, a white porcelain who would watch over her since she couldn't run with them and was crippled.

That's cool Fleta. Kind of reminds me of a quail.
Do/did you live on a farm?

I used to have a hobby farm. Horses and chickens too.

Yeah, guinea keets look like quail when they hatch, but are more than 3 x's bigger at time of hatching. They are all of the pheasant family.

That is so cool. I love the idea of a hobby farm, love animals. But it is a lot of work! A labour of love for sure. drinker

Yes, I was very vigilant, ready to jump in the bushes or shove my ex in the buzzard's path, had he had any thoughts of attacking, lol.
I can't take pictures like this anymore .. wasn't my camera, I just have a small compact thingy.. It's not bad, makes rather nice close-ups, but not this kind of stuff...

My Buddha.. bought it for the garden, but I liked it so much, I kept it in the living room.

About a month ago, nice sunny weather (god, I could do with that now!) from the seawall looking at the marina




But then .. grey, dull weather calls for warm coloured t-lights, which I DO like :)
