Secrets of the Forest



I used to enjoy going hiking with my family when I was a kid. I learned a lot about the forest and its inhabitants. Even in the cities there is lots of nature. Not only exhaust and hectic. You just have to look for it and create an environment in your living space where Mother Nature can show its wonders.

And don't forget to look up to the sky!

You never know what is happening above you. This is a shot of an osprey gliding along looking for his next meal.

Then again, there are things looking down at us too.

My pet friends

When I was a kid I could never have a dog, because my Dad was allergic to them. I actually never had a pet as a kid except for a turtle. That was the best my Dad could do. There was a phase when all the neighbors kids had turtles.  Believe it or not, at times they would run away. So all the kids painted their backs with a patch of colour or something to tell them apart when found.




Later on I had some dutch bunnies, guinea pigs, gerbils, degus and of course hamsters. Digger was my first hamster and he had the run of our apartment most evenings.  He didn't do any damage.  Just stacking things in various places.  Once he disappeared in the wall of the apartment building.  I was very upset and could here him in the wall.  He wouldn't come out.  I sat there beside his cage and waited forever. Then I thought of luring him back out with his favourite treat.  Cheese Whiz.  I put his cage by the hole in the wall.   After another hour or so at about 4 in the morning here came Digger.  Dusty and dirty, but otherwise just fine.  Right for the Cheese Whiz he went.  He was with us for quite a few years.

BTW: I think now is a good time to order your calendar for next year. They make great gifts too. Check out the cool calendars at this link:
