“A New Kitten on the Block”!

DDD2640 [kitten]

This kitten,whose eyes were closed until a few days ago, is a new resident in our block of flats. Inexperienced of our world, she's curiously looking into something that people call "photographic lens".

Egretta garzetta


DDD2773 [Egretta garzetta]
h

A member of the Greek Ornithological Society is releasing an Egretta garzetta after it was treated for health problems by the loving hands of the Society's members.

The bird, being inactive for quite some time, is testing its wings to make sure it can trust them before it flies
to freedom again.

Congratulations to the Society and a very warm Thank you for the noble work they are doing!

A garden spider waiting for its victim.

I've always been wondering how it can move around on its web without being stuck!
