Do you know the feeling when you are doing some very ordinary things, thinking about who knows what, and then suddenly something happens that surprises you to a great extent, delight's you, and leaves you without words!
Today, like every day, I went to a photo hunt, I walked to the canal. The wind blew slowly, making it difficult to create a macro photos, and despite to this difficulty, I managed to make 7-8 photos, I was not completely satisfied with the result, but I could not change anything, just such was the day.
On my way back home I was stopped by a well-known neighbor, hand showed me to wait for him, he is from early childhood remained silent,muted, as the result of meningitis. All communication with him during all these years has been reduced to gestures without one single word. Soon he returned to the street holding a book in his hands. He showed me excellent illustrations, the book was about various animals, I soon realized that it was written in German. Peter my neighbor showed me with a smile that he give it to me as a gift. For months he watched me as I like madman chasing butterflies, photographing insects, etc.
I came home and immediately start to research, the book I got was: Dr. H. G. von Schubert, Naturgelchichte from 1886. The book possesses an abundance of beautiful illustrations of my favorite butterflies and other insects. My search for this book led me to eBay, where the same book can be bought from 150 to 200 eur. A nice gift, not because of its monetary value, but because of the content.
