River guardians
Well, don't really know how good of a guardian are they... but they'll have to do. Since the theme for this week's SMAP is free, I'll place in the spotlight these beauties that stood in Nile's margin,

Kermit's cousins
It had been a while since I saw these cool creatures in nature, without counting with the tiny one in a friend's garden this last weekend. So, why not showcase them in a #monomad post? The creatures in

Photography composition one third at a time
The theme for this week's Qurator's Photo Quest is a fundamental photography rule, and one that changed the way I photograph when I learned it - the Rule of Thirds. Pretty sure that if you never heard

Random shots by random waters
I love being near water; better yet, if I can see birds nearby. And fortunately, shores of rivers and sea are fantastic spots for wildlife watching! So since we have a free theme for this week's SMAP,

City lungs
What a nice theme for this week's @qurator's Photo Quest: Gardens! I'm a huge nature fan, and when I'm visiting a city, the urban parks and the gardens normally work as my getaway when I get tired of all

Good vibrations
While I was driving a friend home yesterday and changing radio stations, I heard a tune that brought be back to my high school years, and one I hadn't heard in ages. It shares its name with the post's

Birdwatching sessions
I try to walk in nature as much as I can, especially when I visit my grandparent's village; and bringing binoculars and camera here is a must, since birdwatching is nomally rewarding: some species are

Nature's healing
Last year, all the area around my grandparent's village was devastated by fires. It wasn't the first time the forest burned, but it was especially bad this time. I hadn't been here since September, and

Well, I should probably have included the skies in the title, because for this week's Qurator's Photo Quest the title is Animals... and we can find them roaming the skies too! But since I usually post

Strange fascinating creatures
As a very special event finishes once again, a #monomad challenge is a perfect way to sum it up. A lizard, portraying an event? Well, for sure: a lizard, a frog, big psittacines, smaller ones, the biggest

For this week, we have a new theme in SMAP contest: bird houses! As in the human kingdom, bird houses come in many shapes and sizes. For sure, when we hear bird houses, we normally think of the usual ones

Not that it is a serious question, but looks can be deceiving; and in this case, the amount of humps matters! As you probably already guessed, we're talking about camels... and dromedaries! I visited Egypt

Time to share a few of our feathered beauties in this week's SMAP: this week, the theme is a bird you see more often. Well, I can fit a ton of birds in this category; I have a small green area near where

I finally visited a birdwatching spot I was wanting to visit for a long time. It's less than an hour drive from where I live, and on the way to said spot the amount of wildlife we can see is just impressive
