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

From the land to the sea
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

Has it been that long?
Hard to believe this much time has passed, and yet... The notification popped a couple days ago, but only now I was able to drag my ass into acknowledging the moment. Eight years is a lot of time (not

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

Home sweet home
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

Humping matters
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

Landscapes
From arid dunes to lush green mountains, landscapes are one of my favourite photo subjects. And so it happens they're also the theme for this week's Qurator's Photo Quest! I try to join in on the fun every

Little hunters
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

Itsy not-so-bitsy spiders
A few weeks ago I met with some friends to explore a natural area not far from home. And Mother Nature decided to showcase us new species even before we got there! As my friend arrived and open the car

Ancient golden hours
Given the storms passing by my country, the golden hour where I live has lost some of its charm in these last weeks; so this is a great time to remember some of the snapshots from my last vacations, where

It's the little things
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

Fragments of the past
Egypt is a country of different realities: for a country that is mostly desert, there are also places bubbling with life. In the capital Cairo, the same is true for the old and the new, blending almost

Hopping and cruising around
Vacations are time to relax, but that doesn't mean you have to stay in the same place all the time. Hopping around while travelling might be more tiring to the body, but definitely more relaxing to the

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I'm not much of the end of year deep thinker/planner, but do take a few minutes to reflect on the old year and what to focus on the new one... but I'm starting 2026 the same way I've finished

Crested beauties
I was missing doing my bird posts! So given a little of free time and a relaxed free theme in this week's SMAP, time to share some clicks of a species I'm very fond of. Great crested grebe - Podiceps cristatus
