Hanging by a wire
Featuring one of the bird species that flew away for the winter seems a good choice for the free theme in this week's SMAP. Although I must confess, none of these photos are from Portugal, since they were

As natural as your thirst

Ask any portuguese if this title rings a bell, and the vast majority will remember: Luso. Luso is a village in the center north of Portugal, and it's probably one of the best known thermal villages of

Shades of gold
Sunset is one of those moments that everyone likes to enjoy. And in this park, being able to combine the beautiful colours with birdwatching was just bliss. So, since this week's SMAP theme is free...

Scales or feathers or...?
I met a friend earlier today and she had just returned from vacations in central America, with jaw dropping photos of a bunch of cool animals. I do get my fair share of wildlife encounters here, but I'm

Get the flock outta here!
Come to think of it... I should have wrote in the title Get the flock IN here !! Because Flocks is this week's SMAP challenge! And what a nice challenge; after all, who doesn't enjoy a good flock? 😏 (I'll

Beach vibes
Coming to think of it, the time spent at the beach this year was really low so far, especially since I live in a country with a huge coastline and stunning beaches... and I happen to live pretty close

Contrasts
Looking back at my last vacations, contrasts were felt. On my first days, the desolation of the landscape, razed by the fires. All around the village, the fires took a heavy toll: no side was left untouched,

High in the skies
No free theme this time in this week's SMAP, but a fun theme nevertheless: this week is all about the big birds! I can't say the bird I'm featuring is a huge one, but for sure isn't one of the tiny ones

When there's still no darkness

The title might seem strange, but if you check my last post you'll see it makes sense! Although the fires took a heavy toll in one of my favorite places in Portugal, it's good to see some things stayed

When darkness comes
Some years are worse than others; this one was the worse I can remember. I've seen my share of fires near this little village. I've even battled them. But this year, the destruction was insane. I wasn't

Staring at big blue eyes can be almost hypnotic, right? How about if they are surrounded by stunning nature? Yep, even better... even if it's not the kind of eyes you're thinking about! The Blue Eye This

Assortment by the lake
Since the theme for this week's SMAP stays free, off I go with random clicks of some of the species I found in a city park in my last vacations (on a side note, crazy how we're already going in SMAP 232!!)

Mr. T, the duck version
Another nice free theme for this week's SMAP! I normally try to post about "wilder" species, but the domestic duck that prompted me to do this post about this speces had enough of a tough look

The Albanian riviera is a paradise for any beach lover. The long coastline in the south of the country is filled with little gems... although in the peak months of July and August, some of those gems can

Beauties (and some beasts)
I don't know if this means that I need more vacations. Or travels. Or both. But my mind does wonder frequently to my nearest vacation times. So, #monomad challenge rememberance time it is, then! Funny

New species unlocked
One of the goals of my recent vacations was to spot some new bird species, and hopefully being able to capture them on camera as well; and although I didn't snapped not even near the amount of photos I

Food p**n - home made healthy granola
Not my usual kind of post, but if I recall correctly @karinxxl asked me about it a while ago, and since she makes awesome mouth-watering posts about food, feels more than fair to share my go-to recipe

Wrapping up, living the rich life
Oh, I was missing this. Vacations. One full week in a foreign country, wandering around without schedules or fixed plans. As all good things, it's coming to an end. And in my last day, back to Tirana,

I think I can consider myself a glass half full kind of guy. Even in this case, where the glass half full (of a gorgeous red wine) came with the (also gorgeous) moussaka that likely messed up my bowels
