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

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

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

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

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

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

The more the merrier, but in this case, two is the winning number: the theme for this week's SMAP is Two Birds! So, only two it is. Egyptian goose - Alopochen aegyptiaca Now, I don't usually focus on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It took almost all of January, but finally: my first #featheredfriends post of the year! And also the first one back from really cool holidays; enjoyed them so much that since this week's SMAP has a free

One of the great things about my current vacations (that unfortunately are quickly ending) is being able to combine culture and ancient civilizations, with some sightseeing... and to end in style, some

Serene days travelling through the only river that flows from south to north. And the perfect time to relax. My first cruise was definitely a great experience. The great conditions of the boat, both confort
