Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.
I’m a fan of magpies
I saw this magpie last week sitting up in a tree and I marvelled how beautiful it was.
They are around but usually don’t let me get close.
There are exceptions to the rule.
When a Cyclone Has Called
In 1999, a cyclone made landfall in Europe. It was considered the worst windstorm in the area in the 20th century.

Ducktails
Before taking photos I had never noticed that curlicue at the tail of male mallards. It is quite distinct and rather pretty, probably with no other function than impressing the female of the species.
These two were quite obliging in showing off the difference between the genders.
Close-up anyone?
And of course, there is no leaving out the pun.
DUCK!

High Jinx
Sometimes when I can’t think of a photo to use right away I go to various dicitonaries and try to find alternative meanings. In this case, I immediately thought of “high jinx” but I just couldn’t bring myself to post photos of friends when they were up to some. You know, privacy and all that.
Then I came upon the definition of “high Jinx” in the Urban Dictionary and – voilà:
high jinx = The act of simply getting your feline friend completely stoned. from Urban Dictionary
PS: No cats were harmed during the taking of this photo. He is called Louis and participated voluntarily in the shoot. He is alive and well and living in Newcastle, UK.
