The first two photos are of a giant tortoise, the next ones of two yellow-bellied sliders (a land and water turtle). I only noticed the spider on the underside of the jaw when I had the enlarged photo on my pc screen.

This is for Black & White Sunday: texture. You will find more photos for this challenge here.

Stellar remains

Thursday’s Special is another “pick a word” challenge.  I’ve managed to distribute the five words (sagacious – non-human – portrayal – remains – stellar) into two photos.  More interpretation of the given words can be found here.

What duck? (2)

I spotted this collection of murals under a bridge and in the close of vicinity of that bridge in Lüneburg, Germany.

I like the two tone colour – blueish-grey and yellow – at the opposite spectrum of the colour wheel.  Because of the underpass and of severe time constraints (I was running with a group) these photos don’t show off the whole beauty of the arrangement.

This is for One Word Picture Challenge with the subject: lizard.  More lizards and the like can be spotted here.

OWPC is hosted by Tourmaline.  I saw this shop (clothes and jewellery) in Wiesbaden, Germany.  That’s the German spelling of tourmaline.

Hous… Lake cleaning

 

The water in our local, man-made lake is filtered with these contraptions called “pelicans”.  They are cleaning the water.  Cleaning them is necessary on a regular basis, even in the cold season.

This is for One Word Sunday. More clean photos can be found here.
