Cat walks heel


The neighbour cat, Tigga, often visits my house. He followed me to Odessa's house down the road. He is the only cat I know that behaves like a dog.

Another lizard


This one was disturbed when I visited the storeroom. It is nice to see a growing variety of reptiles in my garden.

This frog lives by the pond but always jumps into the water when I approach. This time I moved slowly. Taken with flash and high digital zoom.

Mourning wasp



Wasp larvae left to die

I am not very fond of wasps, because they are inclined to sting with little provocation. So when this nest fell, leaving several wasps homeless, I thought it was rather funny.

Curtain gone


Now we have vertical blinds.

I found this strange little insect which measures just 4mm long while picking granadillas in the garden. I had trouble photographing this constantly moving object!

New blinds


Computer built to last - the future is the past!

At home


This litte lizard had already lost its tail once before. I took it far away from the cats. Here it is on a log.
