Birdwatching Sunday 2008-06-08 08:14:48 Today I photo hunted great tits.While they were hunting for food.It had been lots of pain until I finally managed to capture a proper photo.You see these little fellows flew away right after they had caught a single sunflower seed. After that they headed to squeaking younglings, who are big enough to fly but not that mature to hunt for food. Mallards were swimming in the pond. Suddenly they Read more:Sunday
Walking with flowers (no dinosaurs today) 2008-06-12 13:21:43 The first one is some yellow flower. I captured it in spring and have just found it among numerous photos of mushrooms.A yellow Iris. Thanks to Sandpiper now I know how it is called! Some white flower... Looks very delicate. And some violet flower. Don't know how it is called either. A foalfoot. It's already white! And a dandelion. As bright as the sun! Read more:Walking
Kitties and Bumblebees 2008-06-13 06:21:02 Today I decided to inspect some kitties in the yard and immediately found this guy looking at me.After a while the mama cat came. It is so fun to watch ducks and cats and birds with kids.Kitty is busy.Ginger Cat got inspired with nature and started writing.Bumblebees! I found a huge rose bush with lots of bumblebees! I love bumblebees!Lots of bumblebees buzzzzing!I tried to touch them several
A sparrow and a starling 2008-06-14 13:06:17 To tell the truth I am too lazy today to post many photos. So I'm going to show you only these two fellows I captured. A female house sparrow
(above) and a male starling (below). House sparrow is the most common type of birds here... and I am amazed to see how many different types of sparrows you guys have.
Starlings. Starlings are not as disastrous as my favorite fieldfares. But they are nice
Sun, kitten, fleas! 2008-06-16 12:58:10 A cute happy kitten invaded by the fleas under the morning sun.
New tasty mushrooms 2008-06-18 13:32:55 Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Yummy!
Birch bracket (Piptoporus betulinus) - I made this picture in the evening after a rainy day. However these are not raindrops under the mushroom. This is actually a usual kind of slimy liquid which exudes from polypores when they are young and soft.
Chicken fungus (Laetiporus). I wish I knew these ones are edible. I saw lots of them and loved their
Fungi, dragonflies and... something alive too 2008-07-07 12:02:09 Today I traveled out of town where Moscow ends and Russia begins. Besides seing some country houses with broken roofs yet inhabited, a forgotten children's playground with lots of grass ran wild around it and plenty of rusty cars left to stain in a field I also watched lots and lots nature's wonders.
Millions of dragonflies flew in the sun trying to pick some warmth early in the morning. Read more:something
Phallus impudicus - The Stinkhorn 2008-07-05 12:43:31 This morning began with a crazy cloud hanging under the very bright Sun.
The rest of the day was rainy. However a bit of water from above didn't spoil the fun: I went to the forest and found mushrooms. Yeah, yeah same old story again. Phallus impudicus - you may guess that the name originated from their shape. These mushrooms emerge from 6-10 cm diameter eggs. They can grow as speedy as 5 mm
Just slow down and look around 2008-06-30 11:30:32 On my way home from work I encountered... yes you're right a Mushroom! Or perhaps it encountered me - who knows anyway? Agaricus Bitoporus. These guys love to grow in the streets. In theory they're edible. Practically I would not risk picking up anything that grows in the town. This one is huge btw - the cap diameter is about 20 cm. Unfortunatelly I didn't have anything to place nearby and
Friday night forest walk 2008-06-29 00:46:41 On Friday
night we went to the forest.A huge toad guy was the first who we met on our way. Later on there was another one but he hated photographers and jumped away.The night was freakish. By all means.In the morning on our way home we found... MUSHROOMS! My beloved is going to cook them today.Later this morning we saw different insects having breakfast. Like this fly.And rose chaffers.Rose

I found these guys in a park which used to be a royal manor. Sadly the manor has been rebuilt recently and lost its ruin-like beauty. However, now its a home to several ducks, geese and swans. I'll post

Aluajala goes freelance 2008-08-21 05:58:43 August 29th is my last day in the office. Hooray! I'm quitting my full-time job.

Social networking: friends, money, PROFIT! 2008-08-18 08:17:19 Can't believe but it took me quite a long time to understand.. er.. how blogger works. No kidding!
2 years on LiveJournal platform with its community system made me get used to a small corner where everything is situated on one page.
Blogger is a different thing - it provides just that: blogging place. While hot communication is social networks. And they rule!
First of all social networking

I'm getting married 2008-08-15 04:41:47 And now it seems like I'm commiting a nice thing =)
If you'd told me this in my pre-teens - I would have laughed in your face.I remember a chat with my friends about what we dream our life to be. Instead of wishing to meet a sweet prince, to get a manor full of puppies or to marry a good man and have lots of kids, I dreamed of becoming rich, travelling all around the earth and finally buying a Read more:married
Returning home 2008-08-14 04:27:55 Ah... Haven't wrote here for years. Office work definetelly makes people dummies. Neither have I made photos, nor drew any images. Too bad.When I have just started my blog I thought it to be a photo-blog basically. However, from now on I would like to extend it to a really cockroachy blog..

Tribute to wasps 2008-09-13 02:15:53 My new musical video here. A good sigh that I'm alive and didn't meet a stupid death from hunger LOL).Wasps. Tiny busy buzzing creatures. I loved to touch wasps
and bumblebees when I was a kid. I still do love petting bumblebees, although I am much more careful with wasps now. Anyway they still remain one of my favorite creatures and deserve a tribute like this.
Russian victim mentality 2008-08-27 08:54:02 Since USSR has fallen Russia inherited the image of a fearsome country with all-mighty authoritarian government and workaholic citizens ready to fight invadors from Mars if they dear to threaten Mother Russia. Uh and don't forget bears in earlaped hats walking down the streets of Moscow - they're still here!Practically from early childhood parents teach their kids to fear. Russian
