The Twins...

I have no idea what kind of birds they are, but both were looking so friendly into my camera, it was fun to shoot a series with them. I'm sure out there are some bird lovers who can tell me the exact name of "the twins" (I call them so). Do they belong maybe to the family of the Heron birds?

Thank you all so much for the nice comments to my yesterday's post :)

Come back tomorrow, see you here!

Big White Heron - A little Photo Story

Big white Heron bird in front of the East Martello Museum looking for food

For some minutes it seems he liked to pose for me...

But then, he decided: what enough is, is enough and just walked away, out of the scene...

...and flew away, pretty low first, some feet only over the road...

and then up in the air, higher and higher.

At least I got some nice shots for my blog!

And I was lucky, he was posing so nice!

Five things to do in Key West - Tour 4

Today we are visiting the wildlife of Key West. Yes, we have one...! Take your camera and follow me:

You will see the big white Heron bird fishing in the mangroves....

You will discover a typically - lazy - cat on Simonton Street....

You will meet the sophisticated cats - some with six toes - in the garden of Ernest Hemingway's house...

Please don't disturb this pelican at Mallory Square....

And you will be wondering why are all over and every where you go so many roosters and his chickens around you. Many, many, many years ago they used them for fights. No more today. Since then they are wild living and took over the island.

An unexpected visitor....

I had an unexpected visitor this morning in my yard! This big white Heron bird must have lost the orientation to the water and the mangroves and landed here in my garden to find food - or just to take a walk?

Heute Morgen staunte ich nicht schlecht ueber meinen ungewoehnlichen Besuch im Garten draussen! Ein grosser weisser "Heron" stolzierte da auf der Wiese herum. Er muss wohl die Orientierung verloren haben, denn Fische im Wasser und die Mangroven waeren etwa 300m mehr links von unserem Garten zu finden.
