Wide


This week's theme was Wide and knew exactly where I'll take the pictures. From my archives, of course...not so much wide views to see here in the grey winter weather.
The real feeling of "wide" I got in Czechia (2004-09) , near Uherské Hradiště in Moravia.
Moravian Slovakia is a cultural region in the eastern part of present-day Czech Republik.
Still when I see those pictures, I get the same feeling... Click them larger and you understand what I mean.

Snowclouds on their way



Lumepilved silmapiiril




That was may-be the last autumn walk with Panda this year...
-.-
Vöib-olla oli see viimane jalutuskäik koos Pandaga sel sygisel...

Odd Shot Monday - The Lazy Cat


Our cat Panda has a bad habit to bring mice in the house mostly at night - to play with them. This is not only a nightmare for the mice, it's for us too. Can you imagine: you are sleeping deeply and suddenly you wake up because in the kitchen is something weird going on. Bangs, tweets, scratching and then some silence. And then the noice again. And again. *

Panda is not very bloodthirsty and active, she just want to play a little...and the mice use cat's lazyness to hide.

This time we came up and I took my camera. The mouse was just climbing behind the heating element. And the cat was not looking at the hiding mouse but...who knows where and what!

Lazy cat!

"Take it easy", Panda said, "I have all the night here to play"...

But Panda did not know that the next wall had places where she can't go but the mouse can. So we had the perspective to get a mouse hiding and living in the kitchen...

I took the grill-grate and tried to frighten the mouse out. But it did not come. So I took the grate out of the ditch between the wall and the heating element - and there it was: between two grates, voluntary ready to grill.
We opened the window and opened the device - the mouse falled on the lawn. The cat jumped after.

Soon the cat was back - heading to our bedroom, the mouse in her mouth. That time the mouse was dead.


This week Odd Shot's Monday link is here: http://katneyskaboodle.blogspot.com/2008/11/odd-shots-monday-looking-through.html

*vabatölge eesti keelde:

Meie Pandal on halb harjumus tuua öösel kööki hiiri ja mängida nendega. See pole mitte öudusunenägu hiirtele, vaid ka meile. Kujuta siis ette: sa magad sygavalt ja ärkad äkki yles, sest köögis on lahti midagi veidrat...no kurat teab mis! Kolin, piiksumine, kraapimine ja siis täielik vaikus. Ja sama uuesti. Ja uuesti.

Panda ei ole väga verejanuline ja aktiivne kass. Ta lihtsalt tahab pisut mängida. Muidugi hiired kasutavad tema pikatoimelisust, et peitu pugeda.

Sel korral me tulime voodist välja ja ma vötsin oma kaamera. Hiir ronis just sel hetkel elektriradiaatori taha. Ja kass ei vaadanud peitupugevat hiirt...vaid ei tea kuhu ja ei tea mida. Laisk kass!

"Vöta vabalt", ytles Panda, "mul on terve öö ees, et siin mängida..."

Kuid Panda ei teadnud, et teises seinas oli koht, kuhu hiir sai peitu pugeda, aga tema hiire järele mitte. Niisiis ootas meid ees tulevik, et me saame majja hiire.

Haarasin esimese ettejuhtava asja - grilliresti - ja yritasin hiirt välja peletada. Hiir ei tulnud. Löpuks vötsin grilliresti seina ja radika vahelt välja...ja seal ta oli! Kahe resti vahel peidus, vabatahtlikult valmis grillimiseks.

Avasime akna ja grilliresti, hiir kukkus murule. Kass hyppas järele. Varsti oli kass tagasi ja suundus, hiir hambus meie magamistoa poole. Seekord oli hiir surnud.

Today's Flowers

The days are short and the shadows are long here in Scandinavia...
Here are some flowers I found today near my summer cottage. Still blooming after the -5 C temperature at night... Here is my pea plant. I picked even some peas which were so big that they were eatable. The 2nd of November, can you imagine!

See what others are picked up: http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/

Macro Monday!




As I was late for Odd Shot's Monday, I investigated carefully CC and Today's Flower memes. And I found Macro Monday. Perfect to me today.

What is that?


It's just a big, weird mushroom, picked ca 10 miles from Stockholm, Sweden, Scandinavia :).
They say, it's not eatable, but I know people who use to dry it - the powder gives special taste for some meat dishes.


Check out more macro shots at Lisa's chaos.

Sunday Post - Camera Critters & Today's Flower

This is our 1st Camera critter. Misty Dawn started the meme and explains the rules here.


Here's our memories of the summer:

Hiding Lizard by R...


and Resting "Chopper" by J

The lizard climbed quite high up on the tree, so I had no need to bend down to shoot. The dragonfly was resting on our summer cottage chimney, it's zoomed picture...
Click for others participating in Camera Critters this week.


Today's Flower comes stright from our's yesterday´s trip to Brevik - This is my contribution - also the first one - to Today's Flowers hosted by Santilli.




It's very common this warm autumn in our Stockholm's county to see berries and flowers the same time...
