WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the swan wanted some in-flight entertainment... You know: movie  (Pearl Harbor?), snack, attacking boats...
One of my rare snapshots.

Are you looking at me?

I found my way to the botanical garden this afternoon. Nice place indeed!!! Anyway, this little guy was looking at me. I stared back. He did not move. I went away. Guess he won.

Watching people go by

Daddy looks half asleep
This is NOT a selfie!!!

Not a shy beggar!!!

Still at the Orangerie park... A hungry bird, a cotton candy lady. The bird seems to be a regular customer, as the lady was feeding him no candy, but mince meat. Which is not usually used  in cotton candy (oh well, what do I know... Different countries, different customs. Lol)

Ecureuil

I am used to big grey squirrels, the not-shy-at-all kind. But what we have here is very different, smaller, brown, shy and much faster. A lucky and rare shot.

The baby

You might remember one of my first posts about these 2 storks, mum feeding the baby. Well, baby got big!

Some very photogenic swans I spotted this morning, enjoying the too rare sunshine. They were kind enough to pose for me.

Not just a big puss! Ce n'est pas un gros minou!

No no, it is actually actually a European lynx, a good-sized one. Mighty nice of to posing for me! Nice pussycat!

Ceci est un lynx de nos montagnes, pas vraiment le minou qu'on caresse dans la rue...

The eagle is about to land.... L'aigle va aterrir...

Did a bit of ''painting'' today, with my laptop. There is a ever so tiny zoo at the Orangerie park.

Un peu de ''peinture'', avec mon ordinateur. Dans le zoo rikiki du parc de l'Orangerie.

Jack

I saw quite a few elephants in my lifetime, last on a highway in New Delhi, but this is a first for me! He is HIP!

J'ai vu bien des elephants dans ma vie, le dernier sur une autoroute a New Delhi, mais celui-ci sort du lot!

Look me in the eye...

I'm watching you, with that big black thing pointing at me!

L'intrus - The intruder

Un intrus!!! Vite, chassons ce rat musque!  Scene ordinaire du centre ville: 2 rats musques, au milieu de la gent ailee.

An intruder! Let's chase that muskrat away! And the second one too It is our city centre!

La cigogne - Stork

The stork is the symbol of Alsace.  Well, we all came to this life carried by Air Cigogne, after all! No cabbages involved!

LE symbole de l'Alsace par excellence, avec une bretzel et un plat de choucroute!
