Day in Pictures

Alright :) This afternoon, I made a bit of a cycle tour (20 km) along the sea. There are two perfectly tarred roads on both sides of the dike that extend to the whole coastline. They are inaccessible for cars, so it's a perfect place to cycle without any obstacles like injections, sharp turns or the like... and the view is quite pleasant, too. :)

Here are some pictures that I took over the course of the day, beginning with my cats having midday break and ending with the sunset. :)


The chubby cat enjoying the first sunrays on a carpet. :D









The lissom cat doing the same. :P In contrast to the chubby cat, this one always keeps an eye on the environs (in this case on the birds on the terrace)




Alert! :D




Salt meadows at the sea.





Ducks. :D




Wildlife sanctuary at the sea - does anybody know what those cane-like plants are? Reed? Cane brake?






The plant whose name I don't know, in detail.






I like this one. :)




Geese and ducks in their habitat.
This is quite a heady place as far as nature and animals are concerned, isn't it? :P




A wonderful, almost mystic sunset taken from our backyard. It shows some trees from the adjacent village.




Another picture of the sunset, this time with a rotating windmill.

Well Lunario you have not lost your touch - the pics are wonderful.
The plant you asked about is a bit of a puzzle to me - the seed has a similarity to what we call a wild oat but the foliage dose not match.Martin would be a likely person to tell you.
You cat pics are beautiful they are certainly in great health.
The sunset pics are amazing - almost looks like fire.
Your pics show you are very talented behind a lense and they give me much pleasure.
Well done - regards Stef.

I'm useless n plants and birds, so there's no help coming from me I'm afraid. Still, amazing pics. And no snow! Are you into spring already??

Love
Daniel

Magic pictures - although you know that I am not really a cat person - but they are cute. (OK?)

The pics of the water and the wildlife are superb and what a fantastically rewarding place to bike ride!

That final pic of the wind generator against that vivid sunset would win prizes, I'm quite sure.

Thank you - and very well done (again!).
