hello y'all, long time no see!
i'm always a bit lazy when it comes to uploading pictures, since it takes so long to edit them. additionally, my internet is not the fastest, that's another reason why i postpone my entries, haha.
but, anyway, here is what i was up to the last month.
my parents visited me a few weeks ago and we did all kind of stuff, even though the weather wasn't that nice. one thing that stays in my mind for the future was our visit to the opel zoo in kronberg/königstein. it's a wonderful animal park in the taunus mountains showing all kinds of animals like mooses, ice foxes, crocodiles, owls, elephants, meerkats and giraffes. i'd visit this park anytime again, it was so beautiful.
all these bright colours are gone now. the weather forecast predicted snow for the weekend.
let me introduce 'le dromedary'. side profile. he posed for me in the most delicate ways. what a beauty, isn't he?
laughing.
aristocratic.
curious.
and in full beauty! by the way, this is not the dromedary, i introduced you to. this one was called 'le hairy dromedary' by me.
these eyes belong to another dromedary!
a dromedary head on a fountain.
a freezing trumpeter hornbill. the trumpeter horn is really amazing. nature does fantastic stuff.
the founder georg von opel with an elephant.
more elephants, big and small. i loved the statues in the park!
and a real one. see how muddy it was! i'm glad they didn't slip. the zoo is working on reconstructing the elephant home, it's not in the best condition.
persian fallow deer. they were such beauties!
another introduction: 'la snowy owl'. side profile.
looking alarmed.
or dis-enchanted. did you know that the male owls are pure white? somehow i always thought that the women must be white, but apparently they're not.
the evil colour! i love such intense colours on a grey day.
my most favourite animals in the world ( besides the trillion other animals i love ) is the meerkat! because they're so cute when they relax in the sun, or are caring for each other. they're also such curious things! seriously, my love for them is so strong my parents already bought me a little meerkat figurine which has found the best place in my wall unit.
i could watch them for hours. my parents always need to drag me away from them.
lowland nyalas! they had such kind eyes and beautiful fur.
chinese muntjacs. more prettyness!
haha, one of them was continually eating a carrot. can you see it?
view onto kronberg and kronberg castle.
a little further away.
last introduction: 'les giraffes'. i've never seen so many giraffes living together before. they're so elegant and caring animals. true family guys! they caress each other with so much intimacy, it was a joy to watch. this guy above was the biggest one - and also the loveliest. he had a very close connection with the youngest child. i didn't know they could be so loving!
coming closer to one of the females.
i suppose she was the mother of the small giraffe. can you see the look in their eyes? it made me fall deeply in love with giraffes. i can't express my feelings when i saw these animals. it was just... pure bliss! pure wonderment about how sensitiv they were! they were the last animals we've seen, and we went home swearing we'd return soon.
next one: small visit at home + a few fasanerie pics.
