”Min bild-dagbok” ???

I natt gjorde räven ett besök i trädgården, ganska normalt på landet.

Katten åker ju in per omgående kan jag ju säga.

Idag har granar till trädgården köpts in.

Det blev en resa över till Tranås och tänka sig även där höll man på med granar, en stor på torget.

Inne i affären lyckades jag hålla fingrarna i styr, inget köp av skumtomtar.

När man springer i affärer går det åt mat, detta smakade mycket bra ? ? ?

När vi sedan åkte hem framåt slutet av eftermiddagen, gjorde vi det över Bordsjöskogarna bilden tagen strakts nedanför slottet.

”Min bild-dagbok” ???

Har haft tre kameror sk åtelkamera i trädgården under några år, en liten tillbaka blick på detta.

Kö till matskålen har varit vanligt

En viss irritation i form av att båda vill åt maten

Kameran fångar vild-katten Simon när han genar över vår trädgård för att komma till nästa

Här är den ”svarta” katten som vi inte viste var han kom ifrån

Här är Simon i en ovanlig bild för honom, nämligen när det ljusnat.

Här har vi grannens båda katter som sitter på kö för varandra

”Min bild-dagbok”

Detta är en sk panorama bild, en sådan bild blir lite skruvad och titta på i detta perspektivet, det är ett rum på jobbet.

Jag fortsätter att plocka i mitt arkiv av glada amatörbilder.

Lite närgångna bilder på Lena Ph och Tomas di Leva under deras uppträdande på Sjöängen i Eksjö, om det var samma år kommer jag ej ihåg.

En bild på en trolig sommarkatt som drev runt i Skullaryd ett antal år, vi var nära att få in honom som huskatt men någon hade den dåliga smaken att skjuta honom. Han hette Hitler tack vare det svarta under hakan, det blev Herr H.

En bild inför vad som komma skall, snö o kallt.

”Min bild-dagbok”

Det blir inte mycket med fotografering dessa dagar, jobbar man som i mitt fall natt så är dagarna korta så här års resten är bara mörkt även om man som jag föredrar mörkret.

Några sommar minnen, sonen och hans fru var på besök på Mandelmanns gård Djupadal, där blev det några bilder, dock ej tagna av mig.

Från stormarna tidigare i höstas då grannen fick en björk ned blåst på sin tomt, den la sig utmed staketet istället för att krossa det.

På Vikbolandet stötte jag på denna ”polaren” under ett barnkalas, han var dock ej inbjuden.

”Min bild-dagbok”

Det börjar bli tufft för de katter som driver runt, vad vi vet än så länge har vi en katt som inte har någonstans att bo, vad vi vet.

Simon (på bilden ovan) har vi trots försök inte hittat något hem till, han går aldrig in men äter iaf varannan kväll/natt på trappan, då blir han fotad och filmad av en åtelkamera som är utplacerad.

Katten under är Fifi och hor bor hos oss, hon har varit en katt som har drivit omkring en hel del i sitt liv.

Hon bodde tidigare hos en då ensamstående kille i byn, men han tog kontakt med oss genom andra gemensamma vänner i byn och bad oss ta han om henne för han tyckte att han var så lite hemma och så fick det bli. Det är snart ett år senare, mycket jobb, veterinärbesök, sterilesering, chipmärkning, vaxinering. Hon verkar trivas kommer tillbaka, den tidigare ägaren ser henne inte hos sig, inte under det senare halvåret.

I år har det inte dykt upp någon sommarkatt ännu, det har det gjort de flesta åren förut. Det var huvudanledningen till att tre åtel kameror har köpts in. Jag fortsätter och berättar om dessa katter framöver i detta forum, jag kanske byter ut rubriken ”Min bild-dagbok” när jag kommer på någon annan mer enl mig mer överensstämmande rubrik…

”Min bild-dagbok”

Ut och in genom affärer och varuhus är ”nog” inte så konstigt i dessa tider, särskilt när den sk (julafton) för oss är den 9 december när man väljer att gå ihop ett antal familjer.

Långa gångar blir nästan o-(lidligt)

Jag ska inte skylla Lidl för nästa bild

Hon har blommor i sitt hår sjöng A.Glenmark, ser ut att ha fastnat där…

”Min bild-dagbok”

Måste skriva någon rad eller två, även när jag som nu inte har någon bild att bidra med.

Vi har båten i garaget och är då smidig att ha med sig, bara att backa ner i sjön.

Skön semesterbild…
