Uninvited guest

When I relocated last winter, one morning I had a wonderful surprise…

incredible, right? he was just in front of our door, in our wood nearby the house! we could see him from our windows… and we aren’t living exactly in the mountains, so that was really surprising. Unfortunately now we have made a fence all around the house perimeter so it’s unlikely we will ever see such beautiful animals so close…

The scary picture!

Today’s picture is a bit scary… it is a photo from my trip to Dozza, you can find my blog entry here. The fortress once was a prison, and there are several scary rooms with instruments of torture. I don’t like particularly this kind of stuff, however from the historical point of view can be interesting. If you look carefully on the walls, you can even see some carved texts or numbers on them, made by the prisoners.

Beside that, remember that the region around is well-known for good wines and food, so don’t be too much impressed by the photo!

Curious church entrance

Took this picture while I was on a short trip in the natural park of “Cinque Terre”, in the italian region of Liguria. It is at the same time quite fun and bizarre, because of the skull in center of the icon above what is a church entrance! yes exactly, that is a closeup of a church entrance in a small town (I forgot the name, not sure if was Monterosso or Manarola).

I don’t know latin well but from what I can understand the text says something like “guild of prayers and deaths”! very scary…!

Dominant dwarf rabbit

The photo above shows again my 2 dwarf rabbits, when they were very young. You can clearly see one on top of the other, in a typical dominant position! we thought that getting 2 rabbit was better instead of only 1, but was a mistake, because the dominant one progressively started to attack the other, until we were forced to separate them.

Anyway the picture I took is quite funny in my opinion, so that’s why I posted it here

A furry ball

The picture above is of my dwarf rabbit, lionhead race, that I had some years ago. Unfortunately now she passed to better life, but I remember all the great moments I spent with her. She always had funny poses, like the one pictured above, and in general was lovely and cute. Still,I wouldn’t recommend you get a dwarf rabbit (or more) unless you live in a house with a garden, or you can dedicate one entire room to them.

Why? because they like to eat everything they can find! they like to crunch wood (imagine all the doors,cabinets, desks, etc) but also the power cables (surprisingly they don’t remain killed but they can cut the power off of your house!).

So as you can see, isn’t an easy task to have one of those furry creatures around the house. Still if you live in a good place, they could be a pleasant addition to your pet friends
