F is for Flecki


In September 2012, I asked you how I should call this cute fellow. Since he has several spots on his fur, I started to call him Flecki (Fleck = spot). For me, it's a perfect F for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday.


Flecki didn't show up much in 2013, but since January 2014 he comes by nearly every day. He even loves to stay over for a nap, sleeping deeply with a slightly opened mouth. Please note the rolled tongue.


He completely relaxes while taking a nap.


At times he stretches out.


What a sweet paw.


Here he is playing with me on the terrace.


Flecki in the kitchen -- he knows how to get his cat treats.


Sleeping soundly once again.


At times he lies like that while looking around. I guess he enjoys the different perspective.


Flecki is such a good natured fellow. He doesn't mind cuddling with neon-colored alien friends.


One tired cat -- he surely loves to come over for a nap.


I really like his striped tail.


I am sure this cat knows how to look extra cute.


Would you believe that this cat is not my cat? In fact, I am still not sure where he lives.


A hearty yawn.


Time to cuddle.


Time to play. I kept the toy from my late cat Muschi. It's great that it's used once again.


Enjoying the terrace.


Looking out of the terrace door.


Sleeping on the terrace bench.


Looking out of the window.


There is so much to see. (And, fortunately, Flecki doesn't mind me putting the camera in his face all the time.)


That's how he can comfortably look out of the window -- sitting on the ironing board.


I can't help taking pictures while Flecki is sleeping.


My personal Easter bunny.


Another hearty yawn.


Enjoying the tulips in the garden.


Lying in the kitchen and waiting for a cat treat.


I presume I have taken more photos of Flecki in the last months than his owners did during his lifetime (he must be around 3 years old). Never mind -- he is just too cute.

Da Vinci Roses


I really love the Leonardo da Vinci rose bush in the garden.



When it fully blooms, summer has come.


That pink color, that splendor.


Such an abundance of beauty.


Who else dreams of being a fairy, so that you can sit on these flower petals, enjoying the sunny day?


I guess Leonardo would have been pleased that this beautiful rose was given his name. And I hope that Jenny from Alphabe-Thursday is also pleased to have this D post for her current alphabet round.

Butterflies & Fish Scales


I like this quote by Charles Dickens -- maybe you will now think of it the next time you see a butterfly!


By the way, I used this close-up of fish scales for the background of the digital image above.

Alien Cherry


An odd alien cherry hid among the first cherries of the season. What can I say? It tasted just as delicious as the others. Hah!



Well, that cherry is surely worthy of a C post for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday.
