Îţi mulţumim! :) După trei zile în care pisica Moo şi-a petrecut timpul singură în casă, la întoarcere, stăpânul are parte de o primire neaşteptată.

Deşi câinii sunt recunoscuţi pentru faptul că sunt loiali, arătându-şi devotamentul faţă de oameni, aceasta pisică ne demonstrează că şi felinele pot fi afectuoase fără să urmărească un anumit interes.

Nu dupa 20 de ani de contabilitate… Daca stau bine si ma gandesc, de cate ori am ajuns sa vorbesc in fata unui grup de oameni, mi-am jurat ca asta n-o sa se mai intample! Traim in iluzia ca facem ce vrem, numai ca Sufletul nostru stie mai bine ce a ales sa experimenteze in aceasta intrupare. Daca avem cu adevarat vreo datorie, aceasta este fata de Sufletul nostru, sa-i facem loc sa se exprime, sa predam controlul, sa invatam Bucuria! In urma cu paisprezece ani, am dat nastere unui copil minunat. In urma cu patru ani o noua etapa a inceput, am invatat in sfarsit sa predau controlul.. incet-incet, nu usor, dar intr-un proces firesc – ca o scoala – in care invat in fiecare clipa ce inseamna bucuria de a trai! De mult nu mai consider c-am “fost”, c-am “facut” sau ca “sunt” intr-un fel sau altul. Comments comments

Selfie science: Taking the perfect snap 5 September 2014Last updated at 19:40 ET By Jonathan Webb Science reporter, BBC News Choosing the right settings will affect how much of a landscape shot is in focus Have you ever wished your holiday snaps looked just a little crisper, or wondered why your nose looks big in a selfie? Two scientists from the University of Surrey are on a mission to help us make the most out of our digital cameras. These devices, with their automated and computerised components, represent the technical pinnacle of photography's 200-year history - and newer, cheaper technology arrives every year. "But it's still remarkably easy to take a bad picture," says Dr Radu Sporea. Speaking at the British Science Festival, he and his colleague Dr Andrew Pye are keen to explain some of the principles that give top-notch photos that touch of class. Perspective: the selfie problem One key step that is often overlooked, Dr Sporea tells me, is to think about where you take the photo from. Continue reading the main story

Mois De La Photo - In the Heart of Intimacy: 30 Photographers Intimacy is one of three central themes of the 2014 Paris Month of Photography. Thirty photographers who focus on intimacy are exhibited at venues throughout the city. Here is a preview, with an introduction by curator Jean-Louis Pinte.

How do you photograph the Moon? | @mjrobbins | Science The Moon. Some say it's made of cheese, conspiracy theorists claim that it's a hologram projected by the New World Order, while so-called scientists believe that it's a giant spherical space rock that magically floats above our heads while we sleep. We'll probably never know the truth, but it looks very pretty and lots of people want to photograph it. Unfortunately, most people are as bad at photographing the moon as they are at taking selfies of their grainy, underexposed, Instagram-filtered faces. There's also a lot of dubious advice online - people insisting you need elaborate setups, carbon fibre tripods, or three days of planning. Catching the Moon The first thing you need is a decent camera of some sort. A camera that allows you to manually set the aperture and shutter speed. The moon is brighter than you think it is, about a tenth the brightness of a street lamp. Cameras, whether digital or film, can't cope nearly as well. To remedy this, there are a few things you can do. Clouds
These Adorable Doggy Portraits Will Make You Swoon Guess what? Another photographer has found a way to indulge her passion for both the camera and dogs. Polish photographer Alicja Zmyslowka combines her twin loves, photography and dogs, in some of the most endearing photographs of pups interacting with nature and each other. From all sorts of breeds from shepherds, retrievers to collies, Zmyslowka shoots various dogs in beautiful natural settings of pastoral scenes.

She has been able to capture totally delightful images of dogs, just like the ones she shot here, ever since she came across that puppy golden retriever 8 years ago. She has devoted her profession to taking dog photos saying, “I would love to share my passion and love for dogs through my photography.
