Here are mine:

They've teamed up and stole approximately 85% of the bed.
Both cats taking advantage of the amount of blankets around the human. Simba is at my feet, forcing ny legs to take up an odd and slightly painful angle as Philly has squished his back on my thigh and his legs push against my belly. Picture slightly edited to make the cats more visible and show a better angle.

Cutting my hair really was necessary...
Pile of hair, the strands a couple of centimetres in length.

He may be many things but evil is not among them. Just causes the same amount of chaos as he would if he were.
One-eyed orange tabby cat on a very soft blanket. He's looking at the camera.

The incoming car ruins this shot a bit but here's some atmospheric fog from this morning:
Foggy street in the morning mist. The regular street lamps spread their light in a yellowish cone. The road is empty but blueish tinted headlights are visible around a corner. On the right side there's only a metal fence but on the left the road borders on a forest, there's a single building in the left lower corner continued by a occasionally delapidated stone wall. Behind them are trees which now appear dark but are actually displaying the most beautiful autumnal colours. The image is somewhat divided by the nearby hill into the part described above ranging from the top left corner doen to the lower right. Above this scene is the bright blue morning sky, occasionally disrupted by silhouetted tree tops.

Unfortunately I was too slow for a video.
Thought he spotted an insect at first.

But here's more Simba shenanigans happening directly afterwards:

Foot loaf.

Beautiful moonrise today.
Edited the second picture a bit (reducing saturation as the moon appeared way too yellow and couldn't play around with the settings while photographing due to having to keep Philly from climbing out of the window).
Moon appearing over a forest covered hill, all trees in autumnal colours and the sky still relatively bright blue. The moon itself is not really visible as it was too bright for the camera to be picked up properly. Full round shape just made it over the hills. Some treetops and branches cover the edges but they're almost completely hidden in darkness. Only a small halo around the moon and the moon itself are well lit.

Sneaky friend acting like a leaf...
Triangular shaped brown moth, probably a feathered thorn moth (Colotois pennaria), looking pretty much like a leaf. Including "veins" on the wings as well as wingspots looking like small holes. Probably a female as the antennae are short and not feathered although they are hidden so you only see the first couple of segments.

False alarm.
Close-up of a one-eyed orange tabby cat's face. He's standing on my lap and by the time I wrote this laid down purring.

What about this one?
Male model wearing a suit full of the Testbild, the very colourful standard test image in various shades of grey with patches of greens, blues, orange, yellow, purple, ... you get it by now. Colours.

I wonder how much of this cheese I can eat in one go.
Bit more than 500g (534 if you want to be precise) of hard cheese covered in herbs and flowers. Top view. Side view. It's about as high as the span of my hand.

Sleeping in the bed I bought for Dais and she hardly used it (preferring her old one).
Even if it lasted just a moment, I'm happy to see it in use.
Philly lying in a bed for dogs, but he's also a big lad so it's not too big for him. Picture taken at an angle and zoomed in.

5 minutes later:
Both are sleeping or at least getting ready to fall asleep.

His Lordship is having a hard day.
Snoozing on a very soft blanket is hard work after all.

So tiny!
My hand next to it. It's about the length of my little finger.

I knew the biodiversity here is great but... wow!
Crested newt, not exactly sure which species as it's probably a juvenile. It has a dark body with glittering specks and a warty texture as well as a single yellow stripe on the back. Close-up of the head. Its eyes are golden.

Meet Philly! Pictures are by his carer or our vet and I didn't ask for permission to share them.
Big male cat with grey tabby and white fur, short-haired. He lies curled up on a blanket. Another picture of him on a blanket, he has a really sad expression on his face (and this was the moment I fell in love with him and wanted to give him a home). Yet another picture of him on a blanket, this time he's sleeping with a content expression on his cute face.

The boy hissed twice at the vet but to be fair, he did get an injection.
He was very well behaved otherwise, at the vet as well as at my mum's home (trying to greet one of hers who wasn't particularly happy about him) and now on the train
Orange tabby cat sitting on my lap in a train. He is a bit nervous but it's only his third train ride and he's doing well.

Some of my favourite picture compositions:
Colourful leaves. Sun over fields. Macros shots. Black and White photographs.
A row of very colourful trees under a greyish blue sky. Particularly standing out are trees in intense orange as well as yellow shrubs in the foreground. Yellow sunrise on the horizon, above a dense layer of white-blue clouds, below a corn field and one single bush carrying red berries. Fruits/seeds of a spindle bush (called Pfaffenkapperl - little pastor's cap - here) in macro view. The seed capsule is a bright pink, the seeds themselves are equally bright orange with a slightly shrivelled texture. On one of the pink, petal-like structures is a tiny black beetle. Black and white photo of a slender tabby cat sitting with the back turned to the camera but looking over her shoulder at it.

Well, that's it. Going to delete Duolingo now as it has become unusable recently.
Just stayed for a little while longer to reach this milestone.
1000 day streak on Duolingo.

I do not want to alarm anyone but the train station is bugged...
