Critters - Imagine

 
One more time back at the exhibit here in Braunschweig.
 

Oh, excuse me, "enjoy" your meal! 
"Imagine" if we had to eat like that! Did they really have such tiny arms, I wonder...
 
 
 
 Goes for some human (brains) as well...
 
 
...wait for it! S....
  
 
...
 

 Oh, come on, just imagine...
 
 

This is for...


 Eileen! For whom I added these two:

 
In this pic above you also can spot a black swan and some emu-feet! 

In a CAT-bus in Perth once a dragonfly was riding with me - boy, are they huge (she was a real one!).

 Highway to Hell: Spooky Stories from Route 66

 

 Meramec Caverns

In eastern Missouri the Meramec Caverns are situated, a small but respectable tourist attraction that draws around 150,000 visitors annually to marvel at the stalactites and stalagmites. However, some visitors don't just see what they paid for.

They are famous for being home to a diverse collection of ghosts. These include a woman frequently seen in the murky waters of the cave pools and a tall man in a dark suit, who some believe is the ghost of the infamous Jesse James."

Hello Iris,
I love the dinosaurs and your captions. The arms on the one are tiny. The dancing bird is so cute! I have been in a few caverns with my hubby, he loves caving. Your Halloween figures are cute. Henry is a favorite too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critters and post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Hi Eileen, thank you - it´s fun joining you (as long as I have something to join, here in the city!). And a new word learned, caving! Back in Australia we visited some, too, oh that is long ago!

...Iris, spread your wings and fly!

Iris Flavia said...

Much better than singing, Tom! ;-)

I saw a lot of Dragonflies this week but got no pics.
You can't put windows on the property line because of fire regulations. I think you need to be set back by about 3 meters. So thy put big windows at the back an front on the ground floor.

I love the dancing parrot! Ours when we were little used to do that when we played music too, they learn quickly by copying. The "singing" dinosaur looks like the ancestor for alligators.

Hello Iris
A great Saturday Critters post, love the dinosaurs.

Now onto Kohlrabi! You left a comment and question on my 'Weekend Food Ideas' post today (Saturday).

I have replied on the blog (the low carb diabetic) but thought it may be good to also leave the recipe links here:-

Kohlrabi is nice with smothered leeks see here:-

Or how about Töltött Karalábé : Hungarian Stuffed Kohlrabi?

However Ingo cooks it enjoy, it is a lovely lower carb vegetable.

All the best Jan

The dinosaurs are so big and very scary, so glad they aren't walking the earth today.

Love the dinos. They must be old because none of them have feathers. Hope you're having a super weekend. hugs-Erika

Your dinosaur captions were fun.

I love the dinos too. You always have such a fun post to read and it lifted my spirits today!

Dear friend Iris, I love ❤️ your captions. I love the video of guy who sings and plays guitar 🎸 for animals and birds. They really listen 🎶 and appreciate it. The dragonflies are beautiful. Henry is a handsome singer.
Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love to you.

I grew up not very far from Meramec Caverns. I remember the ghost of Jesse James, who was supposed to have used the caverns as a hide-out. I guess the other ghosts have moved in in the decades since then. It’s hard to believe, but at that time bumper stickers were very unusual, and when your car was parked in the Caverns’ parking lot, they would put a sticker on your bumper whic was very distinctive.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh! I saw one in 53 years here in Germany, RedPat! One. In Ingo´s village.
Oh, boy your rules are as strict as here in Germany for building! Though!!! When I studied in the 90´s there were windows as strong as brick! So... does this make sense? But thank you for explaining!

Iris Flavia said...

Cute you had parrots!Yes, clever birds, huh! Glad we have no alligators here. Thankfully Germany is quite boring on that side!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you Jan, ... I commented and have a look at Ingo´s stuffed Peppers! :-)

Lowcarb team member said...

Hello again Iris ... Ingo's stuffed peppers look great (I've also left a comment on the original post).

Hope your day has gone well.

All the best Jan

Iris Flavia said...

I very much agree!

Iris Flavia said...

True, all "naked", LOL and hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, it was a fun exhibit!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, this made me smile!

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, yes, I needed to share that French (or Canadian?) guy! And Henry gives his best! 🥰 Warm hugs and much love to you.

Iris Flavia said...

You sure grew up in a scary area. Interesting about the stickers!!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Jan - I´ll have a look!
