I didn’t find my photo about many swans and zillion ducks but I can show great tits and the silhouette of a wren on the grapevine…
The tits in the snow (chickadee is a long and funny but not funny enough word, you know) happened a few days ago. We often has snow even in March here but it was still February.
I so could talk about other things but nature and photos and I am derailed unless someone mentions food! Or art and I am in the mood…
Maybe later. Still no politics, that’s not my thing. I am not into religion either though may talk about it a bit but I have my own things, I don’t follow anything. My style of keto and attitude… Oh I am sure I talked too much about that in this forum already.
I learned a lot about other countries here. As we are pretty different, I didn’t even know some food words… Sometimes we have a perfect Hungarian word for something I can’t even say properly in English But it’s more frequent that there are many English words for the single Hungarian one… Or we cut animals differently.
So, other topics. Do you have a war very nearby? We have. Ukraine is our neighbour and we have lots of refugees now.
I hate war WAY, way more than the average person as I never would make war (and I am not that naive, I understand there are reasons and interest but STILL. it’s such a horrible waste. life would be bad enough without wars).
We are still safe here, just affected but I feel for poor folks there (and all the Russians who hate it too). And it’s so wrong. All wars are bad but some are more “understandable” than others. At least from one side… My people rebelled a lot against supressors. Is it not a proper word? But you understand it, right?
We had peace nearby for decades (Yugoslavia was our neighbour too and when it broke apart, that was violent). And now there is war again. Sigh.
Hungary itself had no such violence since 1956. 1989 went quite smoothly. And the world changed. We started to get Western stuff in the shops and banana… Before we had super green bananas once a year and people waited in a row for ages for it… I disliked banana as a kid as it was bad and not yellow. (I LOVE banana now and I doubt carnivore can ever change it. I just rarely eat it unlike when I was a newbie ketoer. Just as my love towards pork never diminished during my 8 vegetarian years and the following almost vegetarian decades. My tastes rarely change though carnivore actually did the trick, I don’t like most veggies now. I probably feel the taste the same, I just don’t enjoy it.)
By the way, swans and geese… There is a lake not super far away but not exactly here. We go by car and attend the festival when the geese are there, thousands of them! It was cold but great last year, they made some wonderful noise Our pond has many swans, zillion ducks, egrets, seagulls… Sometimes we see herons as well. I saw coots last year… These birds are always nearby, egrets are few and shy, I don’t always see them so I am very glad when I see one or two, they are beutiful. We get the smaller kind. (Where did I put my photos? Sigh. I actually organize them but a bit chaotically and I leave stuff on the many CF cards for long.)
