| MONOMAD | A mystical touch
Sometimes there is not much to say when you have in front of you a story told in pictures. Sometimes you also just need to be at peace, to get rid of dark ideas, of thoughts that lead nowhere, and just look for a little bit there in the drawer, cause the best of you is ready to come out and light up all the paths.
Sometimes, sometimes... you don't expect it and the picture is looking for you. It is not you who is looking for that image; it comes to you, so why shouldn't what you long for the most come to you? And this in no way means sitting idly by. You just need to get busy doing what you do best, and also doing good. Life always surprises you.
Today I'd like to participate in the #Monomad Challenge with these photographs.
It's my grandmother's cat. I don't know, for sure, what his name is, because she calls him a thousand different ways. My grandmother is 92 years old and you have to see the care she takes with her pet. She also talks to him a lot, so much... I would be dizzy 😁. Hahaha... joke. Misu, Musu... 🤔 was on the wall watching Chanel, my dog. We were both visiting.
Before that, the cat had tried to enter the house with a sparrow in his mouth 😢. He brings everything he catches to my grandmother, "Oh, always bringing me everything he can find", she said.
The other creature captured in an intimate moment is a Zunzún, of the hummingbird family. Its scientific name is Chlorostilbon ricordii. It is the smallest bird on the planet and we are fortunate that it has its habitat here in our country. So fast this creature is, and so complicated to take pictures of it in full flight. As curious facts it is said that it can reach a speed of up to 114 km/h and fly 20 hours without stopping. You can find it hovering near flowers. Wherever there is a lot of color and sweetness he will be. Is a great pollinator.
In both cases, the images found me and not me them. It was just a matter of realizing that they were waiting for me, finding the camera, shooting and that was it.
About editing... well, the truth is that I only correct a little bit of exposure and contrast. I don't like to manipulate my images that much.
I hope you enjoy them and let me know if they somehow speak to you. What do they say? I'm curious.

Fourth picture is holding my heart..I can not explain how beautiful ( aesthetic) it is looking to me. I am just into it.
Well, I have my father( Lol) who calls my brother with so many different names(hehehe).
Like your grandmother calls cat with different names.
This cat is caring towards your grandmother as she carries everything to home whatever she catches. She needs company of your grandmother.
😁 I know that photo attracts a lot of attention... it's like a sabotage to the others.
Even to us my grandmother tells us many names to end up saying the one that is. 😂 And it's not that she has a bad memory, at her age she's probably more lucid than I am.
About the cat bringing her things, that's what I told her, that he loves her. He is very grateful.
I guess you will be surprised to hear that there are people who haven't seen a hummingbird IRL. Like me.
And although the cats like to bring gifts to the owners, I hope Musu or Misu or whatever his name is hahaha will never catch a Zunzún. It would be a shame 😢
I don't think he could. Because this cat is from Artemisa and the zunzún is from Candelaria. Además son aves tan rápidas...
IRL un día puedes verlo, solo necesitas a BFF que lo tenga 😅🤣 (necesito aprender más cosas de estas 😎)
Cats can be fast too, just think how quick is Yin when he wants to scratch. But yes, good that Musu-Misu lives in Artemisa. 🐈
🙄🤔
wow, la foto de animales no deja de sorprenderme... y la foto del gato y la imuniacion, la expresion y su mirada, se ve imponente...me encantaria mostrarte mi post sobre mis gatos... saludos..
Me alegra que te gusten mis fotos. ¡Bienvenido a mi blog! 😉
I will surely continue stopping by here...
Wonderful photo 🐱👏🏻👏🏻

STOP😁 Am I too talkative?
Definitely... not! 😆
What a beautiful cat! The second picture is beautiful and between the cat and the bird they talk... the cat says, you are far away and the bird says.... I saved myself.
The look of the cat says it all!❤️
Yes, you have seen a story! 😅
And I was mild in describing her hahaha.
Mr. cat is stalking the bird, watching its flapping and its comings and goings.
The bird is quiet, the cat is ready to attack, it looks like a sure prey.
The cat is distracted because a human is taking pictures to him and the bird escapes.
Dark picture simulating Mr. cat's disappointment.
The bird perches triumphantly on a... rope?... no matter, it looks at him with pride and shouts: ***"Chinga tu madre, gato"****.
It looks towards the horizon, with a mysterious pose and in slow motion...
I don't know what I'm smoking, but well hahaha 😂
🤣 I understand that the Zunzún has received lessons from buhito. He is his best pupil because scolding like this .... 😜
That's some heavy stuff you're smoking. I'm hungry, I'm going to the kitchen. 😉
What beautiful images of your grandmother's cat. The one I like the most and brings me some thoughts is the one where she is backlit looking at her territory. Everything in it belongs to him, so hunting whatever comes to his territory is a matter of honor. The fact that he brings your grandmother everything he hunts, reminded me of a story of a woman and her family who in WWII survived on what the cat hunted and brought to them. She said they owed her life. A big hug and thank you for always making us reflect with your photographs.
Ouch, what a bite Yin just gave me on my ankle. This cat of mine 🙄 has serious behavioral problems. What am I going to learn from this? Because I didn't do anything to him.... 😂
Thank you for your nice comment, it's good to know that this work made you reflect and remember.
;)
Hahaha 😂, he bit you because he loves you, it's his way of telling you that you belong to him.
Hay amores que matan 🤣
Those are beautiful animals and the pictures speaks by themselves
Thank you, both are mystical creatures, or so I see it. 😉
All fantastic
😅 thank you!
The picture are really great , but that one of the zunzun is Stunning, I never see that before 😳😂
I hadn't seen this either 😹 .... Feeling it yes. You've never had a bird shit on you?
Beautiful silhouettes and beautiful cat as a model. Greetings and excellent photos.
Did you notice that the hummingbird is peeing? O ambas cosas... No sé. 😂
Hello, here's a thought, what are the chances that a small bird that only lives in one place in the world coincides and is photographed by a photographer capable of appreciating the extraordinary of that moment, who also uploads these photos to Hive, and that someone from Spain is seeing them at this time? This is just a reflection on the text. The fact that you have put together a hummingbird and a cat is another small miracle. A hug
Let me think... the chances are one in millions. 🤔
And of course there are several messages (not so visible here) ... maybe it's a puzzle, and these are some pieces. It takes skilled people to put it together.
😁
🧩🧩🧩 🤔 ¡💡! It is certain that pieces are missing, and I am sure it will be a pleasure to look for them 😃🔎 among verses, prose and images. A hug
...a ver, que fotos de colibrí he visto unas cuantas teniendo a Abelito tan cerquita, pero...un zuzún haciendo pipi o..no sé, quizás haciendo del 2 después de comer demasiada sopa 😅? Eso si no lo había visto nunca! 😆 te pasas!
Me encartaron las fotos, sobre todo la primera a color con la luz de recorte en el michi!
let's see, I've seen a few photos of hummingbirds with abelito so close, but...a zuzun peeing or...I don't know, maybe doing the 2 after eating too much soup 😅? I've never seen that before! hahahahaha
I loved the pictures, especially the first one in color with the cropping light on the michi!
Janetitica... 😉😅 No soy yo, es el Universo.
La foto del recorte de luz me encanta igual. Gracias, mi ángel. Yo soñé que te había respondido. 🤭😂
🤣 ay ajjajajaja bueno...ahora si lo hiciste 😂 besititicos 😂
Meow... 😅
