..."Trojan Horses" ..... + last news

JoAnn joins Tuesdays: MY WORLD ,<>wednesday: ABC WEDNESDAY - and Fridays: SKYWATCH Friday

***********************************************************************************

.."About a HORSE"..named... ,

"TROJAN... What? " Trojan Horses? ..
Better be carefull.
SKY WATCHING Horse? " Horses are Fantastic & nobel animals, I love them"... The above "photo " is how I really feel about Horses....

"No "JoAnn-D-Eyes" is not joking here, "JOKE " really was my name in my childhood that maybe is a "Joke" , In English it has another meaning..... ...




My ideal Horses.... A true happened story...

When I was a child, I used to ride (and brush) Horses after schooltime -instead of making my home work- Me and my female little schoolfriend went from The Hague/Monster of course by horse, to Kijkduin or to the Kurhauss at Scheveningen beach. That were great times! In all kinds of weather we enjoyed being with the horses....We loved to feed them with carrots or other foods.

Also a true happened story.....

BAD TROJAN " Horses" on internet, what do they do and why?

A TROJAN "HORSE" is knowing also as an BAD VIRUS internet infection....This TROJAN HORSE infected all my PC's in a home network ( never connect PC's this way!) This Virus is disable your PC-System , I have no working PC's anymore , they are all at the computer-doctor for a repair, when possible but there is a small change, maybe....! Thats still the question...... untll that is sure I cannot upload often photo's on my blog. Sorry.

I am not happy at all with this kind of Trojan Horses. My MC AFEE Firewall was not strong enough, also my PC C-cleaner didn't do its work.

Since March 19Th until Nowaday.. April 6th : a TROJAN HORSES virus infected my PC's, problem is still NOT solved and will take another period of time...

YourMilk, MyCow Yippee- MyMilk ,YourYakult? -Yak!


"Y-Y-Y-Y"

" YAKULT?" YAK! Yeeeh!

Wha-do-you-mean?


YAKULT???.... That is.....

That sounds to me as a childsong : Ya-Ya- Ya- kult, yeh yhe yeh, heep heep hurray...But nothing of that YAKULT is a healtdrink wth the PRObiotica bacterie , good for the bowels "they say" , WHO? the developers of this idiote & expensive drink.... But when you do believe in something like this YAKULT you must pay for it, I tried YAKULT once, but NEH not for me I do not like it and it doesn't dome any good, at least NOT better than regular food ..instead I eat/drink Yoghurt or FROMAGE BLANC ...
*

What-about-YOU .... MR-COW??

Do you believe in that modern Pro-biotica nonsens?



MOOOWW !! YAKULT? Y OU should drink my COW- MILK!



I don't even dare to say anywthing about your NATURE milk,

Your milk made me grow when I was little,

I drunk Your milk on school,

I ate cheese made from Your milk,

FOOD from YOU,

from YOU mr Cow,

That I Prefere!


My answer: Yippee! I prefere MILK!

What about you? What do you like the most?

Hurray! IOS' is celebrating birthday :9 years

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T_O_O_O_O ME!!!
Today we are celebrating IOS's 9th Birthday...

Above 2 pictures are made Yesterday in NAARDEN, the area where we live.
I made them By my Mobile phone, as some of you blogreaders already noticed I am still NOT able to make photo's by my Regular SLR camera, because of my shoulder surgery So excuse me for that . And its esspecially more difficult to make a photo-shot, balancing with the dog and my mobile phone( Remember I've just 1 arm to use!) haha! This while I was walking with my 30 Kg (weight) SWISS_BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG! But she has always been fauithfull to us, always sweet and always good mooded and happy.
Thank you for staying with us IOS!I hope that this dog will stay much longer with us, Why??? because this type of BREED-dogs are not getting very old, Thats what the farmer told us "that this type of dogs would maybe reach the age of 8 years " , and she's already 9 today!!!!

HAPPY WEEKEND for ALL of you:)

Gone and back home....

Gone and back home...
*
There you are again!!! Yesterday, the swaen flew away...thanks that he landed again.....
Heeee daar zijn de zwanen weer! Gisteren was ' zwaan" weggevogen en vandaag geland...
*

*
And..... Home sweet home, the swaen landed on the field in front of my house , normally a couple of cows are grazing here, but they are indoors now, because of the coming colder days....But the swaens seemed not to care about the cold at all.... Weer geland op het grasveld voor mijn huis, waar normaal de koeien staan te grazen. Momenteel staan ze op stal vanege de naderende koude dagen....Maar de zwanen schijnen daar geen last van te hebben...
*
*
Yes !! I changed the header again, in a 'warmer' colour.... Do you like it? I a also very curious...: Whats the weather, how cold /warm is it NOW in your countrie, where you live??
Ja het klopt! Ik heb de header weer verandert in een wat 'warmere 'kleur, wat vind je ervan? Hoe warm of koud is het NU, waar jij/u woont?

Not perfect "Where 2 go"

Not perfect... but a 'strange' movement-photo:
"Where did birdy go?"
*
In front of my house there is much water, yesterday the sun was shining and the goose were swimming, so "why not make some pics?" However.... This big (swaen/goos?) waterbird just flew away, in front of me! So therefore I was not yet ready with my camera with tele ,(Nikon T-lens 70-400 mm) for this hugh movement, but I liked the 'strange' result what about you?
*
Deze grote gans vloog vlak voor mij ineens het water uit, de lucht in, te snel zodat ik daarom mijn camera+ tele nog niet had ingesteld op beweging (Nikon T-lens 70-400 mm), Het effect vond ik wel grappig, en wat vindt jij ervan?
*
*
Everyone is doing very well with uploading photo's every day, I must say that the weekends are a kind of 'holy' for 'us, because otherwise I spend too much time behind the computer, so instead I went out this weekend with my camera , for fresh photo's which I show YOU this 1 photo only today But:
*
Watch it!
I show MORE PHOTO'S THE COMING WEEK OF MY AREA in Holland, from where I live...Have a good monday, een prettige maandag gewenst!

Thank you Sinterklaas!..

I was Veeeeery sweet last year
Ik ben Heeel lief geweest afgelopen jaar...
*
*
So I got a lot of presents from Sinterklaas, yeP!
Don't you love animals?
I think that you sure would love me, because my nature is that I am a very sweet dog, with a calm/quith character, I am a bit slow though. Sometimes I jump up! Why? just because... because I am so HAPPY I quess that I exsist? I am just happy, always:)
*
*
Dus daarom heb ik lekker veel kadootjes gekregen van Sinterklaas!
Hou je niet van dieren?
Dan denk ik dat je mij wel lief vindt, want ik ben van nature een erg lieve en zachtaardige hond, met een kalm/rustig karakter, ik ben alleen wat langzaam. Maar soms sring ik ineens op! Waarom? Nou ik denk dat ik dan gewoon blij ben dat ik besta... Ik ben eigenlijk altijd gelukkig.
*
*
So Bye Bye SINTERKLAAS!!!
I am so glad that you are leaving....
Hi and ehhh , Have you celebrated SINTERKLAAS yesterday evening? We DUTCH PEOPLE did! I hearded at the frontdoor of my neighbours, yesterday evening:(they have 2 young children) BOOOOOM!! BOOOM !!!BOOOM!!!!
And the children were screaming: "MAMAAAA! Sinterklaas at the frontdoor!" And there was the sack of Sinterklaas standing at the frontdoor, filled with all presents... No bad children this year or yesterday-evening! So everyone got their presents and they were singing the Sinterklaas -songs, Thanks its over! pffffff!

Together strong!:)

Together we 'stand' strong:)
*
A while ago my dog/ Ios was having a leg-bone problem, and I/JoAnn felt from a stone- stair in Italy ooh hurts my back. Do you picture us walking together?hahahah! We are walking this way: hip-clonk-boom-hip-clonk-boom . I'm telling Ios not to jump up and down so much:). Now we are both feeling a bit better, she's walking better, I walk always straight 'like a ballerina' so no-one would see anything on the outside.... . We are OK together : We 'stand' strong Together :)
*

***
Samen "staan" we sterk.:)
Een tijdje geleden had Ios (mijn hond) last van haar beender gestel. Iets aan haar voorpoten en ze liep echt mank "hop-klonk-prrr-hop-klonk-prrr", toen ik/JoAnn in Italie ook nog eens van een stenen trap afviel, liepen we allebei mank hahaha! Stel je voor: zie je ons ZO lopen samen? Nu gaat het met ons beiden een stuk beter. Zij loopt voorzichtig maar loopt nu beter, en ik loop altijd rechtop (voorzichtig) als een ballerina, mijn hond/Ios en ik , we houden elkaar in evenwicht: We 'staan' samen sterk:)

Couples for life!

DUCK and SWAN COUPLE's

Duck couple/ Eenden paartje
About the above photo: this pic came out a bit blurry because of the dark surrounding-light and the ducks were quith far away! I needed to use the zoomlens further than possible . Over de foto boven: deze foto is wat troebel uitgevallen vanwege het te weinige omgevings licht, en vanwege het feit dat de eenden verweg zwommen , ik moest ver inzoomen.
*
In another blog-post I told you blogreaders about the couple rule for Ducks and Swans remember? They are couples or ' man and wife' for life!!! This Swan couple (under) is coming back in Naarden (Holland) every year at the same time and place, and they are always together,.From Ducks I Red in animal books that they have their own partner too.
*
EENDEN en ZWANEN PAARTJES

A Swan couple / een Zwanen paartje
*
In een andere blogpost, vertelde ik julliie bloglezers/essen over de zwanen en eenden, ( misschine weten jullie dat nog?) dat zij beiden een VASTE levenspartner hebben voor het leven ofwel; "mannetje en vrouwtje' zijn en zij schijnen daar zeer trouw aan te zijn en blijven, de bovenstaande zwanen komen elk jaar terug op dezelfde tijd en plaats in Naarden .... Over de eenden heb ik 'deze zaken'' gelezen in een dieren (gewoonten) boek, van de zwanen weet ik het zeker..

Have a good sunday ! Een goede zondag gewenst!

I am sleeping, don't....

Leave me alone, I'm Sleeping!!!
Don't you see?
*__*
Laat me met rust, ik slaap!
Zie je dat niet?
*__*

*
This Duck 's is sleeping on a boatdeck,
With his face hidden eyes closed still on his two feet , (sometimes they sit for hours just on one leg) after a heavy rainfall. They find a place everywhere here on little fishing-rowing-boats in the Naarden-Vesting waters.
Deze eend slaapt op 1 been, vlakbij de Naarden Vesting wallen in het water op een van de vissersboten....
*
Even the white swan's couples are coming back every year to the Naarden waters.
Did you know that ; ducks and swan's have their own husband and wife's?
Yes! they really are having their own partner, they are very monogame, So when a duck or swan is loosing their partner, they grief for a very long time or even can die from sadness..
Wist je dat dezelfde eenden EN zwanen elk jaar naar deze Naarden Vesting wateren terugkeren? en dat ze een vast Paar (1mannetje 1vrouwtje) vormen? Ze zijn erg monogaam, als er een van een paartje doodgaat, dan kan het voorkomen dat de andere overgebleven eend ook doodgaat van verdriet.
___________________
I just let you know that I might not be able tomorrow to go onto the internet,
because they are fixing the thelephone line tomorrow, so I/m really sleeping!!!!

At the vet..impressions

IOS and I went to the vet yesterday,

Photo above : This window is what we see while waiting in the waitingroom for the animal doctor, I captured this shot in PS, just to make it more like a piece of art , I don't know if it looks exiting . but for me the result satisfied me enough. Foto boven: Dit RAAM is in de wachtkamer , waardoor je kijkt als je zit te wachten..... deze heb ik bewerkt in PS7 om het een stukje 'kunst' te laten lijken, ik weet niet of dat is gelukt, maar 'k vind het resultaat wel mooi.
_____________________________

Above , Ios looking at me: "when shall we gooooo!!!"
foto boven "Ios kijkt me aan 'wanneer zullen we gaan?"

Wile wating for the doctor I saw a couple of posters on the wall:
Photo/poster under is about, How the vet advice's us pet owners have to take care of the teeth of their pet, me about MY dog... but there are also vets which want me to brush with a toothbrush (?) OOOOOHHH no not with my dog if I want to keep my fingers....

Foto/poster boven; Hoe de honden hun tanden (schoonhouden) poetsen...
Foto/poster onder: De leeftijd van een kat/hond en een mensen leeftijd..Ios is nu 8 jaar en 3 maanden en weegt meer dan 25 kilo, de linker lijn geeft haar Mensenleeftijd aan...

Above photo/poster: The human age in comparison with the dog's or cats age...thats very interesting . My dog is above 25 kilo's , and 8 years and 3 months old now...so look at the left line for her HUMAN age....
Foto/Poster onder, wil je nog een puppie? Links boven , zo zag IOS er uit toen ze klein was...

Above photo/poster, Do you wanna have 1 of those puppies? Left top, is how IOS was looking while she was a puppie, sweet ehh? She's still that little puppie in my eyes.

Last health news: Ios ( my dog) is doing better now, the vet gave some more medicine for her bones and another injection in her frontbone, we have to return 1 month after now for another checkup/controll, she getting better day by day.

Summer is flying away...





In Holland the summer flies away ,and Autumn is coming,.
This above photo is made in a butterfly-garden in Costa Rica.
Last December-January we were in COSTA RICA, an impressive (sunny, & great light!) country and a real inspiration to make this kind of photo's... A lot of American people were building and buying their second appartment/house overthere, I can really imagine.... Its a beautiful country.
In Nederland is de zomer weggevlogen en de Herfst doet zijn intrede, De foto boven is gemaakt in een vlindertuin in Costa Rica, daar waren we afgelopen jaar December/Januari. Het is een zeer indrukwekkend land, erg mooi (licht) om foto's te maken, Het viel ons op dat veel Amerikanen daar hun 2e appartment of huisje kopen. Dat kan ik mij erg goed voorstellen... want het is een prachtig land...

( About the pic's , When enlarge this photo's by double clicking on them, the photo's are made by a LONG LOOOONGGGGG Telelens so they might be a bitty blurry, so now you know why....)
(Over de fotoo's boven, deze zijn te vergroten door erop te dubbel klikken, ze kunnen wat "blurry/wazig" zijn maar dat komt omdat ik een enorme telelens heb gewerkt.. Dat je het maar weet! )
Gezond & PRETTIG WEEKEND!
