I used my a bit higher (but still pathetically low) self-confidence to meet another dA member - this time it was *Shadow-and-Flame-86, lovely young scientist from Scottland, where she studies marine mammals! It was just perfect, she is very nice person, we had fun (at least me). I am really glad we met and could chat a lot about her work, ZOOs and animals in general
What was the biggest attraction? Giant pandas? Wolves?
No! Those were squirrels
ZOO Vienna is totally full of wild but tame squirrels. And by full I mean that they are everywhere in a forest part of the ZOO! People feed them with nuts, so they come VERY close to you, they even run to humans, following them and beggingI was ready for this and I prepared a sack of wallnuts for me and *Shadow-and-Flame-86 to have some fun. It was amazing
one squirrel bit me when she took a nut from my fingers - I was rude to hold it too tightly, I think XD other squirrel climbed me chest, other one my

Ok, ok, ok, I am almost scared - what happaned? It seems that this site is totally empty for last week!
I wonder what caused this: Sandy? Or do Americans have some Halloween holiday so they are not online? Or... is there some secret and slow Zombie attack?
Of course dA decided to use this time to announce free shippingusually they do it before Christmas and I usually get pretty nice money from it. This time I got just few dolars, so I hope dA will repeat the action - just before X-mas as they did the last year. Because this site really seems to be empty now!
as a response to a free shipping, I released Free calendar for 2013 - I think I have never had so few faves, views and downloads on it. What a pity, what a bad time
I know about Sandy, it was covered by Czech media a lot
Poor people, I hope everything will be fixed as soon as possible. I did not know it affected so many people
You also know I asked you to vote for Allerlei's photo - thank you

So my parents finally got back from Georgia. I have to say that I feel a great relief! Of course I knew local people are civilized that it is a nice country with fantastic nature, but it was still the Caucasus region and I definitely did not trust its roads and planes... My parents loved the trip and today and tomorrow we are looking at the photos they and their friends have taken. Nice to have them home

At first, thank you for very interesting discusion under my last journal - although I did not reply to every comment, be sure I read every single one!do not be afraid, I definitely do not judge USA and its citizens through some reality shows
here in the Czech republic we also have really stupid shows and so, I think it is a world epidemy
I always keep in mind that USA is huge country with a large scale of people of all the qualities
some of you said they are ashamed to be Americans - I do not think there is a reason for it, as your country has f.e. many good universities or scientists!
I had a bad day today. I got totally stressed (I can not say why - maybe because of my stupid diploma thesis?) and when I get stressed, I eat. Holy mother, I ate such a crap today, that I feel really guilty and if I did not feel a strong resistance against it, I would like to kick myself to threw it all awayI ate some caramel cream I prepared for a cake I made, then I ate TH

Kiriban was caught and the winner will be featured soon
I also passed all your comments and compliments (on the last journal's photos) to my parents, they were very pleased and thanked youso thanks!
This weekend I spent in mountain and I visited one of my favourite ZOOs, Dvur Kralove nad Labem. I was a bit disappointed that they moved cheetahs (I did not see them at all), because this ZOO was very good for taking photos of them. They also moved fennec foxes from very photographer friendly enclosure which allowed the foxes to enjoy some sun light into a nocturnal indoor pavilion which is very dark and you can watch the foxes only from above, so I am afraid I lost this place for fennec photosI also did not manage to take good photos of baby tigers and baby leopard although I tried a lot. It seems that my lens refuses to focuse, which scares me
I admit I could take some 70 000 photos with it, but... do not die, 55-250 IS!
I can not be without photography!

Will, will, where are you?
I do not mean any guy (although Will Riker is kind of cute), but my own will - I can not get into losing weight again, although I now have the perfect chance to continue! I hate my weak will so much, how comes that I can not kick myself to continue, especially when I see it IS possible? :/ nah, I am so angry at myself. Go, stupid Woxys! There are still 20 kilos of fat which wait to be removed.
Mhhhhhm, I really need to start, as even the current state makes me feel much happier than the state a year ago.
Sorry for talking about this issue a lot, it is not easy, although I have already managed to lose some 20 kilos. And now other 20 should go away! It is just hard, because yes, it is nice I lost so much, but I am still so terribly overweightI have so many motivation clothes, but I obviously need a big kick to continue. GOOO, blonde, go
but thank you for your support, you are awesome.

Tired + ZOO Prague, nice animals - PHOTOSHi!Tired + ZOO Prague, nice animals - PHOTOS1 year ago in Personal More Like This
It was my first weekend after a working week in my life - and I did not relax
I had to go to help my family, we painted a huge room in my grandfather's cottage (his free time house, where he loves to travel and work). I was driving and my father was not satisfied with it, which made me unhappy. I am really trying. But we have manual shift, of course, so I need to learn how to do it right... My father also wants me to drive faster than I think is safe. Do not get me wrong, I am not afraid of speed - if the road is good and quite empty, it is ok. But there was a narrow road with many bends, where bikers love to go and on the other hand, cars in opposite direction might have troubles to stay in their half. In such situation, I want to be more careful, but well...
I got even more angry about this, when we met a place of tragical car accident - I later found out that some young guy died there only hours ago. There were many cadles and young people staying close to the tree, crying

Worried + foxes - PHOTOSHi.Worried + foxes - PHOTOS6 months ago in Personal More Like This
Not the best start of Christmas time - my grandfather had to go to hospitalhe had some trouble with Gallbladder and he probably made it worse with his bad diet (do not blame us, we did our best to provide him healthier food). So finally even our help was not enough, grandda got so weak that he had to be taken to hospital. Today, he underwent the surgery and they took his Gallbladder away. Fortunately, there were no complications and he felt good (but in pain) after it. Unfortunately, he will spend X-mas in hospital
I will visit him for sure, I have already did twice. I am really sorry for him, but at the same time, grandfather feels much better under professional medical care and he is also provided with some proper feeding (he can not eat now, but you know how doctors feed people through blood). I am nervous, of course. My grandather is 83, so every such medical problem is not fun...

Strange dA people + ZOO in autumn - PHOTOSHi!Strange dA people + ZOO in autumn - PHOTOS8 months ago in Personal More Like This
I got all scared and hysterical that I waisted all sunny autumn days so I have no chance to take any wolf photos with colourful background this year. So when the sun made it to shine through the clowds today, I ran to the ZOO to take some shots. Well, the leaves are still on the branches and nicely golden, so I have some autumn shots in stock againthe foxes and wolves are fluffy again, but both of those species were sleepy - I had to wait a lot before wolves decided to move a bit. You might say it is a deal of photographers, but it is something unusual, local wolves tend to have only short moments without activity. Both alpha and beta female seem to be very tired and thin, but at least they seem to have some grown fur
I hope they will manage to survive the winter, but it is really a sad sight. Atila, on the other side, is fluffy white pillow as usual, and again his own pups made him feel very uneasy. He is so cute.
The title: yup, there are some great persons on this site

Yesterday I went to ZOO Olomouc with my great friend =amrodel - she has never been to this ZOO and because it is one of my the most favorite animal facilities, I really wanted to show her! And because =amrodel is a lion lover and because baby lions were born in Olomouc, we could not have a better opportunity to meet! It is always a pleasure to see :devamrodel and we really had fun. It was fantastic to watch whole lion family - father imon was so desperate, because his babies wanted to play with his tail! He really seemed very unhappy about it. But we had fun.
Thank you for great meeting and for a great present (=amrodel gave me a printed version of her famous and beautiful photo of my beloved wolf Lobo), friend
In the ZOO, I saw also something which took my breath away - I will show you later!
But after I got back, I got some leight gastric problems. I had them also today, but it was very far from anything serious. But during this eve
White wolves and friends - PHOTOS and a bit sad.Hi!White wolves and friends - PHOTOS and a bit sad.1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Here are some new photos for you.
I am just sad when I look at Alex and Clair, the oldest females of the pack (the last photo). They both look so.... useddo not be mistaken, it is not just winter/summer fur change. They are too slim, too used, losing too much fur, some parts of their bodies seem to be almost bare, they had even some small bleeding injuries... I think their bodies are too tired after so many pups
it was nice to see them both meet next to the lake, as they walked away together as old friends, although they used to have at least one very big conflict which resulted in death of Alex's puppies. But it was a sad sight too. I do not want to be pesimistic, but I do not believe Alex and Clair will survive 2012
my personal guess is, that ZOO will put them to sleep in autumn.... but it is really my personal opinion
Nah, people: it is MY SPECULATION! ZOO has not announced anything like this, so do not blame it, please! I simply think that they would not survive wi

I did not want to do it before finding another one, but I finally could not bear all that confused stuff and stress and low competence of the company. I was even supposed to help to spread something I considered to be evil for the world, so it was even more stressful.
Now I need to find a job as soon as possible. So I am poor again now XD
EDIT: people, you seem to be a bit confused - my job has never had anything to do with animals or photography!ZOO photography is just a hobby for me, I need to earn money to go to ZOOs.

I passed the computer test weeks ago, I got 100% of right answers.
I also passed the exam of technical knowledge weeks ago.
But I failed to pass practical driving exam for two times!they say that only 20% people pass all three exams for the first attempt. But my second attempt was absolutely screwed up - I was so depressed about it, feeling so ashamed.
But today I passed also this part, so I will have a driving licence soon

Art-thief + small cats - PHOTOS!Hi people!Art-thief + small cats - PHOTOS!7 months ago in Personal More Like This
Yup, after long time, there is another stealing guy in this site.
He posts many famous google photos, clearly claiming them as his own. His last submission was a red fox, which is in fact a very famous National Geographic photo, which is posted by thieves very often. This guy says it was him who took the photo and he was only 30 cm far from this animal. What a liar.
This guy does NOT steal my photos, he steals photos of other authors.
So please, report him. I think his gallery is totally crowded with stolen shots, so if you know the originals, report him too, please.
And please, just report, no rude words for him. Thanks!
I hate those liars so much, especially when they think that blocking you would save their butt.

Muhaha, I am back from Berlin - it was AWESOME trip!
Thank you all for journey advices - we finally decided to not buy a sticker, to park our cars as close to the center as possible and to get to the hotel by underground. We in fact had no clue where to park or where to even leave a highway, but it somehow happened that we accidentaly left the car on the best place, which was really right next to the beginning of "eko" zone and just next to the tube station of the line which got us directly to the hotel. Yay!
The first thing I saw after getting out of the underground area was... CHECKPOINT CHARLIE!
One of the things I REALLY wanted to see in my life
And even our hotel was on a street, which used to be divided by Berlin wall! The remains were still lying just few metres from the hotel! Just AWESOME, AWEEEEEESSSOOMMMEEEE!
It really meant a lot for me.
I wonder if YOU know about Berlin wall and so...?

I will do my best to lose another 10 kilos faster. Let's give it try ok? I will do my best to lose another 10 kilos until the end of October (I do not want to go to quickly. To lose weight fast is definitely not a good way, because then you get a lot of fat back and you lose muscles...).

Can you believe that? Without any repair, "E" started to work just as I finished the thesis.
So stupid. Something or someone up there obviously hates me!
Yesterday I went to ZOO Olomouc - I saw SEVEN fennec foxes there. And you know how much I love them
ZOO Olomouc keeps them in two different exhibits. To be honest, both of them are horrible in my opinion - extremely smallit took a fennec some 3 seconds (no exaggeration) to run around whole exhibit
but they breed like crazy, so maybe they are satisfied. I somehow do not believe it - it is also very noisy pavilion with metal chainfence which makes VERY loud sounds everytime the visitor gets in. And the foxes just twitch in shock everytime the sound is made :/ I feel sorry for them. I usually play with them - those cuties are probably so happy they have something to investigate, that they follow your fingers and play with you through glass. I love them so much.
The worse exhibit is totally dark with only one strong la
