There aren't only pests at dacha but also cute & harmless visitors.
I don't know how to call this little stripey bug but sure it is some beautiful one.
How can you not resist feeding this adorable kitten when it comes meowing at your door? It's somebody's but in dacha they are freed outdoors to ramble in the grass and wander around other dachas or perhaps learn a bit about being wild.
It's got a brother. And he eats more. He's also very playful. He was playing with apples like balls on the ground.
Another visitor. Well, she doesn't really ask for food. She'd just pass by as she crosses from ine street to another.
And from the river you can find water snake. I don't really like snakes but this one they said is harmless and was more afraid of people.
So going to dacha and enjoying wonders that it offers is still way worthy than just staying home to avoid pests like ticks.
They are all lovely. And I don't mind snakes, so long as they're not dangerous.
ReplyDeleteCute little bug! And adorable kitten visitors. The snake.....not so adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteYour pretty little bug looks like a colorful version of a stink bug. The cats are obviously well cared for. Here we have feral cats. They are not vicious but there are so many of them.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed this trip to the dacha so far. Love the kitties!
ReplyDeleteI don't care for bugs and snake, but the kittens are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on the snakes but oh, I'm so afraid those kittens would have to come home with me! I'm glad they already have a good home! They're adorable!
ReplyDeletesweet kittens and the sea snake is neat!
ReplyDeleteThe bug is pretty. I like the cats too, especially that last one--so colorful! I don't care much for snakes either. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the grey kitten with its pink tongue showing - so cute! Perhaps I've missed an earlier explanation from your blog, but can you please explain what is "dacha" ?
ReplyDelete"Dacha" is a summer resthouse in the countryside. It's more like a cottage with simple conditions. They aren't made for colder seasons so people only live there in summer.
DeleteDearest Mari,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photos you show, also in the newer post where you were on the mighty Volga river!
Beautiful scenery and here I loved the adorable kittens. Let's hope they will not be left abandoned during winter time as that would be rough for any pet to survive.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
