Winter wedding

This is my good friend Elena who used to serve here for two years. A month ago she got married to Igor from Saint Petersburg. Saint Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia and i think in the world. It is full of history. I have never been there but wishing one day to visit, especially now when Elena and Igor are there. I love this picture, she looks so beautiful, and he looks very happy too:) When i look at this picture i feel a little cold, and i love it because i miss snow. I think winter weddings are especially beautiful!

My new acquaintance...

My orientation buddy Kurt went on vacation recently to the Philippines.
He told me about this little creature that can be found only in 3 islands in the Philippines, it is called Tarsiers, it is very small and has huge eyes. I asked his permission to post this picture on my Blog. Aren't they adorable? Double click on pic to see them better, they are sitting on the tree.

And this is what i found about them on Internet, including a bigger picture:

The family Tarsiidae contains one genus and five species. Tarsiers are found in the islands of southeastern Asia, including Borneo, Sumatra, some East Indian islands and some Philippine islands. They are species of secondary forest. Tarsiers are small haplorhine primates, weighing 80-150g. Their fur is silky and buff, grayish brown, or dark brown on the back and grayish or buffy on the underside. They have round heads and remarkably large eyes that are directed forward. Their ears are nearly hairless and seemingly membranous in texture. Their muzzle is short, and they seem to have almost no neck (although they are capable of turning their head over 180 degrees!). They are active at night and highly arboreal. During the day, they sleep in dense vegetation, usually on a vertical branch; occasionally, they use a hollow tree. They feed on insects and small vertebrates, which they capture by leaping on their prey and grabbing it with their hands. Tarsiers are usually found in family groups or by themselves. Family groups are based on a stable pair bond. They are not sexually dimorphic.
