Our first author for today brings us a beautifully captured shot of a purple heron. I must say, I adore everything about this photograph, the birds posture, it's wings position, the timing.. deserves to be recognized as an artist with a perfect eye for photography!

And finally we have a really amazing video of a Zakynthos holiday and some volunteer work at a stray dog shelter, made by . I adore everything about this short video, the background music, the beauty of this island and most of all the volunteering work done. Great job

We went on a holiday to Zakynthos Greece and did some volunteer work for the stray dogs on Zakynthos. The local organisation "Zante Strays" is doing a great job and we were proud to help them out. The strays dogs are a big problem on Zakynthos so if you can please donate to the organisation and when on Zakynthos pay them a visit. The dogs love your attention. -
