蓮猫 Lotuscat

Flyer for movie "Rental Family." Main character is in a parade dressed up as a cat and carries a little girl, also dressed up as a cat, on his back.

「レンタル・ファミリー」観てきた。東京を美しく撮っているので、とても懐かしくなる映画。登場人物全員がバイリンガルなので違和感があるのだが、この混沌とした世界でホッとできるヒューマンドラマ。コメディー演出がありながら、都会の孤独やつながりの消失という深い社会問題を扱っている。「化け猫祭り」という行事（架空なの？）も登場する...。Brendan Frazerの存在感は大きいが、柄本明が主役を食っている。

美しい東京の映像のバックグランド音楽は、Sigur RósのJónsiとAlex Somersが作曲。それだけでもこの映画を映画館で観る価値がある。

He's still very interested in the outside. I often wonder what would he do if I do let him out on snowy or rainy day.

A view of the book opened. It lies flat. The left hand page is blank. The right hand page has a watercolour sketch of an oak leaf and an acorn attached.

A view of the book opened. It lies flat. The left hand page is blank apart from strips of white where a sketch is tucked in on the reverse side.. The right hand page has a watercolour sketch of some pebbles attached.

The book is standing on its edge so the spine shows, with three groups of stitching.

Landscape format in acrylics on mat board. Most of the picture is green, depicting a grassy slope going up to the top right corner, dropping to a high dip three quarters of the way up the painting near the left edge from which it begins rising again to the left. The green grassy slope is dotted with yellow and white flowers. In the foreground the flowers are clearly daffodils with yellow centres and pale yellow, almost white, outer sharply angular petals. Further back higher up the slope the flowers are a mixtures of different yellows from almost white through canary to orange. In mostly blues but some dark reds and dark green are flower stalks or individual blades of grass. The sky is white to very pale blue with a touch of yellow, and it's visible as a small wedge at the top between maybe ten spaced out tree trunks, that are mostly thin and predominantly blue. Peeping up from the far side of the hill are about half a dozen tops of pine trees. The painting was photographed before I added my signature.

Have a #painting. "Daffodils" was painted during one of my 24-hour live video streaming multi-painting things I did over 10 years ago. Right now it's the time of year where early in the mornings I get to watch the daffodils in the back garden wake up as I'm making tea. #art #SpeirGhorm

Anybody who has tried to take photos in the perpetual twilight of the tropical forest understory knows how frustrating it can be.
This is where you need an artist.
Debby Cotter Kaspari is a whiz with pen and ink. And this is one of her understory drawings from Isla Barro Colorado, Panama, 2001.

Went up north to visit family this past week, so I didn't get to go out much but I managed to encounter this beautiful Spotted Salamander in Northern Virginia a few days ago! #herps
