bubbling water with tall grass going to seed around the edges.

Just below the Dragon's Mouth is this pond with all kinds of great photo ops.

#24HourEconomicBlackout

6-panel comic by War and Peas: Panel 1: The Grim Reaper stands at a door, holding a clipboard. He rings the door bell. Panel 2: An orange cat opens the door and says, "Ah, yes. Right this way." Panel 3: The Grim Reaper stands over a dead body without a head, checking notes. "Says here, he died of a stroke." Then, surprised, asks, "Where is his head?" Panel 4: The cat responds, "You expect me to starve?" Panel 5: The Grim Reaper, shocked, exclaims, "He died an hour ago!" Panel 6: The cat, now screaming, repeats, "Like I said, you expect me to starve?"

Gaspar Van Vittel circa 1717 Accademia Carrara of Bergamo View of Vaprio d' Adda on the left and Canonica d'Adda on the right: taken from the house of the water keeper ( who took taxes and looked after the horses, for the journey to Milan). In those days the Adda River marked the border between the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice. Goods of all kinds arrived in Milan through the artificial canal called the Naviglio della Martesana. ...And now in 2025

Bernardo Bellotto 1722-1780. View of Vaprio d'Adda on the right and Canonica d'Adda on the left. On the right you can see the Martesana Canal leading toward Milan and in the center at the bottom the Casa del Custode delle Acque. Capodimonte Museum (Naples)

Bernardo Bellotto 1744. By carefully staging the sunlight hitting the facades (in front la Casa del Custode delle Acque), rising above the Adda River, Bellotto picks out the north Italian villages of Canonica d’Adda at the right and Vaprio at the center-left. In the foreground, well-heeled figures provide stand-ins for viewers of the painting, gesturing with interest to the picturesque view. From 1935-38 propriety of the MET

I have ZERO doubt they would send Jesus to Guantanamo.

Zero
None

They’ve never changed.

Not only did the Chiefs lose the Super Bowl, but this player got hurt during the game.

A male pileated woodpecker chipping away at the base of a dead tree in the back of my property. I love the wood chip flying away and how his tongue is probing for insects. #birds

A well camouflaged owl perched in front of a tree's trunk.

This was one of two wild Barred Owls that lived (and may still live) near a nature center and rehab facility on the west side of Cleveland. I photographed this one in 2018. #birds, #photography

I’m too sexy for my body.

big stretch but horizontal

Tater Tot, an orange and white cat, is snoozing and Crouton, a brown and gray tabby kitten with white face, is snuggling on top of him and their paws are folded over each other

Look at them 😭🧡

Perfectly captured.

A moment in time

Old abandoned road leading off through the forest. Filled with mountain lupine.

Needs an endless old road
Filled with flowers today

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear so luminous and angelic.

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s.

Yesterday was shitty so let’s start today off better. This is Peppermint Patty. She was completely feral & unsocialized in November & now look at her. She loves to cheek rub you & flop into your lap. She’s so happy to show affection she can hardly sit still. Sometimes in rescue, we do get to win.
