Thank you, Curtis!

Thanks, Jen!

I hope you have a wonderful day as well!

You're welcome, Tamantha!

You're very welcome. Thanks for reaching out and for all your kind words and appreciation!

I agree.

Another striking image!

Interesting object! I would guess it's used as an anchor of some sort.

All the hosts of the various challenges are part of #EastCoastKin, which you tagged, so that was the correct thing to do if you wanted to reach more than one. Robyn is the one that does the fantastic work of creating the list each week.

Your mother sounds very talented!

It's funny, my daughter has a cat that looks very similar which she's had a number of years. I didn't set out to find a cat like hers, but it just ended up that way. The signs seemed to say he was the one for me.

Thank you. I could control the materials that went into it (up to a point), but the background I was stuck with.

Thank you, Scott!

🌅🧡🤩

I think they were catapulted, not actually used in a cannon.

That's quite possible. I took this photo very long ago, so my memory is fuzzy. I was trying to research it more, but didn't get anywhere.

What a cute bird!

I appreciate that you're so appreciative. 😊🙏

That's so nice of you. ☺️

Two Ghanaian women dance in close connection, their bodies angled toward each other as if mid-step in a shared rhythm. One bends low with her headwrap glowing in warm light. The other leans in, upright and steady, her patterned blue blouse catching our eye. Their skin tones are deep brown against a dark, nightlike backdrop. A large green circular form behind them is textured with tiny dot-marks and creates a haloed space that feels both intimate and expansive. White highlights skim across skirts and hips, turning fabric into moving light. The women’s hands meet near the center, making the dance feel like conversation rather than performance. The scene is just two people, close enough to exchange breath, weight, and timing. The green disk functions like a moon/world for an image of cycle, season, and return while its seedlike dots suggest growth and abundance. The surrounding dark field, sprinkled with small starbursts, places their movement inside a bigger order like night sky, spirit space, or cosmic time. The dancers’ looped poses (bend/lean; reach/receive) feel almost like call-and-response or a visual metaphor for community knowledge passed body-to-body. Even the choice to show one figure turned partly away protects interiority as we witness relationship and presence without demanding full access. American artist John Biggers’ Ghana works are often discussed as shaped by his deep engagement with West Africa after his 1957 UNESCO-supported travel, and this painting carries that ethos with dance not as decoration, but as a living archive. Biggers once wrote, “I began to see art… as a responsibility to reflect the spirit and style of the Negro people,” and here that responsibility appears as joy with gravity via two women grounded, radiant, and self-possessed inside a world that seems to turn with them.

They are such characters! 😆

A stunning long-haired lynx-point cat with blue eyes crouching in front of a window with a torn lace curtain draped over him. His head is turned back toward the camera. The round hole in the curtain reveals his gorgeous face. The curtain is mesh with large dots connected by lines.

I have this one, but it will be changing tomorrow night when we post the new list for next week. I have it pinned to my profile as well.

😁🔎☘️

It was an interesting and lovely surprise. Maybe I'll be able to find out the story behind it.

Happy Sunday to you too! 🤗✨🫶

Awwww...that's so cute!
