With this square, I was interested in how it felt contained, but not confined.

It has a lovely, more "glow-y" look in person.

Oh no, another visitor! 

Gadjo's tail...I can't believe it can get that big. It's the skinniest tail I've ever known.

They kind of wanted to kill each other.

Mr. Visitor reminds me of my beloved Halfie cat.

For the next few hours, Gadjo was on high alert.

Blast from the past photo: remembering my sweet old Jazzy dog today (on the right).

I was shopping for coffee.  Um, the English is a little weird...

I didn't have any conscious plan for this painting, but when I was done, it reminded me of Lakshadweep...  It's cold outside, and those are nice memories.

The special bond between Gadjo and Rumi never stops amazing me.

A Buddha's Hand (missing a finger), at the grocery store. It's some sort of citrus, I think more for looks than use; I've never tried it.

Okay, this really freaked me out.  My vet always sends out postcards to their clients when their animal is due for a vaccination or a checkup.  They're always postcards of animals.

But yesterday this arrived (see pic below). When I first took it out of my mailbox, I glanced quickly and thought, Oh, now they're sending postcards with the same breed as what I have, that's kind of fun.  Then I kept looking...and staring...and staring... until I finally realized, Wait, that's not just a Golden, that's my dog.

I actually think what they've done is hilarious, and don't mind a bit.  But it makes me feel a teeny bit weird. I suppose it's as if someone took a picture of your child in secret, without your permission, and then later you were surprised by the photo.
