A couple of weeks ago, while Brandon and I were whiling away a quiet Sunday afternoon together, Brandon's niece Avery stopped by for a visit (along with her parents). We had a lovely time chatting, catching up and watching Avery play with the cats. Brandon snapped some fabulous shots of Avery throughout the course of the afternoon. At a moment when his arms were full of Pollux (see above), I grabbed his Nikon D80 to see what it could do! I like the look on Pollux the cat's face here, but I can't quite decipher it. Patience? Consternation? A general feeling that cats have all the answers? Your guess is as good as mine. (PS ~ Thanks to Brandon for assistance with decisions regarding cropping and color here.)

Amsterdam North. Pollux sailingship, tallship.

Castor and Pollux (which one here?) on horseback.

The Treasury, Petra, Jordan.

I didn't get their Latin name right, but I got their portraits into my students notebooks on the correct day. Here they are, the Dioscuri or Sons of Zeus, with my semiprivate attributes of Memory and Willpower.

Les villas de Nice sont des édifices de villégiature d'hivernants qui présentent une ou des références stylistiques architecturales depuis son annexion en 1860.

L'architecture édilitaire locale (gare, lycée, préfecture, églises, poste ...) s’inspire principalement des oeuvres de styles français. À part quelques courants minoritaires (gothique et orientale) et sans lendemain, la majorité des bâtiments privés puisent leurs modèles dans le riche patrimoine de la Renaissance italienne et cela jusqu'en 19391.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'italomanie est remplacée sur la Côte d'Azur par le style néo-provençal.

Castor et Pollux sont, dans la mythologie grecque, les fils jumeaux de Zeus et de Léda. Ils sont appelés les Dioscures ce qui signifie les « fils de Zeus » en grec.

Pollux climbed into my cardigan and nods off. Who knew that kittens snored?
