After Betsy passed away we knew that eventually we had a empty bed to fill in our little home. Of course there still is some grief left but we thought the time was there to go and visit some adoptable cats. We thought we'd just go and take a look at what's out there.
This saturday we went to a organisation called Wetland Cats in Gouderak near Gouda. This organisation houses around 260 cats that where abandoned, impopular at the shelter, almost put to sleep for no reason by their previous owners or just regular stray cats. Some of these cats are semi-wild or even agressive to humans and therefore not up for adoption.
Another thing that they do at this wonderful place is offering another organisation temporary housing for stray cats from Romania. These cats get rescued from certain death on the streets of Romania and then nutured, chipped and vaccinated before they travel to Wetland Cats. There they are put up for adoption.
Once we where in the shelter for the Romanian cats our attention was drawn by a little black cat. She was really petit and purring as loud as she could. once my girlfriend picked her up she started te pur even louder and climbed on her shoulders to give little licks and other signs of affection. Needless to say my girlfriend was sold. With Betsy really being my girls cat is was more important that the cat liked her then me. But she is also very, very friendly to me too.
She is just one year old (Born 03-03-2017, estimated) and really petit. Because of her gentle and soft character we decided to go with Flanelleke as her name. This because the fabric flanel also is very soft and warming. Her official name however is Komo Flanel, a hint to Coco Chanel as well as to her previous life on the streets with Komo being a well known brand of black plastic trash bags.
Whe we came home she immediatly came out of the travel basket, leaving Chupa and Tickel a bit puzzled over who this little gal was. But she has great cat manners and even after just 46 hours I think it is safe to say thet she fits right in. They even played together yesterday evening!

Cute as.....
We also have another nest at the other end of the house and at times it seems as though there is some rivalry between the two groups. Welcome Swallows flying around everywhere. What a wonderful place to live. :-)

This series are photographs taken from my garden, other people's gardens, nature strips, reserves, parks and anywhere really. The aim is to photograph mostly Australian Native animals but other beautiful animals may find their way into the mix over time.
These Welcome Swallows were photographed on a pedestrian bridge near my home in Como, NSW.
The reason they are linked to my Pinch River profile is because they will inevitably feed into my work at some stage in some way or another, but for now can just be enjoyed as images of beautiful fauna that captured my attention and inspired my creativity.

Uyuni is a Bolivian town in the middle of nowhere on the edge of nothing... It is located high up in the Andes - 3669 meters up according to the sign the largest claim to fame is that it is the principal gateway to the massive salt desert bearing its name nearby. There are a few different ways of getting to the city - one of these is by train and this is whats greets you at the train-station should you choose to do so.
You can look at other photos from Bolivia in my Bolivia set.
You could watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...

WELCOME TO BURQUE: Ruben
SO Ive been unemployed now going on 4-5 months and sent out countless resumes (when someone is looking for a job and spends money they don't have for their driving record and the business doesnt have the respect to at least let you know if you got the job or not it's pretty fucked up. Way to stay professional Duggers Towing). I've been making money here and there with my photography but with the holidays coming up depression has been settling in and for the past week or so and i've been pretty self isolated. This morning I woke up and decided to go to MY church, the streets of Albuquerque.
I met Ruben in the parking lot of Starbucks on the corner of Lomas and Broadway as he was sitting in the cold holding his sign. I pulled up and grabbed my camera bag, a couple of smokes and my last 5 dollars. I walked up to him and introduced myself and explained what I did and asked him about himself as I sat down next to him on the ground. I asked him if he smoked and he smiled and said "hell yeah, can I have one?"
He told me that he's been homeless since 2001, before that he was a cook for 35 years. He found out he had hepititis and was informed by BernCo and the city of Albuq that he could no longer cook and that he needed to find a new profession. "I've been cooking for 35 years, that was my professioon, how the fuck am I supposed to find a new profession at 65" he tells me and went on to say "I tried to get SSI but was denied because it's not a disability but who's gonna hire me at my age and I cant get a job as a cook because the city tells me so."
He told me about having a daughter named Natasha whom he lost touch with, she got married to a gentleman she met at UNM and moved to Baltimore. I tried having people find her on "interface" (i think he meant internet or facebook) but he couldn't remember her married name. We talked about 45 minutes and he said "thank you for listening to his story". I handed him the last of the money I had, a couple more smokes and asked if I could take his photo. he said "yeah, not many people like you who actually sit with us homeless and try to get to know us. Most just hand us change and go about their day, some heckle us and call us names and try to intimidate us. You, youre different."
I took his pics and thanked him for his time and he replied "that's all I got in the world, time". I shook his hand and told him to take care, his last words to me, "nice to smoke a real cigarette, I usually have to smoke rollies." to take care, his last words to me, "nice to smoke a real cigarette, I usually have to smoke rollies." — in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
