"football's a tribal sport, it's a pack acting in concert and that's perhaps why it has, in the past, attracted violent supporters. It's never been like that for me. It’s a slightly more aesthetic appreciation in my case..." Martin Amis, transcript for BBC Documentary 'Martin Amis' England'

Also decided I'd try going full-on gray, just for the fun of it.

Maybe I'm finally acting my age...

The young man on the left was acting like a pro, endlessly posing two young ladies on bicycles in front of San Luis Obispo Mission, apparently to promote the nearby Hotel Serra, which is still under construction.

Serra Hotels and Resorts advertises itself as a vibrant hospitality company committed to a fresh contemporary approach to developing and operating distinctive properties for today’s discerning travelers.

Always only a walk from home ...

Yes, just acting.

Minutes ago, she tore up the newspaper lining her freshly cleaned litter tray. A split second ago she was periscoping (missed :().

Seconds later, she hopped up my bed. A while later, she leapt up onto my lap all of a sudden. She's happy though. Saw her binky-ing around the room, and dashing in and out of her cage.

Hannah was a great find in 2022 - we did a number of excellent shoots and this one was no exception. She is a great mix - gorgeous, sweet, dependable, creative, and adventurous. My camera loves shooting with her and we're all looking forward to 2023. I took these photos in late November 2022.

Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus)
