Our latest visitors, taken through a chain link fence, a first. A small group of gobblers put on a display of affection for one hen that was nearby.
A stray cat living in our son's neighborhood has been visiting for years. Her aging body now prevents her from climbing to rooftops, but that's where she used to hang out. Her appearance on roofs earned her the name, "Roof Cat."
Families will take Roof Cat into their homes during especially bad weather. But, the neighborhood feline prefers to live outdoors. Today, she let us pet her as we sat on our son's front porch.

Bogart, hands down, is a phenomenal dog. We are truly blessed to have him in our household. Bogart is not a barker, something we appreciate greatly when Magnus lets his deep voice be heard. . . and heard. . . and heard. Bogart loves everyone, loving when we have company so he can soak up affection from everyone and anyone. And, as many are already aware, one of the most endearing aspects of Bogart is his adoration of felines.
Once again, I couldn't choose just one. Additional photos are in the comments of Bogart interacting with Amerigo, all clickable, of course.

Pentax K1000
Expired Fuji Velvia 50
I recently gifted my wonderful little Pentax K1000 to a good friend as their wedding gift. Bittersweet for sure, as I have had this trusted companion now for over a decade. But It had fallen out of the rotation & I love the act of giving and receiving film cameras to and from loved ones. (In fact, this camera itself was gifted to me by an old colleague.) Shooting film is already so special, somehow this makes it even more so. To my delight, I discovered a fully exposed roll of Velvia 50 inside from a few years ago. What a nice parting gift. Thank you for all the good years, Pentax K1000. May you have many more. xx

A bit of badly received affection from the smaller of the cubs.
Silent shutter meant I could capture an interaction that would have never taken place had I used my DSLR with it's clunky mirror slap.
En toutes circonstances, et ce, même lorsque le monde semble partir dans des situations délirantes et angoissantes, n'oublions jamais de célébrer ce qui importe le plus à nos yeux : les êtres qui nous sont directement chers !
La vie est faite pour échanger de l'affection, non ? :-)
I'm not entirely sure the ancient superstition worked. The rowan tree remains but the croft-house at whose corner it stands is long decayed into little more than a couple perpendicular lines of stones returning to the bog.
Subtle tones and contrasts: bright pale green tree-beard lichen and moss covering the rowan tree, tall conifers just behind and other trees fading into the rain in the distance.

Deer couple ( or mother and her son?) on top of Mt Wakakusa in Nara park.
I was quite touched by the deep affection shown by the pair.
Essence of Love
Love is an interaction
Comes easy with affection
Compelled by
Offering and giving
Interaction of give and take
Running to and from
In a perpetual motion
Like the sign of infinity.
No one keeping score,
Just share
Being aware
Taking care –
Giving meaning to each other’s life
For giving is also forgiving
No demands or power struggles
For love there is no status, but harmony
No straight lines, but curves
No sharp edges, but smooth corners
No darkness, but enlightened knowledge
No deep waters, but clear streams
Love is in everything beautiful
To see the beauty is to know the ugly
To know the ugly is to feel the hurt
To feel the hurt is to know compassion
To know compassion is to embrace kindness
To embrace kindness is to give love
To give love is to fill up emptiness
To fill up emptiness is to be happy
To be happy is to be satisfied
To be satisfied is to feel safe
To feel safe is to be saved
To be saved is to feel fulfilled
To feel fulfilled is to be at peace
To be at peace is to feel at ease
