Echo and I went to my cat colony early this morning to trap the remaining two kittens. I caught a female..hooray! But the last kitten bolted and probably won't get her/him for awhile as I'm sure witnessing four of his/her littermates get trapped has made him/her extra wary.
Vet tech holding her so I could take a picture. She was vetted and then picked up by her foster mom. She'll be spayed when she's older and put up for adoption.
I bought another food dispenser for Echo. Here she is eating her lunch. I think this one is a bit too easy for her.
SAM describes the work this way:
Echo was modeled on the 9-year old daughter of a restaurant owner near the artist's studio in Barcelona. With computer modeling, Plensa elongates and abstracts the girl's features. The sculpture references Echo, the mountain nymph from Greek mythology. As told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, Echo offended the goddess Hera by keeping her engaged in conversation, and preventing her from spying on one of Zeus's amours. To punish Echo, Hera deprived the nymph of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. Plensa created this monumental head of Echo, listening with her eyes closed or in a state of meditation. The artist envisions Echo to look out over Puget Sound in the direction of Mount Olympus.
It seems like I always have song lyrics in my head, something to correspond to the place I am at any given time. On my recent trip to Los Angeles, I visited Echo Park and I couldn't stop thinking about a Warren Zevon song, Carmelita .
As an Angelino, Zevon wound references to his city through the song.
I like the ability of an HDR image to create the look of an old hand tinted postcard.
circa 1942.

Echo Drive-in theater in Roosevelt, Utah one of just a few drive-in's remaining in Utah. Since this theater uses RF transmission to your FM radio for sound there are no speaker poles or lines for parking spaces -- looks a little weird but it has everything else even a small playground in front of the screen.
The weather was perfect in Yantai and there such a relaxing atmosphere with just the right mix of Chinese and English being spoken this was the best day I had in Yantai. More beach pics coming soon.

My Iplehouse FID Raffine arrived today! I didn't do any box opening pics cause I'm lazy, but I did dress her up in some clothes so I could take a picture. Again, lazy, so I didn't fiddle with any camera settings so it's a crummy pic.
Teaching children how to wash their hands regulalry, especially before meals and after having been to the toilet, is an effective way to prevent the spread of potentially deadly water diseases which affect children in particular.

A green oven. This is priceless to me. I would have taken it with me if I could have.

In January 2022 I visited a special exhibition of Barbara Hepworth's work at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.
Some of Bridget Riley's work was also on display. It often challenges the eye!
