There are morning people and definitely NOT morning people. Looks like it's the same with cats.
This was the scene, beside my computer (well, on top of my printer actually), early this morning. Tessa just wanted to hide and sleep longer while the pest was keen to start the day. Pest Sole spent time searching the world outside our window hoping to see something interesting.

I haven't had much time/energy to shoot lately, and it shows. There are ants all over my camera shelf!
Verdin inspecting low-hanging fruit for pests. Better viewed large. Interesting notes on Merlin site, www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Verdin/overview
This garden pest (white-tail deer) is eating weeds (bindweed). I wouldn't be annoyed if she stuck to eating weeds, but a moment before I took this photo she ate most of the plants from a pot intended to attract hummingbirds. Grumble!

Tradescantia pallida (purpurina, amor de hombre, pollo morado, niña en barco, carne de perro, ensalada de alcachofas) es una especie de planta herbácea y perenne endémica del este de México, de Tamaulipas a Yucatán.
Hojas elongadas, puntudas, de 7-15 cm de largo, pequeñas flores de 3 pétalos blancas, rosas o púrpuras, estambres amarillos. Las hojas son frecuentemente con una tonalidad púrpura, o (en muchos cultivares) Prospera a plena luz o media sombra en áreas subtropicales, crece 20 a 40 cm de altura.
Es también una planta ornamental en jardines, bordes, cobertura de suelo, o (particularmente en lugares fríos) como planta de interior. Se propaga fácilmente por corte; los tallos son visiblemente segmentados y las raíces frecuentemente crecen en las grietas. Es de rápido crecimiento, resistente a enfermedades y tolera sombra.
Como no es tóxica generalmente se considera segura para consumo humano y también como forraje, en alimentación de vacunos y cerdos. Aun así, hay que tener en cuenta que la planta es rica en rafidios, cristales de oxalato y calcio, que dañan las paredes intestinales y puede provocar problemas de piedras en los riñones. Muy desaconsejable usar esta planta para alimentar cobayas.

Tradescantia pallida is a species of spiderwort native to the Gulf Coast region of eastern Mexico. It is a perennial herbaceous species with a trailing habit. The cultivar T. pallida 'Purpurea', commonly called purple heart or purple queen, is widely grown as a houseplant, outdoor container plant, or a garden groundcover. The species has been proven useful in indicating and removing air and soil pollutants and has also been used in food technology.
T. pallida is perennial and herbaceous. It has a rambling habit, with plants reaching about a 1 ft (30 cm) in height but spreading considerably wider: the stems may trail to 18 in (46 cm) or more. Wild specimens are gray-green-purplish with a washed out look.
The fleshy, hairy leaves are up to 7 in (180 mm) long, narrow-oblong, and v-shaped. and form a sheath around fleshy stems, which break off easily. On the ends of the stems the plants produce relatively inconspicuous flowers. The flowers are three-petaled as is typical for the Tradescantia genus. The flowering is most abundant from midsummer through fall and sporadic at other times of the year. The flowers are open only in the morning. The plants are evergreen, but in colder areas die back to the ground in winter and resprout from the roots in spring.
T. pallida is found along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Its native range extends from Tamaulipas to Yucatan. The species has been collected in a tropical deciduous forest, among roadside limestone rocks, and on limestone outcrops.
T. pallida is grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive foliage. Only the cultivar 'Purpurea', featuring purple-violet leaves and stems, is commercially grown. 'Purpurea' is sometimes sold under the name 'Purple Heart', and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
T. pallida is a popular groundcover plant in tropical and semi-tropical areas. In temperate climates it has traditionally been used as a houseplant but is increasingly being planted outdoors in containers or as a groundcover. It is also suitable for hanging baskets, border fronts, and rock gardens. The plant is hardy down to USDA zone 7. It may be grown in the shade but the most intense purple color is achieved in full sun. The plant is remarkable for easily tolerating both drought and frequent watering. It is generally not affected by pests or diseases; however, slugs and caterpillars may attack young shoots of outdoor specimens, while houseplants should be monitored for aphids and scale.
T. pallida has been proven useful for phytoremediation, biomonitoring, and genotoxicity assessment of environmental pollutants, especially heavy metals and metalloids from coal power plants. As a houseplant, T. pallida has been judged exceptionally effective at improving indoor air quality by filtering out volatile organic compounds, a class of common pollutants and respiratory irritants.
Because the plant contains anthocyanins, T. pallida leaves have been used as food colorants[ and food preservatives.

Ils étaient vingt et cent... ils étaient des milliers... dans la nuit ils déchiraient de leurs ongles les wagons... Ils étaient des milliers... ils étaient vingt et cent...
Bien peu imaginaient que ce serait leur dernier voyage et que l'histoire saignerait de leur souvenir... encore aujourd’hui...
Leurs tortionnaires ne voyant en eux que des nombres... gardaient leur maigre bagages pour en faire des fortunes...
Le Mal qui ronge l'Amour est encore là... Il a un nom... La peste brune... Alors pas de repos pour la lutte et le souvenir...
