Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
I think the garden supervisor was checking if the cats of the neighbourhood have left any messages in the fruit and vegetable beds of our garden but then something else caught his attention. Tofu is easily distracted. :)

One side of Timmy is the adventurer: today a wall was newly concreted at the construction site at the creek behind the house. Two hours later Timmy checked the quality of the work. Fortunately, the concrete was already solid enough so that he did not leave paw prints :-)))

A little while ago I posted a photo of Storm and me looking at a part of a pasture were we planned to cut down the trees to improve the pasture and get some firewood.
The work has now started and Storm was back as a supervisor today. He commented on the farmer being a little lazy, with slow progress, but was otherwise pleased. And bribed with a little deer meat he concluded that everything, including the work ethics of the old farmer, was honky dory!
There are a few more photos in the first comment.
The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.
In 1986, the district association of the west part of the city funded a competition for a new outdoor sculpture to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavík. Jón Gunnar's Sun Voyager won the competition, and the aluminium model was presented to the city for enlargement. The full-sized Sun Voyager was eventually unveiled on Sæbraut on the birthday of the city of Reykjavík, August 18, 1990.
The work is constructed of quality stainless steel and stands on a circle of granite slabs surrounded by so-called “town-hall concrete”. It was constructed in accordance with Jón Gunnar's enlarged full-scale drawing of Sun Voyager and was overseen by Jón Gunnar's assistant, the artist Kristinn E. Hrafnsson. The engineering of the sculpture was supervised by the technologist, Sigurjón Yngvason, in close cooperation with Jón Gunnar himself, the building itself was carried out by Reynir Hjálmtýsson and his assistant.
In an interview published in the newspaper Þjóðviljinn on 11 June 1987, Jón Gunnar describes the genesis of the work as being part of the Scandinavian art project, Experimental Environment, which conducted various artistic experiments in Iceland, Denmark and other places in the 1980s.
In May 1985, a group of artists, members of the Scandinavian art project, Experimental Environment, gathered to take part in the Saari-Vala Environmental Art Action in Bockholm, Finland. There I experienced a sense of the history of the origins of Icelanders, something which is also related in the present exhibition at the Nordic House in Reykjavík.
I had an uncanny feeling that I had been on this island before, when travelling on my way from Mongolia to Iceland, hundreds of years ago.
As you know, there have been speculations that the Icelanders as a race originated in Mongolia. I have discovered the history of their migration to Iceland, which runs as follows: Many centuries ago, a mighty warlord, let’s say it was Alexander the Great, was living in the centre of the known world. He dispatched his bravest and most experienced warriors, along with some women, scribes and other followers, on an exploratory expedition to the cardinal directions, the north, west, south, and east, in order to discover and conquer new, unknown territories. Those who headed east followed the rising sun until they reached the steppes of Mongolia. There they settled down and lived in comfort. Those scribes who accompanied the warriors were expected to document the expedition for the king. Several centuries later, when the documents written by the scribes eventually came to be examined, the people discovered that they had another fatherland in the west. They therefore decided to gather together their belongings and head back west towards the setting sun. We followed the sun for days and years, walking, riding and sailing. We enriched our experience and our determination grew in strength as our journey progressed, and we recorded everything that we saw and experienced. I remember endless pine forests, mountains and waterfalls, lakes, islands, rivers and seas before we eventually reached the ocean. We then constructed huge ships and sailed on westwards towards the setting sun.
As a result of this vivid experience of my participation in this expedition while on the island of Bockholm in the Finnish archipelago, I carved a picture of a sun ship into a granite rock by the sea. The sun ship symbolizes the promise of new, undiscovered territory. It is also being exhibited here at the Nordic House, made of aluminium.
There has been some dispute about the eventual location of Sun Voyager on Sæbraut in Reykjavík. Some people have complained that the ship does not face west, towards the setting Sun in accordance with the concept behind it. The original intention had been for Sun Voyager to be situated in the west part of Reykjavík, for obvious reasons. Jón Gunnar's original idea had been for the ship to be placed on Landakot hill, the prow facing the centre of Reykjavík and the stern to Christ the King Cathedral (Icelandic: Landakotskirkja). Another possibility was that it could be placed by the harbour in the centre of Reykjavík on a specially constructed base. The coastline by Ánanaust nonetheless eventually came to be Jón Gunnar's preferred location for the ship. Unfortunately, changes in the town planning for Reykjavík came to rule out this location. In the end, the final decision was taken (with Jón Gunnar's consent) that Sun Voyager should be located on Sæbraut on a small headland (which the artist jokingly called Jónsnes: Jón's Peninsula). Jón Gunnar was well aware that when bolted to its platform, Sun Voyager would be facing north, but felt that that made little difference when it came down to it.
Sun Voyager was built in accordance with the artist's hand-drawn full-scale plan. Its irregular form with the ever-flowing lines and poetic movement which are a distinctive feature of so many of his works make it seem as if the ship is floating on air. It reaches out into space in such a way that the sea, the sky and the mind of the observer become part of the work as a whole. As a result, Sun Voyager has the unique quality of being able to carry each and every observer to wherever his/her mind takes him/her. Few of Jón Gunnar's works have a simple obvious interpretation. As he stated himself, all works of art should convey a message that transcends the work itself. It is the observer who bears the eventual responsibility for interpreting the works in his/her own way, thus becoming a participant in the overall creation of the work. Jón Gunnar's works frequently make such demands on the observers, giving them the opportunity to discover new truths as a result of their experience.
Yesterday took lunch down to Dave's Dad and after lunch Dave replaced a outdoor light fixture. This was the two supervisor's on the inside!!
This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "It's a cat's job".
In this picture Noah is supervising my husband the "handyman" who was working on the house right outside of the back door. This chair is in the perfect spot to supervise what's going on outside. He can also see the wildlife from here and is in the perfect spot to jump down on any unsuspecting lizards that may get in. That is his favorite job... the big bad lizard hunter!! Since no lizards volunteered to pose with Noah we had to go with his second choice of supervisor. =^..^=

Yes, I did have a lot of fun with mixing sci fi and Parrish.
Thank you for beaming into my photostream!
Timmy supervising the garden and the neighbourhood
This shot was taken 3 weeks after Timmy moved in with me. At that time Timmy was not yet allowed to run free, so I had secured the patio with a cat net. About three weeks later, the net was removed and he was allowed to enjoy his freedom.

Happy Caturday 26.4.2025 "Now & then"
Remembering Daisy when she spent time on top of my kitchen cupboards. She was suitably smug there as she knew she was safely out of reach. Throughout her life she had excellent but “selective” hearing - somehow she was completely deaf to words like NO, DON’T...
I’d like to thank everyone for their wonderful messages of support this week - it has been a great comfort to know how much Daisy was loved by our friends here. I’m sure Daisy & all of our precious pets will live on in our memories. Remember the love & fun they gave us even while we mourn their loss. For them, celebrate a happy Caturday.
The jobs our cats do - Daisy likes to supervise the school run traffic every morning. Happy Caturday!
After three partly rainy days, the sun was shining this morning, a perfect washing day. As soon as I opened the folding clothes line, Romeo landed on it, having decided that I was in great need of a good supervisor :)
Bella was enjoying the sunshine through the patio doors, watching for birds in the garden.
Happy Easter to those who are celebrating & I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
Happy Caturday!
Theo supervising me while I'm on the PC. He's hoping that I'll reward him for a job well done ;-)
Happy Caturday!
Jasper takes his post on the cool tile floor of the dinette supervising as we finish clean-up after lunch. He'll also help out with the stray bit of cheese that might be left on a plate. You know, just in case the garbage bin is full and we have no other place to dispose of stray cheese
Engakuji (円覚寺) is another Zen temple of the Rinzai sect in Kamakura. It was founded by Houjou Tokimune (北条時宗 1251 - 1284) for Wuxue Zuyuan (無学祖元 1226 - 1286) invited from China to commemorate those who died in the Mongolian Invasions (元寇) in 1274 and 1281.
This temple used to be a private temple for the Houjou clan (北条氏) as compared to Kenchouji for the Kamakura shogunate.
The Houjou used to be a local Samurai family based in the Izu peninsula just to the west of Kamakura. They were originally a supervisor of Minamoto no Yoritomo (源頼朝 1147 - 1199) when he was exiled to Izu at the age of 13 after the Minamoto clan (源氏) was defeated by the Taira clan (平氏) in the political rivalry in the imperial court.
The Houjou supported Yoritomo to strike back the Taira clan and establish the Kamakura shogunate, for which the Houjou was awarded the hereditary regent position in the Kamakura shogunate. Yoritomo’s wife also came from the Houjou.
Houjou Tokimune was the 8th Regent of the Kamakura shogunate.

When I was setting up my ring shot for the Smile on Saturday group a couple of weeks ago, Kaiser decided to check out what I was doing, and as I was working on the table, was there food involved.

Happy Caturday.
3 August: International Homeless Animal Day
Apparently this day of awareness started in 1992 & encourages responsible pet ownership, including ensuring lost pets can be reunited with their owners.
Bella on a favourite windowsill, supervising her garden. She was a rescue cat, homeless because her owner couldn’t care for her after Bella was badly injured by a car.
My previous rescue cats were
Daisy - a kitten, abandoned at around 6 months old
Charlie - ill-treated so given to a rescue centre
Tizzy - a very old cat whose elderly owner died
They all had different backgrounds, but all they really wanted was a safe home where they were loved. They repaid that love many times over.
When I took this photo I was in the garden and Tofu sat in a raised bed on the porch and looked down at me. It was a perfectly chosen spot to supervise my garden work and I think he enjoyed the experience of being taller than me for a change.
Last weekend my husband cleaned out our backyard shed. It was a MESS with years of stuff crammed in, spiders and mice.
Rusty was his constant companion. Cats are every bit as social and interactive as dogs.....which surprises a lot of people who have never shared their home with felines.. Who could ask for a better supervisor?
