My sister suffered throughout her life. Kind, funny, a reader, talented artist who truly saw animals. The past 4 years dialysis 3 times a week, in pain, at last spending all day snuggled in bed with her beloved Whippets. Last week she chose to enter hospice. Not much time left to say farewell.

Today is Remembrance Day in many countries – the red poppy is its symbol.
Maybe you didn’t know that in Ukraine,
May 8 is Remembrance Day, honoring the victims of World War II.
Ukraine also uses the red poppy, designed by Serhiy Mishakin in 2014
(the words in the picture say ‘Never again’)

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the night was mostly calm,
but with minimal electricity at home.
russians want to demoralise us before winter.
We? Live. Work. Create. Resist.

I see James Watson has died.
What did Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.
Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

A 1,000 year old sacred camphor tree, known as Ookusu (or Goshinboku), located within the grounds of Atsuta Jingu shrine in Nagoya, Japan. It is believed to be a source of spiritual energy. A shimenawa (sacred rope) is tied around the tree, marking it as a holy site in the Shinto religion.

Strong resemblance to my heart hound. It’s been 17 years and I still miss the big guy.
A portrait of a hairy hound to bring you a smile today. I painted this delightful chap in 2015, using soft pastels on archival quality paper 😊
