Charming, rakish, would not say no to some cheddar cheese.
A tan dog with a black muzzle reclines on his bed, head up, staring at me. His left ear is raised at a rakish angle and his slightly exposed lower teeth give the impression of a smile.

My mother in law has this book on her coffee table and the first sentence of chapter 1 is, “one cannot spend 35 years looking at barley without acquiring an enormous amount of observations”

An #Egyptian glass inlay of a jackal. Jackals were linked with the dead, because they were present in the desert regions near to the cemeteries. The most popular jackal-shaped god was Anubis, the god of embalming. Dating 5th -1st c. BC.

📷 Landesmuseum Württemberg

🏺
A black glass inlay shaped like a reclining jackal, shown in profile against a deep blue background. The figure has an elongated snout, upright pointed ears, and a smooth, streamlined body with subtle incised lines suggesting muscle contours. The jackal’s front leg stretches forward while the hindquarters are tucked beneath it.

Larch #trees are one of the few conifers that shed their needles in #winter. 🌲 In Sami & Siberian #mythology the larch takes the place of an Ash as the World-tree, & the smoke from burning larch is said to offer protection by warding off evil spirits. 🔥

A mostly blue picture with a section of black baseball cap brim, sunglasses and eye, taken accidentally from below when I was in a pumpkin patch and trying to find a pumpkin. It was sunny then and I'm missing the sun and reminiscing about warmer times and short sleeves and cocktails with ice back when ice was only good and delicious
