The magnificent glass bottle chandeliers, part of the village Christmas decorations. I think these are beautiful.

A wall of wool at the gate. The wool is bracketed by an equid at each end. The right-hand equid is nipping the ear of the directly adjacent sheep (Skippy).

Every year about this time, Leonard and Estelle went to go stay with her sister Carol in Toronto until the heat died down.
Two turkeys stand outside the front door of what appears to be a suburban home.

Don't know if you'd be interested in a bit of work on Saturday 1st July, they're booking people to roam around in wild animal costumes uptown.

Well, here we are with just one month to go until Christmas Eve, and the lone representative of last year's decorations (which is still hanging in the lounge) is beginning to get excited.

Another drizzly morning, another visit from Gary. He’s fluffing up against the coolness (60°f).

#birds Cooper’s hawk
A dark gray and brown Cooper’s hawk is perched on a blue metal tube fence. The bird is fluffing up its feathers against the cool morning breeze. The background is blurred green vegetation.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.

Today marks the feast of St Cecilia, the patron saint of music, and also the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Britten (b. 1913).
