I have 3 things for you: a heron at a nearby lake; our houserabbit Curry who is a lion-head & fluffy!; and a photo of Vincent Price holding many cats (I don’t know why.)
A heron stands on concrete on the edge of a small lake. A house rabbit named Curry. He is a lion-head bunny which means it looks like he has bangs in front of his face and he has long fur around his head. A photo of actor Vincent Price. He is wearing a gray suit & is holding 4 large fluffy cats against his chest.

Maidan Square in Kyiv. A giant poster covers a building. There is a drawing of chains breaking. In English & Ukrainian are the words: “Freedom is our religion.” A man & a woman stand in front of several letters. The letters spell out: I 🩷 Ukraine. The heart is painted blue on the top & yellow on the bottom. Which are the colors of Ukraine’s flag.

Found these DVDs while liking for something else. I hadn’t seen in awhile. Great series - looking forward 2 a rewatch. But do not watch the US version. It is so, so, so amazingly terrible (poorly written & acted as well as over all plot.)
2 DVD covers for the British tv series “Life on Mars: Series 1 & 2.” The photo on the DVD cover is of 2 men standing in front of a 1970s brown car.
