An increasingly rare opportunity to walk in the snow in my town, so I took some pictures. See alt text.
The snowman is in town! He has black eyes, a carrot nose but no mouth. 2 sticks form his arms and he holds up a broom in his left hand. He has just finished sweeping the sidewalk. It must have been hard work; his green hair stands up in 2 tufts. In the foreground you see a wooden gate covered in snow. Behind it, a snow covered green. In the middle of the green, an beech hedgerow and box hedge doorway. In the background a black shed. The same black snow covered shed seen from a different angle. In front of the shed is a willow fence and an apple tree. In the foreground is a hedgerow; you peek over it. The air smells very clear.

I just can't
Ramses and Juultje on a footstool in front of the radiator. Juultje is barely visible, her head peeks out behind a very big black cat. Same cats, same footstool, slightly different perspective. Cat Ramses is very clearly too big because his front and back are hanging over. Juultje looks defeated. Yet another picture of the same. I just can't choose.

Zo'n dag
Two cats, Mayhem and Harley, sleeping in a red chair. Mayhem is hugging a pillow, Harley lies half on her back with outstretched paws. The only time when these sisters get along.

Face and fight me, shadow!
Ramses (a black cat) and his sister Mayhem (Grey or blue cat) lie on grey pavement, paws touching. They look at the camera as if I interrupted them.

Mayhem perfect toe beans #Cats
Mayhem is laying on the couch, her head is in the top left corner, her front paw stretched out to the right. A soft pink spot on each of the grey cushioned pads.

Ramses en Mayhem #Cats
A black and a grey cat lie on concrete, facing eachother and paws touching. Both looking at the camera. Both murder in their eyes.

There is an ongoing war between the squirrels and my cats in the garden.

The squirrels are angry after a cat killed one of their own.
Squirrel sitting on a branch of a large beech tree. Not in the picture: cat Harley on the ground. The squirrel walking off along the branch after cussing at cat Harley.

In een vlaag van inspiratie heb ik een nieuw tuinontwerp op papier gezet. Alleen nog even inmeten, materiaal aanschaffen en aanleggen. Bijna klaar!

Verdiend rusten.
My legs are visible as I am stretched out on the lounger. Cat Juultje is lying on my lap as usual. Cat Harley is lying on top of her.

Dit lijkt me geen gezonde therapie?
