This came up in my memories today: Cameron, my beautiful little girl. She loved her supervised outdoor time and knew the sidewalk was her boundary, so she'd push said boundary as far as she could.

A tortoiseshell cat lays on the sidewalk with her back facing the camera. She is looking up at a tree with green leaves. A row of suburban houses and trees with various shades of green, yellow, and red line the street.

A black and white photograph between two sections of a concrete highway bridge, one section for each direction of traffic. The view is from under the bridge at night. There are sharp shadowed angles from how the light hits the T-shaped concrete pillars. Ripples in the water below show water movement. There are two thin shadows being cast on the water's surface from the two sides of the bridge.

I've been traveling a lot over the last month, and that's why I've been inactive recently. Just you wait and see what I've accomplished in that time!

A string of yellow tinted, conical lights are hung over a fire pit at sunset. The sky is a beautiful gradient of red, orange, yellow, and violet. Silhouettes of plants are sticking up from the ground behind the fire pit.

Who else remembers the SARS turtles that were all over Detroit in the early 2000s?

I just remembered I saw Mort Crim staring at me through this tent at Funky Ferndale over the weekend.
A white tent that says "Majic" on the top in blue with a blue trim along the top that says "Built for you. Built for a lifetime." in white. A vertical banner inside the tent is showing through and the blurry details of an old white man in a suit can be seen.

Did you know Costco sells a cardboard cat scratch structure that looks like a cat themed Costco warehouse? Piquette is out here slinging hot dogs — and they're still only $1.50!

#Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #Meow #WelcomeToCostco #ILoveYou
A calico cat named Piquette peers through a window cutout from inside a box. The exterior design on the box is a replica of the Costco food court menu, offering hot dogs, pizza, and beverage. An image of a white cat on the left is wearing a chef's hat and a red bowtie, and on the right is a white cat licking its lips while wearing a white handkerchief with hearts on it.

If you're in Ferndale, MI this weekend for Funky Ferndale and the DIY Street Fair, check out @meganlui.art's booth in front of the Library Bookstore (next to Java Hutt, across the street from Rust Belt Market)! She has original paintings plus framed and unframed prints and they're all gorgeous! #art
A framed print of an abstract painting called "Off The Grid," featuring colorful patterns and textures. A red orange sun is in the upper right hand corner. Painted paper cranes are flying across the canvas. A framed print called "What The Mirror Holds." It's an abstract painting with lines, squares and textures that are mirrored horizontally with flying paper cranes painted. An abstract painting called "Memory In Bloom" that has flowers and lily pads painted over different patterns and textures with turquoise, brown, and purple hues. An abstract portrait painting called "Synchronize" of a person with a purple tint whose right eye is covered with a blossoming flower. There are multiple patterns and textures throughout the painting with diamond shapes.

Compare the current look of the front of Como's with all the brick work to this photo I took in February, 2005. They had to do a lot to get their reputation out of the gutter and it looks so much nicer now. Amazing what 20 years will do.

A photograph of Como's Restaurant in Ferndale, Michigan from 2005. It's a beige building with a red awning that says "Como's" in white above the entrance. On the side of the building are paintings of flowers and vines. The classic neon sign says "Como's" in red neon with "RESTAURANT" printed below it in black. There's a red neon star on top of the sign. This sign has been around since at least the 1960s.

Happy #Caturday from Popcorn, the world's best photography model!
A slightly blurry portrait of a fluffy cat with a white face and chest, brown forehead, green eyes, pink and brown nose, and a tiny orange mark under her nose that looks like a popcorn kernel. Her expression is one of annoyance and surprise, but in reality it was neither. She's just trying to rub up against my phone.

I took this in New Center on Third Street north of Grand Blvd in 2022, but I'm not sure if they're still there.
Two out of commission payphones with green cases against a brown wall that is painted white in the space between the phones. This was taken in New Center, Detroit in 2022 at a now-closed liquor store on Third Street north of Grand Blvd and west of Woodward.

A stunning sunset peeking through large billowing clouds with radiant rays of golden light casting downward onto a body of water that extends horizontally across the frame. The sky takes up the top 80% of the photo. The water is obfuscated by the silhouette of a road barrier and plant life.

What people think the 80s were like versus what the 80s were actually like.
Star by Patrick Nagel. A stylized painting of a feminine person looking to the left. The skin tone is white with wisping black hair. A large gold star earring is prominently displayed. Circa 1987: A little girl (me) with long dirty blonde hair smiles at the camera while she is surrounded by BROWN. Brown couch, brown and orange window curtain, brown ashtray on a brown table, brown lamp with light brown lampshade. The photo doesn't show it, but the carpet is dark brown as well.

A photograph of the corner of W. Menomonee Street and N. Lincoln Park West in Old Town, Chicago, Illinois. Pedestrians are crossing the street walking away from the camera. There is a green light pole with the street signs, a red fire hydrant, and a garbage can with a black garbage bag at the corner. A large two story house with green siding is in the background behind a white picket fence. This was at the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago in June, 2025.

Update: the party store repainted the exterior a few weeks ago and intentionally kept SpongeBob intact. No touchups, just carefully painted around him so he can still advertise on the side of the building.

On this #Caturday, I nominate Popcorn for the Nobel Peace Prize. She has never made anyone's life worse, only better. She has no enemies. She loves her LGBTQ+ friends. Her fur is perfect.

A fluffy tabby cat with a white belly named Popcorn is laying across a bed with her left hind leg extended and her right hind leg sticking up in the air. She looks comfortable and pleased with herself.
