yesterday when i woke up i had a dog. today i don't. rip rosie, 2011-2025. you were the most amazing, perfect dog ever and i'm so grateful we found each other and got to spend 11.5 years together. i will miss you forever. 💔
my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie sitting on a rug and peering up at the camera, or rather the treat i had in my hand. her mustache is very magnificent in this picture. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie sitting in front of a sunny window, looking to the right and with her mouth open. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie lying down on paver stones on a screened patio. she is gazing to the right and her front paws are stretched out and touching. my black and white spaniel mix dog rosie lying on my bed. she's looking to the left and her mouth is slightly open from panting. this was the last picture i took, 2 days before i had to say goodbye.

when you're very cozy and you don't want to move but you're maybe a little too warm
my tuxedo tabby cat holly, lying curled up in a gray plush fleece bed with one back foot sticking out over the edge. the bed is on a cream colored rug with blue and red accents. holly is looking up at me with green eyes.

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

Happy possum
Here are several happy Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana). Some are carrying babies on their backs. Fallen leaves surround them. The atmosphere is cozy and warm.

This is Teena. She has heard your cotton ball jokes and is not impressed. 12/10 (IG: bichon_punta)
a bichon frise is sitting (or standing? laying down? hard to say, for reasons that will become apparent) on a light carpet and staring directly at the camera. her fur is teased out to form a perfect sphere, and her legs are nowhere in sight, so she just looks like a white orb with a little black nose and judgmental brown eyes. a very round blob of dog is looking up at you from a light carpet with wide, intrigued eyes. there’s just the faintest smudge of discoloration around her mouth, but you better not make her self-conscious about it. the round bichon is resting at the edge of an orange leathery sofa, but this time, her two front paws are hooked over the front edge of the seat, so we can confirm she actually has legs. jury was out until now.

my dilute calico cat noodle sitting on the top of a white kitchen cabinet. she is not supposed to be up there but she is smug and regrets nothing.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

if anyone needs a timeline cleanse please enjoy 20 seconds of sunrise colors and small waves breaking on the shore.

good morning from st augustine fl. the sunrise was particularly lovely and dramatic and i had a nice long morning walk on the beach to start my day.
sunrise on an east coast florida beach. the sand is very dark at the bottom. orange and gold light reflect off the water where it meets the shoreline. on the horizon there are colors ranging from dark gray at the bottom through red, orange, gold, pale yellow, and pink. a light blue is just starting to show at the top and there is part of a thin cloud at the top left. a zoomed in, dreamier look at the sunrise. the colors are the same as the previous picture but softer and more muted. there are black specks dotted across the sky, the silhouettes of pelicans and gulls circling and diving for breakfast.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration, made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago!

Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four pottery vessels, all a creamy yellow in colour, with black painted decoration depicting underwater sea-life featuring lively stylised octopuses with writhing tentacles (arms), All on display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. Top L - Minoan pithoid storage jar decorated in the “Marine Style” with wide-eyes octopus, argonauts, rocks, and coral. Rounded top tapering down to a narrower base. Short cyclindrical neck flaring out at the mouth with black wavy decoration reminiscent of waves. Loop handles attached to the shoulders of the body. Height 55 cm. From Zakros. 1500-1450 BC Top R - Minoan flask with a rounded body, short cyclindrical neck which flares at the rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the body. Decorated in “Marine Style” which depicts an almost cartoon-like octopus with wide eyes and sucker-lined tentacles which writhe around the vase. Other decorative sea-motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC Bottom L - alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck and a wider flat rimmed mouth. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC Bottom R - krater with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel. Decorated with a central very stylised wide-eyed octopus whose tentacles loop up and down around the body of the pot, 1370-1300 BC

It was this time last year that I was wholly distracted from pressing project deadlines by making this ragtag troupe. Currently resisting the pull to add new recruites...

good (late) morning from st augustine fl
the beach on a sunny east coast florida day. the waves are pretty gentle and in colors of pale green through teal and dark blue. there's a bit of white foam on the breakers and at the bottom is a glimpse of pale tan sand. the sky is a pale blue.

i'm one of the weirdos who got the tillamook special edition butternaise and it was just delivered. haven't tried it yet but the packaging is absolutely ridiculous and unhinged. i could probably fit 4 pairs of shoes in a box that holds a small jar, 2 packs of sliced cheese, and a small spreader.
