I just realized I haven’t introduced my miniature donkey to Blue Sky. He’s about 36 inches high and he guards the pasture from coyotes. True story.

This is Gus❤️

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.

The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

Goodnight.
🖼️ Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Ōji,
Utagawa Hiroshige,
c.1857.
Description from The Met: ‘Foxes gather at the large, old enoki (hackberry) tree on New Year's Eve to prepare to pay homage at the Ōji Inari shrine, the headquarters of the Inari cult in eastern Japan (Kantō). The cult centers on the god of the rice field, for whom the fox serves as messenger. On the way to Ōji, the foxes have set a number of kitsunebi (foxfires), which farmers count to predict the upcoming rice harvest. Hiroshige's print successfully conveys the mysterious atmosphere of the rite as the procession of foxes bearing fires approaches from the distant, dark forest under a starry sky.’

Needlework samplers are examples of embroidery or cross-stitching produced as a demonstration of skill and often traditionally carried a moral or spiritual message....

Harold Harvey depicts the view from his home in Cornwall (The Blue Door, 1931). I’m enjoying the small details ~ the shadow of the tablecloth on the ground, the small rainbow of light on the shiny door, the unobtrusive cat at lower R (Private Collection)

Mother, no. Photo from my collection, no date or other info.
Black and white photo of a young white woman in winter clothing, squatting outside on a rural road with a tabby kitten between her knees. She's making the kitten stand up on its hind legs by holding up its forelegs, but it seems quite gentle. The cat looks displeased but not in any distress.
