That would be a photo if you could arrange a good background. Or do you mean he carries her around with the forklift?
With the forklift? Lol. Good one. I try to get those pix and they are often blurry. It seems they both need the interaction. It's not as if Jack sneaks up and grabs her by the skin behind her neck and runs off with her. Usually she's asking for it. He picks her up as a mother cat would carry her kittens. If he gets too rough she let's him know.

The best you will get that I have at this time. She's clearly asking for it.

Here she is with her sister Booger before she decided she prefers living at the neighbors.

Anyone care to guess why her name is Booger? Lol

Have been noticing the nice reflected light in this area off the glassy water early mornings. So took a little walk.

The Carolinas got hit by the "Saskatchewan Screamer" today. My town got off easy: about an inch of snow/sleet and about 2-3mm of ice. And the power went off for an hour this afternoon.

Greenville, Spartanburg and Charlotte got 5-6 inches of snow. The NC mountains got a foot or so.

You folks in the Boswash corridor can have fun with it tomorrow. :-p

What a difference a decade made
The night life days of glory are long gone. I randomly walked up this street in postcard. Most places are abandoned degraded.

I heard a thump the other day which sounded like somebody banging on a window, but only one thump. After a bit of investigation I found this on our downstairs toilet window:
IMG_20220129_103818.jpg

If the toilet door is open then there's a line of sight from parts of our back garden through the toilet window to the window in the front door. Both windows are frosted glass, but you can see light. My guess is something spooked a pigeon (probably one of the many foxes around here) and it tried to get out of Dodge through our house, not realising that there was something in the way. There was no dead bird or piles of feathers, only a grease print on the window, so I guess it survived the attempt.

I need to clean the window now...

We get waxwings (and sometimes robins or juncos) swarming the chokecherry and crabapple trees and then flying around drunkenly, supposedly because the fruit is fermented. Also a kestral, a Cooper's hawk and another hawk chasing small birds. I have hawk stickers, but Audubon says they are ineffective (they suggest many stickers at intervals of a few cm). The birds see a reflection of the sky. Is your window frosted on the inside or outside?

Inside.

We've lived here twelve years and this is the only time I've seen this, so I don't think we're a terrible danger to birds. But your comment about reflecting the sky is interesting - a neighbour recently cut down a tree, which might have opened up new angles for sky reflection. I'll have a look round at the weekend.

Long before color-sensitive film was invented, Russian photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky took 3 individual black and white photos, each with a filter (red, blue, and green) to create high-quality photos in full color. This self-portrait is over 110 years old!

I take nearly all my astrophotos that way. (Well, I don't use film anymore -- the monochrome camera plus filters is what I mean.) Even today, that method still has several advantages.

Amazon recently delivered these two nice coffee cups to me: :smile:

NASA:

I like the black one the most. I think it looks very good (not just on photo).
