Looking out my kitchen window

Not something I see often when I look out my kitchen window. My yucca, normally accustomed to mild Greek winters, dressed all in white.

#38 & #39 Feel-good Flick for Friday

I've missed two Fridays but I'm making it up on a Saturday.


NOT FORGOTTEN

Get ready to go awwwwww, it's cute overload.
Created by Vancouver Film School student Dewi Sari through the VFS Digital Character Animation program.



BALLOONS

Let's face it. We've all had our run-ins with these thin, inflatable rubber bags. Funny animation by Joseph Kim.

Stray cat strut











What a night! It's mating season for cats and it seemed that all the stray feline mammals in Athens rendez-voused at our block last night. The night was filled with high-pitched wails of vagabond cats in heat.

Having grown up in quiet US suburbia, stray cats and their love rituals were foreign to me. It wasn't until I moved to Athens, where there are two stray cats for every Athenian, that I first heard the love cat call. I remember waking up in the middle of night thinking someone had left a tortured baby at our doorstep. The amorous wailing is hard for the human ear, especially with SO many stray cats looking for some hot stuff baby this evening [disco ball lights up, feline Donna Summer at the mike].

Foodscapes

It's a good thing this photographer didn't listen to his mama about not playing with his food.
Astonishing artwork and concept by Carl Warner.
Go to the second orange folder in "fotographics" for "foodscapes". Everything in the photo is edible. The wheel is a mushroom, the castle made of cheese, etc.


#37 Feel-good Flick for Friday

Blackmore's Night: Under The Violet Moon
Guaranteed to make you feel good if you sing along the HEYS!



Dancing to the feel of the drum
Leave this world behind
We'll have a drink and toast to ourselves
Under a Violet Moon

Tudor Rose with her hair in curls
Will make you turn and stare
Try to steal a kiss at the bridge
Under a Violet Moon

Raise your hats and your glasses too
We will dance the whole night through
We're going back to a time we knew
Under a Violet Moon

Cheers to the Knights and days of old
the beggars and the thieves
living in an enchanted wood
Under a Violet Moon

Fortuneteller what do you see
Future in a card
Share your secrets, tell them to me
Under a Violet Moon

Close your eyes and lose yourself
In a medieval mood
Taste the treasures and sing the tunes
Under a Violet Moon

Tis my delight on a shiny night
The season of the year
To keep the lanterns burning bright
Under a Violet Moon
