Friends! Today is #FathersDay and I would like to send love to our Dad, our Grandpa, and all the wonderful Dads and Grandads out there. I would also like to honour our own Baby Dog, who stepped up when the Kittens needed a Father Figure. The love he has for them is unlike any love I’ve ever seen ❤️

Listening to an interview of a woman whose husband was taken by ICE. It’s very like the family stories I heard about Kristallnacht, but without the broken glass, and spread out rather than on one day. People desperate to get family members back but no idea how, and opposition at every point.

No, this isn't an Ai image of Ukraine's President Zelensky as Emperor Nero - it's is a genuine autochrome of cosplayers recreating a Classical vignette in Belgium in 1912, taken in colour by Alfonse van Besten 113 years ago. I've cleaned-it up for you, but it is original colour, not colourised.

Corot's France is a melancholically beautiful place, wan and silvery. He was anything but an avant-garde artist, though he championed Gustave Courbet and was himself celebrated by the poet Charles Baudelaire. This work 'Les maisons Cabassud à Ville d'Avray,' dates from 1840.

Friends! Who has had a Stressful Week and needs some #MalcysMindfulMoments to start the weekend? I love it when Mum and I sneak out into the Garden in the Very Early Morning and spend some quiet time together. We admire the roses (flourishing this year), listen to the birds, and watch the sun rise.

"Farmers at Rest" - this autochrome by the brothers Auguste & Louis Lumière was taken around 120 years ago. I have cleaned & enhanced this beautiful study of farmers, resting by their cottage in France. It is original colour taken between 1904-7, and is not colourised.

'Chadding in Mount's Bay,' was Stanhope Forbes' principal contribution to the Royal Academy summer exhibition in 1902. One of the enduring qualities of his work throughout a 70-year career is the faithful recording of Cornwall and Cornish life.

'Meadow Stream.' (c1916) Elioth Gruner was one of Australia's most popular and sucessful painters of the inter-war years who explored the power of painting contre-jour, directly into the sunlight; this is a typically modest image but one with remarkable vision.

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

Outrageous! The Trump administration's manhandling of Senator @AlexPadilla is a stark reminder of their blatant disregard for democracy and the rule of law. Lawmakers must condemn this unacceptable behavior and demand accountability!

Friends! At Bedtime every night, Ron runs and hides, and Mum has to find him and coax him out. It’s not hard to find him (he always hides in the same place!) but it’s always a challenge to get him out. Percy and Cleo won’t go to bed without him. Mum says it’s like dealing with toddlers again!

Clarice Beckett’s 'Sandringham Beach,' (1933) is a modern scene depicted from a cliff looking down onto a beach. Captured in the glare of a summer's day, the compacted sand shimmers with the heat of the sun; the beach huts are the most solid aspects of the composition.
