This is my late-night companion, who will stay with me on the sofa all night as long as I keep thumping his flank and scratching his ears. And when I make my late-night evaluations of a new camera body before entering it into service, he just stares at me until I resume thumping.

No. The 2nd amendment isn’t so private citizens could fight the government. That’s a right wing lie. It was for slave holding states to form militias against slave rebellions and defend slavery. — Historian Carol Anderson Uncovers The Racist Roots Of The 2nd Amendment www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1...

She climbed up and sat beside me, and immediately assumed her relaxed pose, and I did my favorite maneuver when I have a 24mm lens on, which is to hold the camera out front and just start pressing the shutter release, trusting autofocus and aiming by looking at the front of the lens.

Forlorn birds stared at the empty feeder for days. At last we filled it. They stayed away for a whole day just to pout. Now they need air traffic control.

There’s this needlepoint tissue box cover which her mom made for her great-grandmother, and every time she comes across it, she puts it on her head, and it fits perfectly. She’s not posing here; she’s just being happy because she has once again found her favorite headdress.
