GRIMM - odd family, odd friends, inclusion, self-sacrifice, doing the right thing, good fight scenes and monsters -human and otherwise. What's not to love?

Nabi here: are they watching a movie or shooting each other? Around here I'm glad mom doesn't have a gun. It would be "Who left this lying around!" BANG! BANG! BANG!

Aren't there rescues that will trap, neuter, and release out you way? Life might be easier for him then.

This just looks like a Gustav Klimt painting.

Can't tell you how many of these I have helped escort out of some kind of traffic over the years.

Can't decide if this is peaceful winter sunset or the eerie beginning of a movie.

Reminds me to check the channel that does kitschy Vincent Price movies every Saturday morning. The sets are a furniture buff's dream.

Nabi here: only mom gets to tickle me behind the ears, which I love...until I bite, which is a proper cat reaction that says I am an independent wild animal that I allow you to feed and house. I am not a cuddle toy...now you may resume.

#nature

Another of my grey day pics, although it was sunny and bright today.
As I left the barn, about a 1/4 mile from where this was taken, I SAW A BOBCAT! Highlight of my day!

Dark blue grey skies above green forests.

Never been. I love the immensity of the mountains and the vastness of the landscape.

Update on tobacco #Farming

The freezing of tobacco leaves hung to dry would ruin the texture.

So if there's moisture in the crop and a frost, you insulate the tobacco barn and heat it.

This shows early morning smoke escaping the barn. Most barns are empty now, but this one is still drying.

A grey wooden tobacco barn is wrapped in plastic to insulate it; smoke billows out of the barn from fires lit to help keep the tobacco inside from freezing and to assist drying.

The problem with dogs who have their own agendas because we bred them to. My floof is half Great Pyrenees and half Australian Shepherd. He knows how to alert us to any noise, strangers, squirrels, jet airplanes that might endanger his flock of people and cats.

#Flyday #Birdsinflight

For my birding friends, from a book on animals in art, "A Mother's Courage." Thought this historical print of a failed eagle attack might interest you.

Info in alt

Copy of black and white engraved print showing a mother mountain goat standing on a ledge, her kid behind her, shielded. She fends off the attack of an eagle. She has a few feathers in her horns, and a feather drifts through the air as the eagle flies off. Discoloration is reflection in the glass over the framed print.

You are every bit as cool as gamers who fought monsters in"Metro." And your first shot resembles a monster filled hallway from the game.

One of the best kdramas was It's Okay to Not be Okay. And some of the best use of fairytales in it, too. Numerous acting awards, all well deserved.
