I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all
a 30-pound black terrier mix with gray in his face and beard struts toward the camera with his front right paw mid-step. he's wearing a light tan suit with a white collared shirt and a brown polka dot neck tie that matches his warm brown eyes. he is ready for his first day as CEO.

"The Virgin" by Gustav Klimt portrays an ethereal group of women intertwined with vibrant patterns and swirling motifs, characteristic of the artist's distinctive use of color and ornamentation. This painting reflects Klimt's exploration of themes related to femininity and the cycle of life.

Teruru, from Tachikawa City in Tokyo, is a “teru teru bōzu” (a small traditional doll made by children and believed to bring good weather), and he is “friends with the sky”.

The mascots of Oyama City are Fuunya, an orange-brown tabby, and his younger brother Mumunya, a grey tabby who clings to Fuunya’s head.

My goal for 2026 is to bring back "dreadful" as an adverb. It was good enough for Clementine, and it's good enough for today.

Portrait of Helene Klimt
https://botfrens.com/collections/109/contents/28470
In "Portrait of Helene Klimt," Gustav Klimt captures a serene profile of his niece, showcasing his early realistic style before embracing more abstract elements. The soft brushwork and muted color palette highlight delicate features and the elegant texture of her blouse, reflecting his attention to detail and familial affection.
