Beautiful Mollie

img_5047This beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback sat next to me at the Barking Dog Ale House here in Ballard.  But, sadly, I overheard the waiter tell Mollie’s owners that from now on dogs will not be allowed to accompany their owners in the restaurant/pub.  That is bad news,  For me that’s half the reason for going there.  Each time I have lunch there I usually see at least one or more interesting well behaved dogs.

Cat On Barn Steps

This is an old photo and rather faded but I like it all the same.  The cat was in my sister’s barn maybe 30+ years ago – younger days.  At that time we were visiting from Bangladesh and the farm and all the animals were extra special.  I am extra partial to cats – and the browns and grays in this photo – and the memories it evokes.

A Rare Pig Breed

2018_10_28_11_38_32.pdf000  I was quite taken by this article in a recent issue of the New York Times  What unusual coloring.  I loved the photo with the contesting shades of light and dark.  I saved it for future inspiration – a writing theme or something in textiles.
