A little more of the Autumnal feel to the sunset this evening, a bit of bite in the air. #autumn #fall #tree #trees #sunset #dusk #RoyalHospitalKilmainham #Dublin8 #Mastodaoine #HospitalFields

@MarkMaguire which animal do you se3 here?
Been there a while ago with my missus and couldn't agree.
She says a cat, I think something like a weasel šŸ˜Ž

@maddler Ha! I thought it was a cat. Now youā€™ve made me very unsure ā€¦

@MarkMaguire yeah, not 100% about the weasel (slimmer) but I know it reminds me of something else. šŸ¤£

@MarkMaguire e.g. the red panda.

@maddler The piece is called ā€œEscaped Animalsā€ so I guess in theory the Red Panda across the river in the zoo could get loose in these here parts ā€¦ but I think Mrs. @maddler mightā€™ve called it with the cat. šŸ˜„

@maddler Donā€™t know why I never did this before, but I searched online for ā€œEscaped Animalsā€, ā€œJulian Opieā€ and ā€œCatā€. The bad news for you, but good news for your missus is that the interwebz seems to agree with her (not 100% definitively - itā€™s just that circumstantially thereā€™s a lot of mentions of cats and absolutely nothing about any of the other interpretations).
*Bangs gavel*
šŸ‘Øā€āš–ļø I hearby find in favour of Mrs. @maddler and the art cats of Mastodon. šŸˆ

@MarkMaguire art is a multifaceted thing, observed thru the prism of the observers' eyes.
I stand my ground! šŸ¤£
