#caturday the Pint-Sized Princess and The Creature.

(Bluebell, Amber).

They've been best friends since I brought Amber home - a strange, bug-eyed goblin thing from the cat colony, that I'd caught instead of Cappuccino.

Bluebell: "IS ANYONE GOING TO LOOK AFTER THIS POOR CHILD!!"

Lusha of course enjoying herself and looking.. majestic. Mostly.

This was magical to see.. pity my phone didn't capture it well.

Sunset over the river cliff, small insects reflecting the light and dancing like sparks.

Escape to the river in this heat.

This is the 'Blueberry walk', which is remote and quiet (and involves a lot of scrambling!)

Eowyn, when not barking her fool head off, generally struggles for consciousness.

Somehow this small stunted pear tree, clinging to a crumbling house and a few m^2 of vertical railway embankment, produces luscious pears every year.

(Meanwhile my 3 lavishly tended ones at home produce once a decade if I'm lucky..)

Judging by the fat little buds it should be a bumper year for fruit..

#PhotoOfTheDay #PearTree

Writers: here are ten free and easy ways to add a dash of visual interest to your blog posts without resorting to AI imagery (which signals to readers that your blog post is probably also AI and there’s no need to bother reading it):

1) A thoughtful photo you’ve taken yourself — a nice sunrise you saw, a cool angle spotted on vacation, your pet curled up on the couch, flowers. Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person.

2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing

4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page

5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde

6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens

7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure

8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6

9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets https://www.mapeditor.org

10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post.

@Frieke72

In Polish you add "usha" to the end of a name to denote affection, especially to little kids.

My mum would call her "Lou Lou" (Wolfie)

Which became Lou-lousha..

Then Lusha.
