Some Random Holiday Observations

Here are some random photos from our last holiday:

1.  Us at a waterfall (do I look worried to you?)


2. One of the locals at our Lefkada place fishing for crabs.  We saw her catch  couple of them.  She only had one good eye.  I wonder if a crab poked her in the other one???  She kept trying to make friends with me.  I think she was just trying to wheedle her way into favour with my humans.  Despite appearances two tiny orange spots on the side you can see, define her as a calico cat.


3 and 4: Gourd growing wild on the roadside, and a cross on a hillside near Aggrinio

5.  Get your coffee here (Arta)

6 & 7: Rock designs (F posted lots of these on her instagram because it is sea-worn patterns in sediment and some had fossils in them.  Fossils don't do it for me.) and Roman Cypress.  There are lots of these candle shaped trees in Greece.  They used to be associated with cemeteries.  Now they are everywhere being 'structural elements' in the natural landscape.

8.  OK Mum we can stop posing now....
9. Rainy day occupation
Good night.

      F said the rocks were fabulous and nearly did a whole photo post just of rocks. I will only let her hijack my blog for stuff like that when i don't have something of my own to post. The day will come.... Mr T

      Dear YAM-aunty, my humans have 100s of random photos of stuff, places, me, .... (we could fill posts until Christmas) but most of them mean nothing to anyone but us. And F takes 100s just to get one or 2 that look representative; art isn't even a consideration so anything well composed is an accident. xxx Mr T

      Hmmmm - I was actually but F kept foiling my attempts to explore the woods. I can go places she can't.

      We hadn't either till we saw her running off with one waving its legs out either side of her firmly clamped jaws.

      😺🤣 maybe it was quality street-coffee (slightly different interpretation), but we hadn't noticed that bit till you pointed it out. Must look closer at stuff.

    I am out of blog post material, I need to take a lesson from you, Tigger and get OUT THERE where things are happening and being SEEN... yes, you do look worried, and at the end you look Precious! the gourd brought back memories. I lived in the state of Kentucky, USA from age 10 to 15. Gourds like this one were every where. We moved there from Georgia and had never seen a gourd. the school had out door restrooms and a bucket under a hand pump for water, the bucket had a gourd much like this one, but hollowed out into a dipper to drink from. I refused to drink from the same gourd others used.

      How do you know when a gourd is ripe? F wanted that one but not if it was going to collapse i to mush. There are lots of questions like that pinging around in our house - about how humans did stuff before there was moulded plastic. xxx Mr T

    Cypress trees and conifers etc are really popular here, mostly because of their structural styles, I've got a little one in a pot on the deck.
