Mouse and bear

It has been another grey, rainy day, a day for staying home, a day for tidying shelves and hard drives, for making soup and posing as cat furniture. In a folder labelled "everything but the kitchen sink" I found photos I should have posted ages ago. Good fodder for rainy days.

This one is from October, 2020, on Baikie Island.

Part of a two-bear carved seat.

The mouse is unfortunately deceased. Some passerby must have moved him off the path and left him to dry in the sunshine.

Hoy fue otro de esos dias de lluvia, sin color, todo gris. Un dia para quedarse en casa, un dia para limpiar estantes y para organizar los archivos en el disco duro, para preparar una sopa nutritiva, para convertirme en mueble para gatos.

En un archivo con el nombre de "todo menos el fregadero" encontré fotos que debiera haber subido hace tiempo ya. Buena provisión para los dias de lluvia.

La foto es de parte de un banco "dos osos" al lado del camino en la Isla Baikie. El ratoncito, pobrecito, ya había fallecido. Algún transeunte lo había colocado en el lomo del oso para secarse al sol.

Forgotten photos

I've spent hours digging through my spare hard drive looking for a couple of photos for a post I'm working on. I've only found one, so far. Still, it wasn't wasted time; my files are more in order now, and I discovered some good photos that I'd forgotten I had.

Pacific forktail, Van Dusen Gardens, 2009

Merlin on a pole, 2009, I don't remember where.

Sasha, at 18 years old, now absent but sorely missed.

Turtles on a rock, Van Dusen Gardens

A very fuzzy photo of a shy mouse behind a flower pot. An outside mouse, not a house pest.

And just because I like it, crazy or not; garden string.

Tomorrow, photos or no photos, an ordinary fruit that suddenly turns out to be weird.
