Gotta wonder what this inert military equipment did to earn the wrath of the local seagulls that they're like "fuck THIS cannon in particular". The other ones don't have as much splatter. (Suomenlinna, Helsinki, Finland)

Smol murder cat has been activated. No toes are safe. #caturday #ProofOfCat

A small grey cat is sprawled out and twisted on a pale wood floor. The cat has white paws, chin, and chest. She was lying on her right side, but has twisted her front end onto her back, with her front paws stretched over her head in a prepared-to-attack position. Her yellow eyes are glaring at the photographer's (most probably) vulnerable toes.

Smudge was disappointed in my missing the #caturday post of him doing his seal impression, so here it is belatedly. #ProofOfCat

A mostly-white and mackeral tabby cat is lying on his right side on a blood-red carpet. He's got his head raised off the carpet and looking off to the right of the image. He's got his front paws curled up against his chest and his rear legs together yet splayed slightly like the limbs of a seal.

I have a dilemma. I discovered that a painting from 2008 has scratches that go thru the paint layers. I can either destroy or rework it. Reworking it will change the composition (and I don't remember what sort of oil medium, if any, I used for it back then). #art #painting

A long horizontal painting is on a paint-spattered work table. The painting composition is an abstracted interpretation of a garden plant with large broad leaves. It looks like a multi-colour explosion of amorphous flat shapes radiating from the centre-bottom of the canvas
