Cher public,
Je suis ravi de partager avec vous mon dernier travail, une pièce qui fusionne divers matériaux pour créer une expérience visuelle unique. En tant que peintre, j'ai travaillé avec plusieurs matériaux tels que le bois, le cuir, les coquillages, une coquille d'œuf, une lampe et même une vraie langue pour donner vie à cette œuvre. Chaque élément a été soigneusement intégré pour enrichir la composition et susciter une gamme d'émotions pour vous. J'espère que cette combinaison inhabituelle de matériaux vous captivera autant qu'elle m'a inspiré. Il y a aussi des ailes de papillon.
Cordialement, Zephi

She's out! Back home already!
Dory sez:
"Phew! that was a close one! Back home now thanks to Brushtail Mousie! I was being held in the Poleeces cells (Cat Block), sitting on the lap of a very friendly Poleeces Woman and making big innocent eyes and purring noises trying to get her to release me. She had to ask permission from her boss first though.
In the meantime there was a little knock at the back door. The Poleeces Woman opened the door and there stood a furry little mouse wif' a red bushie tale carrying what seemed to be a brown-coloured envelope. Brushtail! - who else?
After being allowed in to the Poleeces Station by the Poleeces Woman, she, the Poleeces Woman asked to inspect the brown envelope.
"Yes Brushtail there is a pile of banknotes in there and they smell as if they have just been freshly printed?
"Yes, that's right" said Brushtail. "I printed them m'self on m' brand new high-res digital printer! Aren*t they beautiful? If you let my friend Dory go, you can keep them!
Poleeces Woman sez:
"Well now, that's very kind of you Brushtail. Of course I'll release her right now. I'm sending you both home with a bag of best CatNIp for Dory, and a selection bag of finest gourmet cheeses for you!"
The two rogues then scarpered off home together as fast as their little paws could carry them - before she had time to change her mind!
Editor's note:
It's amazing that Brushtail Mousie wasn't locked up on a charge of counterfeiting? Maybe the Poleeces Woman didn't understand this serious crime or she maybe didn't notice it? Or she just forgot? Or she just couldn't be bothered? Whatever, this was a win-win for everybody and a happy ending for the crooks as well!.

Eider ducks with Inner Farne Island
The largest, innermost and most historic of the Farne Islands is Inner Farne. For many years Inner Farne was the home of St Cuthbert who lived in solitude. St Cuthbert had a reputed gift of healing which brought pilgrims from all over the Kingdom of Northumbria. Island of the Pilgrims, or ‘Farena Ealande’ is the source of the islands name.
Today the Farne Islands are an incredibly important wildlife reserve, home to many species including Puffin, Eider, Razorbill, Guillemot, Shag, Kittiwake and Fulmar. There is also a large colony of grey seals which breed through the autumn and winter months.

The bill passed both legislative houses but was vetoed by then-governor George Deukmejian, a humorless stuffed shirt if there ever was one. Still, Ariolimax remains as the mascot of the University of California at Santa Cruz and beloved forest spirit of all small children who visit the redwoods.

"Oh noes! i has just been rehoused to a hole! I FINKS I could now be a little mousie?
It could have its advantages though. I mite be more intelljent than I was before as a cat. Look at Brushtail Mousie for example. She has an IQ of over 4 Gazillon!"

Dory needs a little chilling out!
Dory sez:
"OK, enuf of these pointless pontifications. It won't change the world view of these BunBuns anyways. What a waste of time and energies!
Feelin' a bit tyred now. Catch ya all laters when I wakes up!
😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽 😽
Dory is admiring The BunBuns enjoing themselves!
Dory sez;
"Oh, just look at that now! These BunBuns are enjoying themselves enormously, running around and playing in the sunshine showing off their little white bobtails as if they didn't have a care in the whole world. I wouldn't mind being one m'self! They are the exact antithesis of that successful and serious-minded workaholic Brushtail Mousie!
The time is coming though, when they will start to regret their former carefree and lackadaisical ways, at which point reality will start to kick in, which will make them realise the error of their ways! Way to go you furry BunBuns!

Maple Magic
One of my neighbors has a Japanese maple tree in their front yard. It's beautifully shaped - like a bonsai tree would be. Every fall, just before the leaves drop, they turn the most intense red - particularly when backlit against the sky. Every time I walk by I think of maple magic.

Lyle Kirk, Greenock, although it would appear if there are two such named churches in Greenock.
Rhum and Eigg
Viewed from Ardnamurchan with Meall Sanna on the right. Everything you see in the foreground is pretty much Great Eucrite. (Gabbro). The Great Eucrite in this site forms one of the most perfect annular intrusions in the British Tertiary Volcanic Province (BTVP); it gives rise to a nearly complete ring of hills which dominates the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

Yvoire, France
Yvoire is a medieval village in France by the Lake of Geneva. We arrived at this cosy village by a boat we took in Nyon, Switzerland. It was an enjoyable voyage.
Honor and Respect
There are fewer veterans on parade every remembrance day. That's a good thing, I suppose. Though, with two major wars going on at the moment and a few smaller ones, that may change. I sincerely hope that one day we can all figure out how to get along with each other! In the mean time, the men and women who stood up for Canada with so much sacrifice, deserve honor and respect.
