Silhouettes on the Shade

It is getting colder. The days are shorter.

The children are back to school. They want hot drinks before bed
and then do not want to get out of bed.

Summer is over.

But there is some fun to be had with a lower sun and the direction of light. .

Silhouettes and shadows are everywhere.

Morning contrasts.

Gates and fences.

Have a seat.

Misty is not impressed.

As black cats are shadow and silhouette personified
she finds the whole thing rather tiresome.

Ebony and Ivory

Please, let me introduce Laika.

Laika likes coming to our house for dinner and a play in the garden with the kids.

She loves going to school, the pub and our local oolong cafe.

She is particularly fond of salmon and children.

She likes to eat salmon, not children.

Laika has an interesting story, but I will have to clear up which parts she is happy for me to write about.

She is a private and sensitive soul.

She takes me out for walks, for which I am grateful.

Misty isn't so keen.

But she is coming around.

I hope.
