I’m a Fan of Nutria

Our grandson showed us this pond where he knew that a nutria lived. It wasn’t shy at all.

It must have lots of fans besides me because it looked so well fed, not to say fat, that I’m sure it gets treats from many visitors to his watery abode.

Best of all, I think he liked me, too. Seeing what he brought over for me.

I’m a fan of … #133

Black Cat

Jude picked black as the November colour for her Life in Colour Challenge.

What better way to start black November than with Henry, the black cat in our life (who incidentally has draped himself over my arms while I am typing this, slowly numbing them)?

Here are some of the photos I took of Henry over time. He turned three in August. He wasn’t really planned for but he needed a home and he moved in.

Today the Cat Would Get out by Itself

A really old door. I remember when it wasn’t broken (which makes me old in turn, I guess). And I remember the story that my father had to climb down from window to the floor inside to rescue my grandma’s cat. Because the door was thick and strong and already rusted then and nobody had a key.

This is the whole tower where this is door can be found:

And yes, that is the back garden of my parents’ house.

The tower has been restored last year. I don’t like the smooth surface now but it was possibly the only way to keep it safe. Anyway, the gorgeous view of the other side remains the same:
