Studies in grey

For the Cosmic Photo Challenge: 50 shades of grey I tried to pick photos which were naturally (almost) monochrome, either because of the subject or because of the quality of the prevailing light.

And – believe it or not – we humans were the ones behind the fence.  And the shepherd at the back of this herd kept shouting: “Close the gate, close the gate! They’ll overrun you!”

“The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.”

– J. R. R. Tolkien

This is part of a group depicting the night in the garden Gethsemane when all the disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed.

Cats of course, are champion sleepers.  This one slept next to a busy road and had made this flower pot his own.  A potted cat, so to speak.

It doesn’t look comfortable but it must be – at the moment this is our cats favourite place for a snooze.

And this picture is – for me – pure bliss.  Falling asleep while reading a book …  without the dummy, for preference though.
