A wind-blown US Flag outside.
A grey and white cat drinking water out of my glass. This is from 2020. Refi (bless her feline heart) has gone to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for Felines. Video taken on my iPhone8. Clip was trimmed from a larger vid. Refi came by her name because my wife found her outside the mortgage company on her way to work one chill morning. Brought her home for several years of pleasant company. For us, at least, we hope for her too.
A black and white cat sleeping soundly (well, with an eye peeking) atop a TV set-top box. This is from 2019. Luigi (bless her feline heart) has long since gone to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for Felines. Photo taken on my iPhone. No post-processing save size reduction.
From 2015, a grey, black and white cat peers (sneers, perhaps) out of a Macy's Christmas shopping bag lying on its side,
Luigi, a black and white cat, apparently engrossed in the TV image of an on-going soccer game. Hard to say more; this is from 2015. Luigi (bless her feline heart) has long since gone to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for Felines. Photo taken on my iPhone 4S. No post-processing save reduce size.
Two TWA Constellations at (I think) Philadelphia Airport in 1961 or 62. I was there as a Navy recruit going to San Diego RTC (1961) or flying to New York for an onward flight to Naples to report to duty assignment with NATO (1962) Front one, just starting the outboard engine, is a Constellation, while behind it is a Super G Constellation.
An informative sign announcing Fallingwater, provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, declaring Fallingwater a Commonwealth treasure.
A red colored ball cap with a Pride Rad Sox logo and "Red Sox" in the bill in braille. (Glad I checked the translation!)
A lilac bush (I think) in bloom late May, 2025. It is ten to twelve feet (3.3 to 4 meters) high and covered in light purple flowers six inches (15 cm) across.
A spider (sorry, I'm not able to identify it beyond eight-legged) on the garage door frame, ignoring my attempts to fly the flag. Since there's nothing to give scale, from end of long leg to end of long leg is about 2 and a half inches (6 or 7 cm).
A US Flag flying outside the garage of a grey house. A slight breeze ruffles the flag.
