[ A close view of a bit of half-buried root; the wood grain curls in waves like the sea in stormy weather. ] This is a really nice place to spend the winter; I’m really enjoying it here. A yard full of Ponderosas, the mountains rising in the distance, & above it all, that deep […]

[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby, stands facing the camera, one eye squinted mostly shut. ] I’ve been carrying a basket of pendulums & other new stuff around for the last three months, not getting around to taking pictures of them so I can get them posted, but I finally got round to it

[ A small tree, trunk maybe three inches in diameter, arches across the path; Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, stands just on this side, both forepaws on a fallen log. ] Okay it’s more a ‘slightly mysterious tree arch’ than a looking glass but that sounded better.
