In a combination of #TombTuesday and #CatsOfMastodon, I bring you the final resting place of wee Caty, in the Asnières-sur-Seine, France--the oldest pet cemetery in Europe. Since its founding in 1899, tens of thousands of animals, famous and humble, have been interred. The French inscription on the stone reads, "To Caty. To you who have long been my faithful companion, I keep your immortal image in my heart, 1948-1957."
Oh! Today is #visiblewomen day and I almost forget! 😀
I'm Teresa and I draw and paint, mostly cats, with very different styles 😺😻😸
Morning! (just!
)
Heres a new poster for Hot Fuzz, along with some process pics 🚨
Periodic reminder that, here in Switzerland, they don't bother so much with statues of national heroes and monarchs. Here in the nation's capital, we have the Chindlifrässerbrunne (Fountain of the Eater of Little Children) instead.

We saw an albino deer with the herd in the park tonight. It required me to go into the woods and use the zoom on my phone. Oh and a sunset if you like those things.
Have a great evening everyone! 🌆 I need a snack and a puff, not sure what order yet? 🤔
Pictures all taken around 7:15pm CST in Arnold City Park.

It’s harvest time on the island, and so, there’s MUCH food around me. I’m not complaining at all, in fact I’m very proud of my mate Abbie, who grew, harvested and then baked her own sourdough. She hosted “Rye Fest” on her property over a glorious autumnal Sunday arvo. A happy intersection of design and foodie culture. #rye #harvest #farming #tasmania
I’m a bit adrift here, but hello! I’ll plan to share my A+ political team’s work and — you guessed it — #Michigan political observations here. Proud to be covering the most politically interesting state with the prettiest lakes.
Spoiler alert: reveals completed jigsaw puzzle
Flurry of Wildflowers by Erin Hanson. Design by David Figueiras and Gema Palacio. 553 pieces. Made by Artifact Puzzles.
We love Erin Hanson's paintings, so any puzzle featuring one is a must-do for us.
This has about as high a piece count as we like to go these days. With two people, it took about five hours maybe, spread over three days. A good eye for color really helps in the early stages, and we always felt we were making slow but steady progress.
The larger piece count allowed the designers to include big multi-piece "whimsy" flowers, as well as groupings of smaller whimsies around the edge. It's difficult to figure out what's happening with these as you piece the puzzle together, but you appreciate the artistry towards the end.
All in all, one of our favorite puzzles from Artifact.

Looks like the penguins in the wall by the old Flint Mill on the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow are enjoying a good read in today's sunshine.

Like clockwork, every other editorial comment in Germany is predictably outraged that one can actually notice a transportation workers' strike on a Monday. Their strike is having an impact? The audacity. 🙄 #ThereIsPowerInAUnion

I've spent the last week hiking the Cotswold Way with @andywasley (and, for some sections, adventure dog Loki). Rainbows, hills, pubs, wild garlic, excellent conversation – what an adventure.
Reduce, reuse, recycle... repair!
This week, we proposed the ‘right to repair’ initiative, which will make it easier and cheaper for consumers to #repair defective goods.
By repairing more goods and using them longer, #EU consumers can not only enjoy sustainable consumption but will also achieve considerable savings!
