Thanks very much
Calm water reflecting an orange sunset behind a line of dark mountain silhouettes. Trees and small buildings appear in shadow along the shoreline, while the soft orange glow spreads across the sky and ripples gently across the surface of the river.

Cat 1 still a kitten really
Unlucky cat comes onto our community and gets trapped
50/50 been around for two years at least and has had 2 kits now she will be able to live her best life
In the truck off to the vets
3 feral cats captured and off to the vets for โdoctoringโ no more little kits to worry about in our community. No 3 is 50/50 who has had 2 kits already no 2 is a random cat who walked onto the community and got unlucky/lucky #cats #caturday ๐โโฌ ๐ paid for via sales of my art work
itโs still #caturday so introducing Blue Cat one of the three cats we live with. #cat #cats
Wide view of vibrant green vegetable fields where three farmers sit working among the crops. Rows of leafy greens dominate the foreground and middle ground, with small greenhouses, village buildings, and misty mountains forming the background landscape.
Feeding the Chinese people is an imporatnt job, just down the road are the #green fieelds full of vegetables. As one drives past on the electro bike the different smells add another variable to the experience, the pungent onion, the floral rape seed oil, the turned earth #ColoraDay #GreenSat #scape
Saturday, time for some Malian music to brighten the day.
I travelled on my own to the Malian border through Gambia but on advice at the time didn't cross, because it was dangerous. Back through Senegal to Banjul by bush taxi.
Gotta love the #music

From the coffee shop by the apartments - Friday afternoon after teaching and the mountains that a day or two ago were shrouded in mist and cloud and rain. #scape #mountans #china

This is an interesting series - Ive been watching from the beginning, a couple of years now - 1700 miles in a Tiny Speedboat < guy circumnavigating the UK in a tiny Avon inflatable. The journey is almost finished now.
Black-and-white photograph of modern streetlights glowing against a misty mountain landscape. Low clouds drift across the hills in the background, partially hiding power line towers, while bare tree branches frame the scene in the foreground.
The mountains I see everyday. Notice how they look like a woman reclining in a bubble bath created by the low cloud/mist #scape #coloraday #BWFri #Photography #Photographer
Yay - Payday! Nuff Said....

Some of these photos (the last 2 I posted) are going to be exhibited in a show here in Wenzhou China. I have sent off a selection - its called something like "A Foreigners view of China" #Photography #Photographer
Thanks so much I appreciate the comment
Black-and-white photograph of a narrow concrete pedestrian underpass with worn walls and a fluorescent light overhead. At the far end, a man sits on a bicycle resting against the wall, partially in shadow beneath a Chinese safety sign, while the tunnel slopes upward toward daylight beyond.
Sometimes when life gets too much one just needs to find somewhere quiet for a break - #UrbanGaze #Photograph #Photography #ClassicMono
Group of elderly Chinese men and women standing together outdoors on steps during a gathering in Wenzhou. Many wear red armbands with Chinese characters indicating โRed Army veterans.โ The group faces forward as if posing for a photograph, with apartment buildings visible in the background and bright sunlight illuminating the scene.
Former Members of China's Red Army stand together for a photo outside a park in the spring where the hosts of tulips echo Mao's slogan "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" #HumansOfBlueSky #China #Photograph #Photography

Fluffy white long-haired cat sleeping on its back on a blue sofa, paws curled toward its chest and tail stretched out. The cozy living room behind it includes houseplants near a large window, a small heater, and a plush bear-face cushion resting against the sofa.
So I got up about 50 minutes ago, let the cats out (they have their own bedroom) and FluffyBum is already on his first nap of the day. #cat #cats
Photograph of a small, crowded Chinese market stall filled with food products and household goods. Trays of eggs, dried foods, jars, packaged snacks, and red gift boxes line the shelves and counters. Hanging bags and bright lights fill the space, while a person lies resting on a bed at the back of the shop among stacked goods.
Red is a popular colour in China - the colour of luck and money especially around the Chinese New Year/Spring Break

Photograph of two people sitting inside a warmly lit cafรฉ, viewed through an open wooden window. One person reads a book while the other holds a phone in front of their face. The interior is decorated with shelves of books, framed pictures, plants, and hanging lamps beneath soft fabric drapery and floral decorations.
Coffee/Cafe culture has grown enormously in #China recently there are cool places everywhere.

Australian long distance runner adventurist and storyteller great videos. And lots of them to watch
Do you watch Beau Miles?
Yep I think Iโve re watched Time Team at least twice (all the episodes) and the new ones!
Thatโll never happen ๐ฉ
YouTube is now becoming nearly unwatchable becuz of Ads and in particular the ads that sit there with the wheel spinning going nowhere
I know they are forcing me into it
But is it worth buying the subscription?
I use YT a lot for pleasure and teaching
Advice please. #Youtube
Watching the missiles rain down across the Middle East I have a terrible feeling that someone (Israel) will just say Fuck It and press that RED button and turn the Middle East and parts of the US into nuclear glass (Trinitite)
