This image grew organically from the “Chiefs wife”. I was thinking of the regal aloof nature of the African queen, which I had drawn earlier and then I thought of the scary twighlight world of the Sangoma, or witchdoctor, in juxtapostion to this calmer world. Sort of like the yin/yang, good and evil aspects that co-exist within each of us.

This is my masseuse’s daughter, she is 9 years old in this picture!
Meet Chicken, the resident rooster at our farm! As you can see, he’s not quite ‘right in the head,’ but in more ways than one! He has been run over by the riding lawnmower way too many times. This can be attributed to the fact that everytime it gets fired up, he chases and attacks it! Quite the territorial bird, he is. Truly a sight to behold. Chicken thinks he runs the place, and struts about making this quite clear. He attacks his reflection in shiny vehicles, humps inanimate objects (sad but true), eats scrambled eggs, and sleeps on the bench on the porch, sometimes with his friend Charlie (one of many cats). He’s quite entertaining, to say the least. Never a dull moment at our farm! UPDATE ON CHICKEN / Well, I am (sort of) sad to report that Chicken has finally, uh, crowked. I suppose seven is old in chicken years! He will be long remembered at the farm.

Housesitting (Eye call it “Home Stewarding”) last fall. Keeping Company w/Kats (two). —There was always this .. grit, dirt & detritus on the living room floor when Eye’d return from doin’ my biz in the world; every DAY. It was always in a kind of round pattern, like a circle. “Where this @$%^ comin’ from??” says Eye. / —Finally, the Man got some BRAINS: Eye looked UP … Eye made noises as if Eye was leaving the house, slamming the door / in the process. Got quiet. Waited … Earnest scritching noises & light banging from the ceiling heat register —it’s snowing DUST. Crept up the stairs reeeeel slow-like … took for-EVUH. Nearing the bedroom door directly over said living room, Eye’m stretched out in the stairwell, lifting my camera (already turned on) to the base of the 2nd floor, straining to see. I press the shutter! / —You see what Eye saw … See that hole in the floor? ;>

I was taking pictures of Max the Cat, and he had been asleep. He woke up and startled while I was clicking away, and this was the shot I got! The expression says a world of words!—Thus, the text. Camera: Panasonic Lumix Mega O.I.S. 5X Optical Zoom DMC-LZ8. As IS, except for added text.
Using an image from Wikimedia of the kitten,I merged the Mermaid (krwdesigns) and used a flood filter to give the effect of kitty not being able to believe his eyes.
