I am a Littermate, a follower of all-around good old Country Boy and Limbaugh-loving Conservative commentator Catturd. For many years, aside from his posts and podcasts with Jewels Jones, Catturd’s visual ID was only his avatar, a white cat wearing black glasses. Here are some representations courtesy of his creative followers. About a year ago, …
My photography is mostly landscapes and scenes without people, for some unknown reason. But I do like to do some people-watching. It was in Nashville that I photographed a very colorful character who was happy to pose for me. He just looked so pleased with himself! On that same trip to Nashville, we went to …

This particular dinner table is....wait for it...Both! The people at this table journeyed from miles away to meet with the Honored Guest, a remarkable young man from Romania.
