Close-up video still showing a bearded man in a suit and blue tie (JD Vance) smiling tightly or looking uneasy, seemingly reacting during the same conversation or event referenced above.
The photo is of a woman with long brown hair seated on a dark metal bench, she's looking down at her phone. She has her chin resting on her hand. She is wearing a dark green cardigan, light cream-coloured wide-leg pants, and green shoes with white stripes. The bench is positioned on a brick-paved section of the park. There are fallen leaves scattered around. A large tree with dense green and yellow foliage frames the overhead. The ground is covered with grass and fallen leaves. In the background, there are multiple rows of old brick arches.
"Here, Kitty Kitty!"
It wasn't as if I even wanted them to come up to me and purr, let me pet them, spend a moment or two beside me. I would have been happy if they had just looked up and noticed I was there.

An orange kitten looking out a window. Quite dark inside, much light outside. I wanted to symbolise how life is trying to get out of obscurity and going towards the light.
The ancient windows let in so much light, hid so much darkness. The ancient windows have seen history, are themselves history, yet they continue to let in light. Even though they have seen so much darkness.
An ancient window in Torino, Italy. It's a noble window of a noble palace, letting in some light that reflects and creates an interesting illumination. For me, this photo is a metaphor of the soul, which reflects the light that gets in and hides the darkness. Even if the soul has seen much lights, in the life. Even if the soul has seen much darkness.
a single round green leaf of a Spanish broom is in focus and runs diagonally from the top left to the centre of the frame. A drop of morning dew is hanging from its tip. The background is diffuse shades of green and orange
To celebrate Christmas I thought that I could do no better than repost this photo from earlier this month of my dogs with Bingo doing his best flying reindeer impression.
Wishing a very merry Christmas to all!
A snowy scene of a woodland road along which is careening towards us a small white and brown dog, its ears flapping vertically. Another white dog watches on.
Writing about the life lessons we can learn from 1990s opera legend Luciano Pavarotti was not on our 2025 bingo card, but hey, a lot of things weren't.
A narrow cobblestone street in Ferrara framed by ancient brick arches and warm lamplight, with three people walking into the distance beneath the vaulted passageways that glow softly in the evening quiet.
A warm-toned portico in Bologna opens onto a cobblestone street at dusk, framing a view of the clock tower on Piazza Maggiore against a blue evening sky. People in winter clothing walk beneath the arch toward the square, passing glowing shop windows on the left, while empty café tables with red cushions sit to the right. The soft lights under the portico and the historic architecture create a welcoming atmosphere.
View looking downriver on a cloudy day. Smooth water behind weir in foreground, bridge in middle ground, brown buildings on right, cloudy sky and hills in silhouette in background.
