Joni makes me think that the 7th of November was also the one-year anniversary of the death of Montreal’s Leonard Cohen, and many events and commemorations.

Love the above pic of a tortie, she has captured the dappled tortiness so well.
PG, I love the phrase perigee syzygy, sounds so much nicer and more interesting than supermoon.

Lotte Laserstein also did this wonderful self-portrait with a (tabby) cat. Great portrait of the cat too.

http://germanexpressionismleicester.org/ImageGen.ashx?image=/media/1135/1001_self_portrait_with_a_cat.jpg

In Weimar Germany it was common for “emancipated women” to crop their hair short as Lotte has. You will see that in many expressionist paintings.
