Now for a bit of a change of pace, here is a Sphinx cat seen at a cat show.

I just like it.

This 1959 GMC 9380 reposes in a field in the ghost town of Adanac, Saskatchewan.

The colours and the lines of the wild grass and plants remind me a bit of the work of later life Louise Wain - a habitual artist of anthropomorphized cats. As the artist's battle with schizophrenia deepened, so too increased the frenzy of the lines of his art.

I thought to name this 'Schizophrenia' or perhaps 'Wain's World' - but Summer seems representative too. Summer - a peak - an unfettered growth and wildness that may bury its sleeping subjects in the stuff of Life.

Hit 'L' on your keyboard - and dream of Summer.

One of the most unexpected sights for me in the ghost town of Sandon, British Columbia was a fleet of old buses and trolleys. In fact, they outnumber the remaining structures. These rusting remnants of a resident's goal to turn the town into a bona fide tourist destination now sit and await their fate - restoration and interested tourists? Or to rust amongst the ruins of the 1900's era silver mine town? Time will tell.

It always does.
