Cat stairs

Waited a while for a cat to appear but alas. Also note the open top window on the left. Yes people sometimes have a lot going for their pets. (Header Amsterdam never ceases to amaze me as with this walking advertisement for a hash shop). 

 

Sofietje gets restless.

Why do you keep sitting behind that stupid device? I know something better to do. One for Saturday critters here.

New scratch pole for Sophietje

Was necessary after she totally broke the previous one.

Also one from the past

And I still remember asking permission first making this one on the market in almere city,

Fresh air but not free.

In the same area as yesterday's post residents let their pets also enjoying the good weather.

One for Our World Tuesday here.

Hello

How are you feeling today. Signed Sofietje

Dearing question

Hey, I also want a pat on my head.

Tribute to the elderly in our society.

Further to my post yesterday the outdoor exhibition of pets at the end of the run track.

The posters are a tribute to the elderly in our society. Because they have so much to contribute to society. For instance by watching the pets of busy owners. The elderly are on photo on the other side of the stands and I show you only some pets they watched.

You only have to look at the dark eyes of Kyra (10) and you melt. 

Photographer Nico Kroon.

Chippie (21) doing what comes to her and is a real hedonist.

Photographer Sacha de Boer.

Anka (13) thinks she is still a puppy and is always disappointed if her body contradicts that.

Photographer Sander Troelstra.

I dedicate this post to Our World Tuesday here.

Sofietje just back from mouse hunting in the garden

Are you talking to me.

One for camera critters here.

World Press Photo 2015

In the new church in amsterdam you find now the new World Press  Photo exhibition. As always are the photo subjects not very nice for the eye but mostly shockingly and painfully the ugly part of reality. 

So I tried to capture some expressions of the spectators.

Still I loved this portrait as one from a serie of  Russian women portrayed in their own home, just before or after posing for a photograph that would be used for a dating website. 

Made by Italian photographer Andy Rochelli, it won the second prize in stories. 

Sadly by looking for a link I found the message from the Italian Foreign Ministry that Andy Rochelli and his Russian aide have been killed in a mortar attack in Ukraine on 18 may 2014.

Sofietje goes eyeballing.

What do you expect if you lie so stupid on bed with a camera before your nose.

Cosy

Sofietje likes it hidden behind the flowerpots on the windowsill. Warm.

If you want to see more animals you can go to Camera critters here.
