Palermo? Lucky you! I loved that city but never got the chance to go back. Guess I’ll have to look into a quick getaway…

November 2022, the heat fueled by "El Niño" was scorching southern Tanzania.... The shade was sparse but oh-so-welcome for them too..!!







Dilemma: do we stay in the shade or make a run for it???



They stayed put.... Thanks to them.

Thanks for joining in, love the photos! 🙂 The "big cat" is gorgeous!

When I see your latest photos—your travel journal, the cats, the little streets of Fez, or even the contest—I almost feel like we traveled together in Morocco 😉

The most surprising thing was still that we photographed the same cat! !😮

The most surprising part is still that we photographed the same cat! 😲

That’s so true, given how many cats are out on the streets! 😲

I’ve already used up all my best shots in the contest intro... No big deal since I won’t be entering anyway—I’m the organizer (same as every time I host, and I’ve already explained why).

I could’ve included this one, though—a memory from Japan:

And, well... even though they’re *very* strangely covered, it has nothing to do with the heat. So I’m posting it here anyway.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Philippe,

Your photo reminded me of this one, also taken on a Thai beach, at Haad Chao Saram. This woman was collecting seashells...

Hello, it's true that Thais don’t like exposing themselves to the sun. 😊
