Dressed for a party

A small dog dressed in a wig, necklace, a jacket and leg warmers on a lead, standing next to their owner. Only the owner's feet and legs are visible.

When I walked past this little dog and snapped a photo of him with my phone, I didn’t realise I was photographing a celebrity dog.

Thanks to Google Images, I found out the dog is Ali the Rasta Dog on Instagram. I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up in clothes, unless it’s cold out, but it’s obvious Donald, his owner, loves Ali and takes great care of him.

Some links about Donald and Ali:

His new little furry friend has made all the difference, he says. He calls him Ali the “Rasta pup.” Donald says his newfound faith in God has also helped relieve his anger and he says he now has a reason to live, and a friend to share that life with.

The Ginger Guardian needs a rest

No Comments on The Ginger Guardian needs a rest

A ginger cat rests in a flower bed behind a fence.

Being a guardian of the alley is tiring work and when they can, the guardians take a break. The lovely ginger cat I photographed in yesterday’s post jumped into this flower bed/shrubbery to rest and didn’t object when I took his photo.

Guardians of the Alley

Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens. They're sitting in front of a corrugated metal wall. One looks directly at the camera while the other looks around, bored.

Two cats protect a narrow street in Athens, Greece. Tourists were milling around, talking loudly, enjoying their food and drink on a warm afternoon. Cars drove past nearby, but the cats didn’t move until a delivery man drove up on the pavement. Even then, they didn’t go far. The ginger fellow lay down to sleep nearby!

A Renault 4 at the Panathenaic Stadium

No Comments on A Renault 4 at the Panathenaic Stadium

Cars drive slowly past in a traffic jam outside the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece.
An old Renault 4 is seen in the foreground.

Cars weren’t going anywhere fast in front of the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the day we visited. A traffic jam extended far off in every direction.

An old Renault 4 caught my eye. An anarchism among all the modern cars around. In a city like Athens, where the ancient past seamlessly coexists with the present, the Renault 4 seemed oddly fitting.

A moment at a French Café

No Comments on A moment at a French Café

People sitting at tables outside a café in Paris, France.
Three men sit at tables in the background, while two men sit at tables nearer, and a couple are at another table, being waited on by a waiter.

In parts of Paris, they have such wide footpaths that café and restaurants have seating outside. The city where I live has done likewise, sometimes successfully, but more often, impeding pedestrians and annoying people. One pub claimed so much public real estate that pedestrians had to walk between tables to get past.

Awesome Statues

A young man listening to the audio tour of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris stands next to the statue of Tarcisius.

The young man's tshirt says "AWE" and what is probably "S", leading me to believe it says "AWESOME".

Hey! What’s that?

Three people sit on a bench. The man on the left points to the right and the woman sitting next to him and the other man look over.
They have a couple of bags and a few drinks with them.

I have no idea what was so interesting. On a bench in Bishop Lucey Park in 2019.

The setting sun casts a yellow glow on a church with a clear blue sky behind it. People are standing on a balcony watching the sunset.

The setting sun casts a lovely glow on the Igreja Paroquial da Graça in Lisbon. People up on a balcony in the church get a great view of the city and the sun.

A dog in the bookshop

A man stands in the doorway of a bookshop next to his large dog. He holds the lead but looks like he is about to remove the lead as he goes in!

One of the wonderful things about other places is when dogs are allowed in. I had just left the American Book Center in Amsterdam when a man and a dog walked towards me and into the shop!

There’s no chance a dog like that, or any dog, would be allowed in a bookshop where I live! I sometimes get away with bringing Diego in when I carry him in my arms. 🙂
