Why not? Laughing is so good for us.
There was humor in so many of the ridiculous situations that I have encountered.

I am especially interested is finding animals in art and I use the term "art" lightly. It could be a painting in a gallery, graffiti in an alleyway or the image of a bird in a wrought iron railing around a balcony.
There are of course thousands of paintings, sculptures and artifacts depicting animals all over the world. I am looking not for just a horse but the expression on the horse's face. I wonder if the artist made the horse from the memory if it was one he or she had known.
That dog under the table of an elaborate feast, did it belong to the artist or someone in the painting? Is it a message for someone?

And I especially enjoy ugly or strangely painted animals like the cat that looks like a rat in the painting of the Knox children (see post "Church Mice in Yorkshire, England"). Did a student paint that? Did the little girl? How could an artist with such talent at painting faces, lace and clothing paint that rat-cat?
Although I might mention the symbolism of animals in art it is not the intent of this blog to dwell on the subject. There are many excellent sources on this topic to be found on the web.

Why travelling with a sigh?
Waiting in long, boring lines, dealing with bureaucracy, missing a plane.

Unspeakable cruelty to animals. Unspeakable cruelty to people. Horrendous, unacceptable living conditions for both.
A disrespect for the earth, garbage strewn on the beaches, in the streets, in the parks, the sea. Pollution from heavy industry, exploitation of natural resources.
I cannot fix it. I can say something about it. Maybe something will change.
For the record, I only post things that I have seen but I love your comments about things you have seen that relate to my posts.
My photos are my own. I once said that I will always give credit for artwork but now I find that I have so many photographs stored in my computer I can no longer remember where I found the animals let alone who created them.
If you find something I have not named and you can correct me, please do. If I have posted your work or part of your work and you want me to remove it, I will.
