Love and Piece

When Yellow Mouse got up from her soft bed of garden flowers (others would call it weed, but hey, she hadn't smoked in years!), lured outside by a wonderful, savoury smell, humming Cat McKenzie's old but gold Yippie song to herself, "If you're going to San Mouseciso, be sure to wear some weed..." No, wait, those weren't the exact lyrics. So what, that smell was overpowering. And there it was, her huge, delicious breakfast piece of Swiss cheese. At other times, she would have been nervous, always double-checking that resident cat Jim wasn't anywhere near, ready to pounce and do what he'd call "morning exercise with mouse". Jim was alright, in his slightly weird "Jim way", but she strictly refused to do anything that came even remotely close to a workout before breakfast, let alone one that would have her twirled and tossed around by Jim, who, quite inefficiently, tried to assure her that "It's good for your poise!" She didn't need more poise, she had poise in abundance. But ever since Jim had taken on an enormous liking to homemade lasagna, and upon which he had declared: "Live and let live!", her days had gotten so relaxed and peaceful that it was almost too good to be true. Au contraire, these days it was barn dog Yellow Dog who tried to chase Jim around. Yellow Dog complained that Jim had gotten so lazy, "lasagna lazy" as he would call it. As Yellow Mouse set about to enjoy her breakfast, she heard, from a distance, some inviting barking ("Let's go Jim, it's time for our workout!"), followed by a harried caterwaul ("Leemeelone, I want lasagnaaaaa!"). Yellow mouse sighed happily. Life was good :-)

The yellow mouse has been with me since childhood. It once had a purple sibling, but that got lost at one point. The glass mouse is filled with a yellow liquid that shines beautifully in the sunshine (and would have been a nice subject for last week's shadow theme, as I realise now). The flowers I've picked from a front garden around the corner, and the cheese, in case you wondered, was delicious ;-) In-camera focus stacked image, only minimally post-edited in Lightroom, were I slightly increased the luminance and saturation of the yellow, and in Luminar 4, where I slightly enhanced the details (small) on the mouse, cheese and flowers.

If you'd like to get to know resident cat Jim (thank you for the Jimspiration, dear ironicdream!, and also Yellow Dog, please check the second comment :-) HMM, Everyone, stay safe, stay healthy, and take care!
