Walking to training, I had to just stop and take in the sight in the morning. We had fog rolling off of *trees* and *poles*. Simply beautiful.

Walking to my training for the day, I passed by an ice-covered bush. I love sights like this (my cherry bush in the front yard), and since I was close enough to work I knew I wasn’t running late.

this is the most romantic thing i’ve seen all day

No shit. That tom cat was like:

“This thorn invested wall means nothing.”

“I will gladly walk on it a thousand times over, if that means I could be with you, my lady.”

and the lady cat was all:

“My brave darling.”

OOOPS MY HAND SLIPPED!!

Suddenly my muse insisted me to draw the personification version of the last pic, and who am I to reject inspiration when it comes so willingly to me? At least this will help with the artblock issue I currently have to deal with.

Russian imperial era inspired because hot damn.

Note: I tried google reverse image (and other reverse image search engines) those photos and came up with nothing. I wish I knew the original photographer because I want to love hug him/her so hard for capturing such inspiring moments.

OMG that’s the cutest thing ever and the best courtly love ah so brilliant.

Few romantic heroes could do better.

I don’t post cats often but that illustration.

I’m enamored with this stuff. Discovery isn’t really accidental – it’s the culmination of a scientist’s life spent closely observing the things around them! <3
