Contrast: Bows and Flows of Angel Hair

I've looked at clouds from both sides now...

From up and down and still somehow...

It's cloud illusions I recall...

I really don't know clouds at all...

Lyrics: Joni Mitchell 

Contrast: Fights and Brotherhood

This is Frances. He is a stray cat that we sort of adopted.
He used to have two eyes, but one (got scratched and) closed over. This mostly affects him when he can't see his food too well and thinks there isn't any.
Frances used to chase off our other cat (Batman), but then Batman got stronger. Then he chased Frances away.
Now they are tolerant of each other. We think they might be brothers, as they are both black and white, and get on okay.
This is what Frances looked like when he had to fight for his food and before his eye totally closed over (not for weak of heart).

Frances used to be more skittish but now he lets us get much closer. However, Batman loves to be petted, and drools most contentedly like a dog.

Contrast: Light and Seasons

We went to Coole Park briefly this past weekend, and we have been a few times before. There is a particular pathway near the toilets with overhanging trees. I took two photos of it. One was early this year, 2nd February. The second is from this past weekend, the 15th August. The difference in light  (though taken around the same time of day) and tree growth is amazing.

Doesn't it just change the entire atmosphere as well? The first is like a Grimm forest, the second is a Disney forest (Yes, still haven't gotten over Tinkerbell's de-sass-ification).
