I took some photos of my beautiful Pintea yesterday evening as I put him out for the night. The intensity of the setting sun put the rest of the image into darkness. I made what adjustments I could, hence the high contrast of the sun, but this is one of those times I wish my Photoshop skills were better. A professional could make this image absolutely stunning.

What I'm Reading
Nick Bantock: Windflower: A Novel
Thinking about Griffin and Sabine reminded me of an unread Bantock book on my shelf. I'm only a few pages in, but the fact that the story is about a made-up tribe of people in a make-believe land, made me realize how much of the fiction I read is still based in reality. Yes, Ishiguru's "Never Let Me Go" imagines a world where clones provide a steady stream of transplant organs; but it is still based in England, in a time and place not entirely unbelievable. And Chabon's "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" brings the reader to a Jewish enclave in Alaska created when the project to create Israel fails; but again, the place, time, and details are not so "out there" that one cannot imagine it could have happened this way. But Bantock creates a completely new world, much like sci-fi and fantasy writers. It makes me realize how long it's been since I've read sci-fi.Joyce Atkinson: Journal: The Short Life and Mysterious Death of Amy Zoe Mason
Oh please do go read my review. I felt so strongly about this one (in a negative way) that I actually posted a review on both Amazon.com and .co.uk.
