Photos of various cats that are or have been a part of my life. Well, I love cats. Sorry for that ;) Shooting cats is very therapeutic and relaxing. You just have to have time. And crawl a bit on the floor ;)
"Marras" is a Finnish word referring to various phenomena of death. Marraskuu is November in Finnish; the month of death, dying. The etymology of the word lies, according to Wikipedia, in the Proto-Indo-European "martas" where it ended up in Latin (mori - to die, mors - death etc.) and on to English, French and Spanish.
For me, the month marraskuu/November is a transition between fall and winter. Nothing happens, it's mostly grey and dull. Some snow may fall, but it always melts away quickly.
