Letter "A" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures

HAPPY NEW YEAR  
This Second weekend's Prompts are: Starts with "A"; A Favorite; "A"lone; and A Lagniappe.
 _ _ _ _  


Starts with "A":  Angel starts with an "A". 

Mrs. Jim had this angel at the top before we were married, almost 48 years ago.  She has been a tradition guest here with us for all these years.

Does anyone remember the now ancient "Moon Mullins" comic strip?

A Favorite:  Mrs. Jim and I found this bit of original Art in the Lautrec Museum in Albi, France. It is by Paul Cézanne (1839 to 1906) and yes, he was pretty quirky, both artists were. (Cézanne Wikipedia link)

In just a lot of his pictures you can see Mont Sainte-Victoire as in this one. It is a mountain in Provence, France. Cézanne can see the whole view of the mountain from his house near Aix-en-Provence. He drew a series of oil paintings about or using his favorite mountain of his.

"A"lone:   KP's new cat does not like being left Alone.  We think he might be missing his former owner.  
 
Named Dutch, he is an adopted four-year-old male Russian Blue.   He was a one-owner never taken out in the rain pretty boy belonging to a little old lady, an LOL.
