The Land of Oz (with dogs)

As promised, I share with you my latest project, into whose arms I was driven by a combination of COVID-19 and election-related stress. Remarkably, I feel a whole lot better this morning. Euphoric even. I wonder why…

Many dogs are featured in the Land of Oz, a.k.a. Ruth’s bookcase, in addition to my original muses, Phryne and Reina. Here’s the overview. That’s Dorothy’s house at the bottom. I don’t know if you can see the witch’s little feet sticking out with her striped socks. And the city of Oz at the top next to the Surrender Dorothy skywriting. Not a great photo, I know.

We’re off to see the Wizard!

The Fab Four (and Toto too!)

Glinda the Good Witch with the Mayor of Munchkin City (in the County of the Land of Oz) and representatives of the Lullaby League and the Lollipop Guild.

Here are those apple-throwing evil trees from the Enchanted Forest.

It’s the Wicked Witch of the West! That’s a poppy field behind her.

And her flying monkeys!

I know, I know. I’m crazy. But hey, Italy is in a mess — almost 40 000 new cases yesterday — and we are facing another lockdown. I don’t bake and I’ve pretty much exhausted Netflix. This works for me. Stay tuned for the next dog-arama!
