Description This is my 12 year old, 20 pound, cat, "Panther," on December 2, 2012, walking in the Fall foliage of my back yard. In the foreground is my Japanese footbridge which leads to my back door.

This photo was taken on December 2, 2022 in the same location.  I did not realize I was taking the photo exactly 10 years apart.

Ou waaaau I am impressed, your cat really looks like a panther. He is so beautiful.

And,
the place where this image was made is like a paradise,
I could sit there for hours and enjoy in all beauty that nature provides.

That's my backyard Japanese garden.  I created it.  Here are two photos of me assembling the Japanese footbridge which is called a soribashi and of the bridge in place.

I often sit in the backyard after working and have snacks or refreshments there with my wife and or friends.  Sometimes we have parties there.

Thanks to private pictures, I guess they are not in your gallery?
It's great to see how the work flowed for that small garden paradise in which now you enjoy!

soribashi is such a great name for your small wooden bridge...  total Japanese style.

P.S. Your workshop is so well arranged and clean... I noticed that of the tools you have circular saw...
The quality of your photos is so good, simply every detail can be clearly seen

То је моја политика је да стави своје најбоље фотографије у DeviantArt.

Моје приватне обичне фотографије стоје у Фацебоок.

Људи купују моје фотографије у DeviantArt. Зато желим да ми најбоље фотографије.

Мислим да је радна станица треба да буде добро организован. То треба да буде чиста.

Овде је мој рад графика станица у мојој кући.

То је добро организован и чист.

Кружна тестера је важно средство. Међутим, ја не могу да поседују. Спада у најбољим пријатељем моје супруге. Он је хонорарни Роом Мате са нама.

Andy.
Please could send me this again, but in English
because on Serbian half I understood, did not.
It's important to me that all of you I understand.


As I said,
I appreciate a lot your help but I would be easier if we do it in English.


In forward thanks

Here is everything again, but in English....

It is my policy is to put my best photos to DeviantArt.

My private ordinary photographs are in Facebook.

People buy my photos at DeviantArt. So I want to show my best pictures.

I think that the workstation needs to be well organized. It should be clean.

Here is my graphics work station in my home.

It is well organized and clean.

The circular saw is an important tool. However, I can not have. It belongs to my wife's best friend. He is a part-time Room Mate with us.

This is much better, thank you!

It's a great attitude,
I can exactly see the difference of those they re here and those on Facebook.
Fantastic and they should buy them, I'm glad for you.

Definitely you show my best, Your photographs are amazing!

I totally agree with you, the workstation should have a regulated space, for example I would never be able to function in a mess
I love the arranged space.


An interesting sculpture,
I remember you mentioned somewhere that you deal with sculpting,
that is amazing... what do you like to make?


I also see that you have in your house plant - difenbahija (plant with large green leaves, I do not know how to write)
I like this plant, my best friend has it at his home, gives a very nice and the warm atmosphere in the interior.

So the big screen,
"apple" has an excellent and minimalist design... but what I noticed was a small table lapa next to the mouse, flowers and phone
very nice, I like it.

I am a person who likes little things, because I think that little things make our lives more beautiful.


That is true, circular tool is very good but if you can't have it, you can buy your own.

I started making sculpture when I was a child.  As a child, I did not make friends. Instead, I spent my time making things with my hands or reading.  I did not find other children interesting. Here is my sculpture gallery:  andyserrano.deviantart.com/gal… I like making human figures. I especially love making female figures. I find women to be the most fascinating and beautiful creation.

I've always had lots of house plants.  Dieffenbachia are the easiest to grow.  Sometimes I use a grow light.  Those are good if your light is inadequate.  One day I installed a grow light in my wife's office and she did not know it.  Over time, the plants she would bring to her office would thrive, but no one else's plants would thrive.  Everyone praised her abilities.  My light was partly responsible. However, she was responsible for it too since she always remembered to water them and nurture them. Most people forget their plants.

I am able to use the circular saw as if it were my own.  My wife's boyfriend and part-time roommate lets me use all the tools he leaves here.  He is an aircraft mechanic.  Here is a photo of me
fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net… helping him fix an airplane. Here I am sitting in the fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net… airplane  When he stays at our house, he cooks all our meals for us. He is an excellent chef.  He likes making her happy.  And if she's happy, I'm happy.

I began using Apple products since the first Apple computer was sold.

(: Andy
every time I'm impressed with the new part of your life that you tell me!
It is so interesting to know what were you as a child

Your sculptures are very interesting, I like the idea where you create female figures
because I like art where is woman's body focus, because I'm very fascinated by the female body and the beauty that they reflect.
To be clear, only in art and any form of photography, sculpture, drawings, prints all techniques,
but definitely the most photography.
 In my gallery-favourites I have two folders, one is art photos of female beauty
and the other, art female naked body,
men do not have.


Dieffenbachia... thanks for help, it's important that we understand each other.
I've always liked it when a man at least a little understand the plants and when he likes.
Plants are the most beautiful thing on this planet, I love them in every sense.



The pictures are great especially yours in plane
I was wondering if it is Barbara's boyfriend sees on the right side image?


It is most important that you get along and that everyone be happy!

I consider an athletic woman's body to be one of the universe's greatest art work.

Admiring women's bodies is one of my great pleasures.  I guess I am just being a healthy normal male though.

Today, I had to cut one of my Dieffenbachia. It was getting too tall and falling over.  By cutting it, it becomes a new plant. All you have to do is put it in a pot of water.

If you are referring to man in the airplane picture, the man with the white grey hair, yes, that is her boyfriend.  She loves him very much and takes good care of him.

Today, she is spending the day with him at the airport and helping him fix an airplane.  She is currently not working and he has some days available to keep her company and keep her from getting lonely.

Unfortunately, he gets jealous.  If she goes out with another man, he has a difficult time with that. So, if she does that, she does not tell him.  She tells me, but not him.

My cat, Panther is on my lap.

Cats are the best! wow, may I ask you something? I hope I'm not being nosy, you may not answer me if you do not want, I know you're from LA but do you have a house in Japan or do you travel a lot to Japan, because you have a loooot of photos of there and well this footbridge made me too curious...

AndySerrano In reply to mahoujirou [2013-01-27 15:16:22 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha. You're not nosy, actually, you don't ask enough questions! You're my friend and I always am happy to answer any question. Tags are fun because they force people to answer questions. My only house is in Los Angeles. It would be fun to have a house in Japan, but that requires having at least two million dollars to support two houses and meeting the income requirements of being a resident of Japan. I think I have a long way to go to do this. Currently, I'm trying to earn frequent flier miles this year to go to Japan. I really want to go again this year. I have a photo of my constructing the bridge. I'm unable to find it right now. Please ask me again and I will see if I can get it loaded. Thanks for all your questions. I loved answering them.

One of my Mexican friends, Angie, told me there is a trade off with men. If you get a man with a lot of testosterone, he will likely work hard, make a lot of money, but be totally insensitive to his woman and maybe even abuse her. If you get a man with little testosterone, he will bring home little money, but be very sensitive to his woman. The trick is in finding someone between the two.

Golden Cat. Originally, I was going to shoot only the scene. However, I did that last year. I was wondering how to shoot the same scene again, but different. A moment after that, the cat entered the scene and delivered my answer. [link]

Would you be able to answer a question about the transformation of Russia from socialism to capitalism back in the 1990's? How were the enterprises transferred to private individuals? And, how did private individuals get enough money to purchase big enterprises?

Пожалуйста, ответьте на вопрос о превращении России. Это trandformed от социализма к капитализму. Это было в 1990-х годах. Как было предприятий, переданных частным лицам? Как частные лица получают достаточно денег, чтобы купить крупные предприятия?

Дорогой Энди! Ответы на эти вопросы давно известны всем [link] Если бы перехода к капитализму в России не произошло, то я бы не общался с Вами сейчас здесь, на DA, а рисовал бы политические плакаты [link] в Ленинской комнате [link]
