Purple Afternoon

The perfect afternoon: a little bit of sun, birds chirping happily among flowers, a good book and a cat to pet. What could be better than this? 

Well... for starters, a real cat instead of a purple origami one. Actually, also a real cat besides the origami one. A nice cup of hot chocolate, since it is so cold outside. And a sun that doesn't mock me when I want to take pictures to my origami models and go into hinding after I finish with the arrangement and I press for the first time the shutter button from my camera.

Before I present the details about my origami arrangement, I want to write here a quote from a good book (captured in one of these photos): "Sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in but what was worn and hackneyed out of all sense and meaning".
