Contented Kitty

This is Squeaky's brother.  Both he and Squeaky have the prettiest blue eyes.  He was chillin' on the screen porch last Saturday, so I made it a photo op.

All this attention made my kitty's green eyes even more green with envy.  She was having none of it.  First she walked between us as I was taking his picture.  Then she walked around me, walked back to him, hissed, smacked his face, and stalked away.  I guess she told him!

Sun Patch

My kitty likes to move around the house from sun patch to sun patch throughout the day.  Even more so since I gave her the annual "lion cut" a couple weeks ago.

She liked her new do at first because it was hot weather, but now we're having cooler weather and she can't seem to get enough sun patches.  I console her with the fact that by November she will be a big warm fuzzball again.

After the Rain

It rained all day Saturday, but it finally let up in the evening.  I had the urge to take pictures, so I went out and took some foliage pictures.  All the plants looked so happy and glowing in the evening light. 

I planted my garden on Memorial Day, so there will be more plant pictures to come as we move into summer.

Baby Cardinal

We've been watching the progress of a baby cardinal nesting in a bush outside our window.  Today I watched it leave the nest at the prompting of mommy and daddy.  You can still see tufts of baby down on it.  I hope the little tyke enjoys its new-found freedom from the nest.

You Talkin' to Me?

Squeaky looks like he means business, but he's really just a scaredy cat.  Squeaky isn't his real name, but if you ever hear him meow, you'll know why I call him Squeaky.

I'm not sure he appreciated me interrupting his afternoon nap,  but that's the way it is when there is a photographer in the house.
