Challenge 265

Sweet Muffin, always alert to her surroundings, always serious looking, yet a very sweet natured kitty. The boy cat we brought home with her disappeared. Perhaps she knows his fate and the cause for her wariness.

You’re right, Denise, I don’t know what I would do without my animals and my blog! But, I would trade them in a heartbeat for a couple of kids or grandchildren any ol’ time!

Tonytiger enjoying Mom’s attention. I go out every afternoon, weather permitting of course, and play with the farm kitties. There’s nothing like having willing models to photograph. They don’t complain nor worry about how fat they look or if their hair is a mess. The best part is they work cheap! Plenty to eat and shelter rewards me with photo ops until my memory cards are full!

These glorious fall days are simply perfect. The only thing that would make these pictures any better would be to catch another sunny day when all the leaves start changing colors. It won’t be long now as you can see evidenced here.

…crazy go at the 264 challenge.

This guy or gal was sitting in the evening sun on our roof wondering what the heck I was doing with that gadget attached to my face. Of course it was only my camera, but how was a bird to know?

Thanks, Aunt M for the sweet comment on the guitar like image and the stained glass!

370,000 acres destroyed, 500,000 plus residents evacuated…. 1200 homes destroyed at this writing. It is said to be the worse fire ever in California. My thoughts and prayers to those affected.

• Our first cold day and I hated it!
• The forecast is for the coldest night since last April… I hate that too!
• Did you see Marie Osmond faint on “Dancing with the Stars”? Says she does that when she gets winded. I’m thinking she better get a checkup soon!
• Anybody want to enlighten me as to the reason I watch “The Bachelor”? Cause, really, I don’t know.
• Um… I need to turn the heat on now cause it is ridiculous to be sitting here freezing.
• What else? Nothing I can think of… guess I’ll call it a day! How was yours?
