He really isn’t very scary, is he? And he won’t perform tricks, but he does like treats…

I don’t know what’s gotten into the cats lately. They’re actually coming close to POSING for me.

When you are eight years old and you don’t feel well, you can sleep anywhere… even an uncomfortable chair in your Dad’s office…

It’s starting to be chilly at night now, and sitting in my computer room, it’s nice to turn to the side, push one button and get just that extra bit of warmth that says “safe… secure…” to me…

I don’t know whether the cats are getting tired of running away every time they see me, camera in hand, or whether perhaps they’re getting used to it. But here’s  Clancy — two cats in two days!

I don’t often get to catch either of the cats standing still. Ciara in particular is constantly in motion. So it’s always a pleasure when I can get a halfway decent photo of her. Here she is at the top of the stairs:

Today was the last really nice day we can expect here in late October. The weather was gorgeous Tuesday, Wednesday and today — temps well into the 70s and plenty of sunshine. But there’s a front due in with lots of rain, so… it was a matter of getting out when the getting was good. And I was able to get two views of a pond I pass to and from the organic farm.

My very first ruby-crowned kinglet… a tiny little bird that is just too cute.
