Posted by in Weekly photo challenge The weekly photo challenge – seasons – sent me outside for photos today. It is in the mid 30’s so not too bad. The challenge asked for photos of whatever weather was present in our world right now, and for us it is that grey and white season when winter is more than midway done,…Read more »
Posted by in cats, Flowers, Uncategorized, Weekly photo challenge In my world right now, we are awash in shades of white and grey. Even the beautiful colored lights of the Christmas season are down. I look at all the empty tree limbs, and imagine them filled with the green of spring and summer. This week’s photo challenge, by someone else who is awash in…Read more »

Posted by in dogs, Uncategorized, Weekly photo challenge Aging is the theme in our house these days, as we age, and so do our critters. This week’s photo challenge asks for pictures of transitions, and one of our oldest animals is Butterscotch. At 15, she’s showing her age in many ways, most noticeably for photographs, with the increasing “sugar face,” as my sister…Read more »
Posted by in cats, Weekly photo challenge I’m not sure if these photos say something about my own victory, or the victory of some very persistent cats. This week’s photo challenge asks for images of victory, and both of these cats presented themselves to me as kittens – ones that wouldn’t have survived had I not taken them in. Minh, our orange…Read more »
Posted by in cats, Weekly photo challenge This week’s photo challenge — boundaries – reminded me the early days of Annie, our little feral kitten. Brought in as a very sick kitten at about seven months old (very late for an outdoor cat to feel comfortable inside with people) boundaries were critical to her. She needed them as a way of maintaining…Read more »
Posted by in cats, community cats, Weekly photo challenge The photo challenge this week asks for two halves of a whole. I thought right away of these community cats, clearly buddies that make a whole somehow.
Posted by in Flowers, Weekly photo challenge What could be fresher than color, and lots of it, after the dreary winter greys and browns? This week’s photo challenge asks us to show something fresh. Here (off-topic again!) are some more photos from Longwood Gardens, where we spent an afternoon enjoying fresh colors.
