Approaching First Quarter

Sunday afternoon, around 2 pm, I was playing with my camera in the neighborhood and saw this:

The branches around the moon are filled with maple keys.

Yes, in January. Florida, remember?

My territory

The Selma Street cats don't usually let me photograph them, but last weekend this one—after first jumping up and walking away—turned, sat and gave me "the look."

If you take a look at my Cats collection on RedBubble, you'll see his two brothers and three of his neighbors.

A nice day for cats.

Sonic incognito

The first time we ever took Sonic to the vet, the doctor took one look, said, "Oh, you're one of those," and threw a towel over his head. Sonic was happy.

[Shadow, of course, freaks out if anything other than an adoring hand touches his regal fur.]

First lights

Since Jim and I moved to Florida eleven years ago, we have been intrigued by the way Xmas seems to start earlier each year. By now, it seems, Xmas begins the day after Hallowe'en.

Granted, our sweet next door neighbors did, in fact, wait until December to put up their lights.
