Unexpected light show

I set up our laser holiday lights, but forgot to turn the timer from “on” to “timer” and when I let Sophie out for her morning constitutional was greeted with quite a spectacular laser show through the morning mist.

Music and cats

I told y’all that I loved that picture of Thor on the Old Man of the North chair. I love it so much I made it a profile picture, and the app gave Thor a thought bubble that said “Share a song”. Now the picture is perfect: music and a cat.

Even though the Old Man’s face is obscured, the “wind” swirls still make it aesthetically pleasing.

Pretty boy

I love this picture. Thor found the side sleeper pillow I threw onto our vintage wood chair and posed quite regally. The curve of his whiskers follow the curve of the carved back of the chair, and it gives me a giggle that it looks like the Old Man is licking the cat’s head.

Painted bunting

I added a bird to my list of sightings! We had a painted bunting visit our bird feeder. What a pretty bird!

He was flirting with a female on the new bird feeder, and I love this photo where the female is getting after him and I caught him leaning away.

Who is watching who?

We actually saw a deer with our own eyes in the back yard, rather than just a picture from the trail cam. She was watching us watching her. She was OK until I walked toward her with my big camera. Then she decided to find forage elsewhere.

My husband spotted a hawk in the trees, so again I took my big camera to take a picture. The young hawk also kept a keen eye on me, but this time I did not scare it off.
