small beauties (& big rocks)
[ A view up maybe twenty feet of a rocky slope, with evergreen trees at the top. ] Just a little bit of a hill, but such treasures at the top!

[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby, looks out the side door of the van with wide eyes. ] Tom had some Opinions about taking another walk. (He COULD have stayed at the van. I never make them follow me. They just DO, & then whine about it a lot.)
[ In the foreground, a couple of pine trees & about twenty feet of rock-covered ground. Beyond that, the view opens up, looking down onto dense forest with blue sky above. ] It was SUCH a gorgeous spot. I wish the road to get there weren’t so rough — Tom had Opinions about it, & …
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby, & Major Tom, a grey tabby, under a pinyon tree; they’re next to each other, facing away from the camera & off to the left, but Tom is sitting, & Loiosh is standing, tail waving. ] They’re mirroring each other & it makes me happy. <3

[ A tall, straight pinyon pine dominates the photo; behind it, a scattering of other trees, a cliff of rough red stone, & above that, blue sky. ] I didn’t do Woods Day on Tuesday, as I usually do, because I was having a bad brain day, so I scheduled Auxiliary Woods Day for Saturday. …
