also here is a cat picture
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, stands on a large rock, facing off to the left. His tail is held low, but his ears & whiskers are perked forward. Behind him is a wood fence & beyond that, tall ponderosa pines. ]
small beauties, big rocks edition
[ An oblong boot print in otherwise-untouched snow. The design isn’t very clear but there’s a tipi in there. ]
Not that I managed many pictures of the big rocks without cats standing on em, but here’s my bootprint in the snow. Manitobah Mukluks leave EXCELLENT prints. Continue reading small beauties, big rocks edition
big rocks day, part the first
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby, seen quite close up; he’s ignoring the camera to give me some pretty pointed side-eye. ]

small beauties & a warm day
[ A view from a height, over a broad plain covered in low brown grass. The lake peeks out from behind a bit of a hill to the right, & beyond it are higher rolling hills capped with sparse evergreens. ]
I haven’t been able to get the boys out very often, between the Giftmas rush & the cold, but last Wednesday it got up into the 60s, & I stuffed the lot of us into the van & headed for the lake. Continue reading small beauties & a warm day
in which some cats are Up Cats, some cats are Down Cats
[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby wearing a black harness, is occupied with digging a trench in pine-needle-laden soil. It’s about as long as his body, & yes, he flopped into it as soon as he was done digging. ]
Major Tom is distinctly a Down Cat. Continue reading in which some cats are Up Cats, some cats are Down Cats
halping
[ A big grey tabby lays on his side in the sun, facing the camera; his eyes are squinted mostly shut, & his belly is a lovely expanse of soft fuzzy paleness. ]
Major Tom decided to help me last week when I had a bunch of new jewelry to take pictures of. He is, as you can see, exceptionally good at helping. Or possibly, halping.
a mighty flopping
[ Major Tom, a large grey tabby, is flopped on his side on a light tan carpet. One forepaw is tucked up against his chest, & the other one is stretched out. ]
I managed to get pictures of Tom doing his Very Appealing Flop! Missed the rolling part, but we’ll get there. Continue reading a mighty flopping
