doesn't look there is a fence between you and her ... could have just gone over and help yourself ?
"...even @Clix Pix likes cats unless we keep posting cat pics for the next 3 days (sorry, couldn't resist )"
Meeeeow!!! LOL! Yeah, I do like cats, have had them rule my household in years past, but.....
Enough's enough already with the cat thing, guys!! Please! There's so much out here in the world to shoot! The idea behind the Photo Association Game thing is for people to share an image, and then the next person comes along and shares an image based on some element in the first one, and the person after that picks up on some other element and so as a result, over time we have a fun variety of images. That's what makes and keeps the game challenging and interesting.
Variety also is a winner in the POTD thread, too, at least from my perspective. We get to see images shared by people who live all around the world in different environments and different cultures than our own, and that is fascinating. To me, seeing the same type of image or subject over and over and over gets really boring. It's like playing the same musical note repeatedly, again and again. After a while that either loses its impact or becomes downright irritating -- and neither is the kind of situation which most of us desire when sharing our images, eh?
This is one reason I make it a point in the POTD thread not to post photos of the same subject several days in succession, because I realize that while I might love seeing a zillion photos of Alfred, others might not. I could inundate the POTD thread with Alfred! LOL! I won't, though, I assure you, relax, rest easy..... So one day I post an image of Alfred, the next day it might be a flower or a fish or a goose or a close-up examination of some object sitting around my house, or occasionally some weird thing I saw somewhere and found interesting...... I like seeing new and different things as they actually are and from time to time also seeing how I can make the ordinary look extraordinary, and capturing the intriguing visual possibilities all around us in life when I can with the camera, and I appreciate it when others do the same.

True, but no one "theme" dominates the association game for long.
Plus it seems like once the theme changes, we will see a fair amount of associated photos and before too long the theme changes to something else.

From stones underneath the cat in the last picture to stones along the side of the trail that I ran on Saturday.
[No more cats... for now... ?]
[No more cats... for now... ?]
stones to hold the track in place ...
Railroad track with a sign nearby.
At first glance I thought the sign said "Look out for the cats" ?
Remnants of years gone by. Back in the 1930's there was the Sacramento Northern Railroad that went from Oakland CA to Sacramento. Started in Oakland, went through a tunnel and came out along the Redwood Road to Moraga then on to Walnut Creek then turned north to Sacramento. To get across Suisun Bay, they used a ferry to transport the cars, since they couldn't afford a bridge. They ran single electric powered cars, much like trolleys (see next photo). The tracks were where the gravel road is in the photo, the just left the crossing sign for nostalgia. That's me in the mirror taking the picture!

A car similiar to ones that ran on the Sacramento Northern. This is a restored car from the Western Train Museum that I rode on.
Time to shake things up.
"bread" and "train" each have 5 letters.

Simple to make and tasty...
Something to go with the bread
And after eating all that delicious food, you eventually end up here...
