I actually had a brief photo-shoot with Mr. Cardinal. He usually flies away quickly, but he stayed and posed for several shots. Some adjustments made, but the color is straight from the camera. They really stand out on the gray days.
There is a group of cats that hang around our area. They are not really feral, they have been fixed and returned. Two sleep on my front porch and are at my door at 6 am looking for food. Constant battle with the raccoons at night if I don't take the food in soon enough. They are almost as tame as the cats. One cat that lives behind me and outside most of the time is nearly blind and may be partially deaf, everybody looks after him, but his handicaps don't seem to faze him. I have seen him up on top of the fence walking along, he crosses the street and visits the neighbors. His defense is to howl a little when another cat approaches.
We have some feral and/or recently abandoned cats that come by our backyard for food.
We have been able to get 2 of them taken in by a local humane society since they were socialized (behave well around people), which helps their chances of getting adopted. One of the recent ones to come around looks friendly, so I hoping the humane society will take him in as well.
Another one of them has been around for well over a year - she is slowly but surely getting socialized (she actually will sniff my fingers if I hold them out, as compared to running away as soon as the back door was opened), and we did get her spayed so she won't make any more kittens.

Our cat wouldn't. She stays out 24/7 when the weather permits. We stayed at that inn many times and I think I saw an old black cat once, in the early days.
Thanks! I didn’t even think about the game until you mentioned it, but I can see it for sure.

Topping up its tan ???
I forgot earlier to post anything -- was busy with this-and-that, in-and-out of the house, etc., taking advantage of the nicer weather with which we've finally been blessed again.....
I'm hoping that this, something I shot the other day, is the last of this kind of photo I'll be shooting and posting this winter! I'm so, so ready to move on from snow and ice and whatnot and today felt like a lovely fresh hint of spring to come.....

Rapt attention at Scotland’s Model Railway Exhibition, two years ago.

[In reality there was a glass of water in front of the laptop he was trying to get to, but he couldn't figure out how to get to it since there was a monitor to the right of the laptop so he had no way to get to the glass.]

The last of my Larch Valley Images from Oct, 2004. Again the Oly 3.2MP P&S camera. This one could really have benefitted from newer larger sensor camera and RAW capability, but it is what it is.
This little tree rat was hanging out on our deck. Snapped it through the window in between blinds using a Sony A7III with Tamron 28-75 F2.8
Helmet Cam frame exported from MP4. My favorite pastime, 52 mph 3rd gear 6k rpm (redline is 12,500 rpm).
