Our pets are such a joy, aren't they? The dog tries to steal the cat food, the cats get into the dog's food when nobody's looking, and all three of them take it for granted they'll be given choice morsels off our plates. They have trained us wonderfully well...LOL!
Easiest way to take pictures of animals...when they are a sleep or when the are waiting for food. I start doing something with food and they don't move a muscle...or blink.
Hi Pat, just stopping back in to answer your question about the location of the burnt Joshua Trees. I found them driving into Wrightwood on the Angeles Crest Hwy soon after exiting the 138. You may be familiar with the 138, it is where the Mormon Rocks are. Happy Trails!
Re: your comment on my post. I'm so glad you wife's relatives in Japan are safe. They are SUCH graceful and patient people. We can learn much from them, during this incredibly difficult time. Whenever I start to complain about some "little" thing, I think of the millions without heat and food, and repent.
And aren't animals wonderful! I love this photograph!!
Rosemary - I understand that! I'm pretty good at ignoring them, but my wife, not so much!
Baby Sister - Thanks so much!
Jesse - It could be a disguise!
Jhon - Because there are plenty of them available!
John - It just might be! Have you seen him around lately?
Shrinky - thanks! Delicious for them anyway...
m. - thanks so much Michaela!
Miss Becky - Thanks so much! I'm not sure where they got them!
Eliza - Thanks so much for commenting!
Nevine - The one on the right always defers to the black one. I guess that's because she was the runt of her litter and the black one was feral at one time.
Sergio - Cat's are pretty much the same everywhere!
altadenahiker - She sure does look like it! A racoon that is attached to my wife whenever possible.
Brad - That is so funny! That never entered my mind, now I can't get the image out of it...
Stickup Artist - Yes I am! Thanks so much for the info...
Ann - They are really up against it over there right now. Earthquake, tsunami, volcano erupting, radiation, etc...
tapirgal - They sure are! thanks!
Megan - I'm a big time cat person... I'm sorry you don't yours anymore. Nevine -
