Monday catch-up

Just a few photos of what has been going on around my home.

.
One last (?) monsoon storm blew in near sunset.
The bright sun plus the very dark clouds with some rain drops made for some spectacular skies.

Unfortunately that is not a spaceship zooming in from the north but a reflection of my light.
le sigh !

My phone had a hard time with the very bright sunlight deep shadows and all the colors 

through my studio window.
You can see how green the hills are and where the bright sunlight is. 

Tucson has the best skies. Just think how wonderful this could have been with a better camera and 

not shot through my studio window.

.

Sunday morning a new small herd moseyed through my side yard.

Several mums and babies with the new and most handsome leader.

He is very spiffy and he knows it  !
Strutting his walk.

and he has a nice young lady follower.

.......

I found this at Trader Joe's.

I was going to pick up some lox to have the next morning.

But I picked this up instead and it was very good. 

No onion or capers but this was very tasty with the last of the tomatoes.

I had 2 count them 2 open half faced sandwich on a plain bagel instead of a
one half of a whole grain one.
I put a scrape of whipped cream cheese, tiny tomatoes on both sides with salmon.
So lovely.

...........

Now here is what you have been asking for
here she is. . .  MERIDA !

Of course she is sitting right in front of sons monitor.

Oh My Goodness she looks cross eyed but she is staring at 

thehamish who just walked in the room.

She is not happy with thehamish she hisses at him if he gets close.

Even when she is up on a bed or desk.

Steely concentration !

Eye on the enemy.

I love cats strange eyes with the clear extended part. 

Both Merida and Oliver have huge beautiful  lime green eyes.

They are hard to take a photo of.

This is not a happy cat watching the sweet thehamish. 

He just sits there and waits for the kitties to like him.

This is why Merida was really watching thehamish. 

He was taking her place on Adam's lap.

 ..............

And........ just because I can here is your pretty for the start of the week.

.

Yes, that is Merida squished in between the shoji screen and the window.

This is her favorite place to watch the world and lizards while sitting in the sun.

There is a side opening.

She has to back out but you can find her there everyday.

One day she was backing out and Oliver would not move from the opening.

She was not happy, so she just backed over him till sorta standing on his head.

She got her footing and sorta fell off onto the pillows. 

Siblings ! 

kitties. . . parsnip

music. . .  Waltz for Lumumba,  The Spencer Davis Group
