My cat and I enjoying the evening together - each

My cat and I enjoying the evening together - each of us doing one of our favorite things. I’m enjoying watching a storm roll in and she’s catching mice in the tall grass.

The first three pictures are really in reverse order. You can see in the third image how the lightning starts outs fairly thin and then explodes to what you see in the first image. No editing on these images.

My cat, Jackie, caught a mouse and brought it to me. She put it down, no doubt to play with it, and it blew away. Jackie was torn between going after the mouse and saving herself (coming inside with me). We both came inside. I put the lightning video in my stories.

This fox was born last spring and we’ve watched

This fox was born last spring and we’ve watched him grow into a self sufficient young fox. At a little over a year old he’s still very lean.

In the first photo he’s being fussed at by crows. This year the crows made half a dozen nests in our trees and chased away anything that came within a couple hundred yards. It was a daily occurrence to see a hawk fly in close, only to have 2 or 3 crows chase it off with loud squawks. The hawks were mostly just irritated but they did retreat.

While this fox’s 3 siblings have moved on, this one has stayed around and we see him almost every day. He’s mostly black; his parents were a red fox and a gray fox.

The crow’s nests are all empty now. Happily this means there are more hawks around and the fox (and our cat) can have a little peace and quiet.

Our son gets credit for the photo of the fox pouncing. #fox
