Lovely landscapes - I particularly like the one with the red foot bridge.
Thank you for the praise. That photo was taken at Schnormeier Gardens in Gambier, Oh. Mr. Schnormeier opens the gardens up to the public one weekend in June every year.
That cat drinking water brought back memories. She looks like the cat I had growing up. Her name was Tassel. And my mom's name was Bonnie.
My housemate was shopping at Petsmart one day and went past the room where a cat rescue keeps cats that are available for adoption. When she got home she said that she saw a cat that looked like her "Chrissy" who had died the year before at age 16. Actually she said that there were two "Chrissies". Since they were litter mates, she decided to adopt both of them-a male and female. We changed their names to Bonnie and Clyde. Nine months later she came home with their siblings, Lily and Layla.
