Just a few from the backyard yesterday.
Feral kitty watching something in the honeysuckle - maybe a small lizard.
The eyes have it. Noticed he has a little injury to his ear when I d'loaded this.
Spotted this little critter on the Tropical Milkweed. He is all legs & antenneas
Mz Goldie reworking her web yesterday morning. She has been eating a LOT of bugs!!
Great photos - love the kitty closeup and the spider most .

Thank you for looking & taking the time to comment, axelsabro. The feral kitty hangs out a lot in the neighbor's yard & under his outbuilding. In these shots, he was bravely investigating my back yard/fence. He probably ventures over after dark .. just haven't caught him yet. :-D The Orb Weaver spider has been in my garden all summer, catching bugs & getting fat. There are many pics of her on UHH if you want to look - just search on my name for the images I have posted.
Very nice and I love ♥ the second shot. What a sweet kitty. Thanks for sharing with us :)

You can click on a user's name (like right here in this thread), then scroll down to "Number of topics created." To the right of that is a link called "List."
Fun photos! Your antennae/legs insect is very cool. Hope someone ID's for us.

Thank you, lovemypups. The kitty hangs out across the fence around my neighbor's outbuilding. He is very photogenic & when I catch him up on the fence, I can't resist a quick shot or 2. Thanks for looking & taking the time to comment.

Thanks, Linda. Always appreciate your comments & opinions. Just proves that there is always something in nature to get a shot of.
As far as I was able to determine with a GOOGLE search & BugGuide, this critter is a Scudder's Bush Katydid nymph.

Thanks for looking & commenting, LLucas. The bug, as far as I have been able to determine, is a Scudder's Bush Katydid nymph. He will molt a couple of more times before he attains his adult size & solid green color. I love to listen to them when they start singing in the evening.

Thank you for looking & commenting, Carole. The kitty is a little cutie. Glad you liked the photos.
We always had a pair of feral cats that lived under the patio at the library where I worked for awhile. They were well fed by the staff, and would even come into the staff lounge. Eventually, they came to trust the two ladies who fed them and allowed them to to pet them and eventually take them to the vet. I captured two of their kittens. One was young enough to be pretty domestic but the other would hide until coaxed out. At 3am, though, you could hear them chase through the house, followed by our dog. Talk about a circus!!
