Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. Just squeaking in - 1990

I love the color of these small agapanthus. Only a few have opened yet. #flowersonsunday #bloomscrolling #flowersky

Oops posted early for #Caturday yesterday. Here is the fuzzer on the 4th. Looks like the fireworks kept him up late last night 😹 Happy 4th! #cats #catsofbluesky

Very furry cat - mackerel tabby on sides, back, top of head and paw spot. White underneath. Crashed out on his side on a patterned rug.

Saw such a cool big moth on the screen door a couple of nights ago. I don’t know moths but looks like maybe a Copper Underwing.

Large moth in closeup on a screen. Looks soft and silky. Brownish coloration with some spots, a dark band and a lighter band at the end of the wings with some orangish hindwing peeking through. I

Happy International Rescue Cat Day from the fuzzer, who celebrated in style. He was abandoned when his prior family moved away and was feral for a few months. I’m always so happy to see him relaxed and comfortable. ❤️ #internationalrescuecatday #adoptdontshop #catsofbluesky

Furry white and mackerel tabby cat stretched out on a white fuzzy blanket, belly up with his cute face towards the camera.

Our sliding glass door did exactly that while we were sitting in our living room. We thought someone shot at it! Scary.

A sliding glass door from a living room to a deck with patio furniture is open to the air and a pile of tempered glass pieces is lying in the floor below it.

A phone pic of an orange sunrise last week over and under a low marine layer. This was the day after dry lightning sparked fires over much of California. North Bay - San Francisco area. #stunday #orangesun

A sunrise over a ridge of trees and houses with a thick layer of orange over a low marine layer of fog and a thin layer of dusty pink. A brilliant pink sun just peeks out above the tree line.

Furry white and tabby cat sitting patiently posed at the bottom of a stairwell with its front paws together gazing up at the camera at the top of the stairs. Seems to want something.

excuse my reach while I make my #caturday biscuits #cats #catsofbluesky

Very furry white and tabby cat sitting on a striped blanket on a sofa where the cat is taking up most of the room. You can just see the edge of some pants hanging off the side of the sofa where a little room is left. The cat looks intently into the camera with its paw is stretched toward the lens and buried in the blanket to knead some “dough”.

wishing you all a peaceful #caturday #gratitude

These California native gray foxes are known to climb trees, and they can scale this fence in the yard with ease. But a few nights ago this one decided to hang out for a few minutes and enjoy the deck. I grabbed a bunch of photos on my phone through my back door. What a beauty. 💙 #foxes #mammals

Small gray fox with the classic salt-and-pepper coat and red chest sitting on the cross rail of a hog wire fence just behind an oval flowerpot filled with pink blossoms. Its head is cocked a little to the side and it has a slight grin. Its ears are swiveled back and to the side towards airplane mode. Its long furry tail is hanging over the fence toward the viewer.

I enjoyed the belated obituary for Walasse Ting in the NYT, part of “a series about remarkable people whose deaths …went unreported in The Times”. I love the lightness and vibrant colors of his work.This poster has traveled with me for many years since I was a young student.💙 #art #ting #cat #beauty

A framed poster of a crouching dark blue cat with light greenish-blue eyes and a reddish-pink nose. Its little white paws are curved beneath it and the background is light blue. There is red Chinese lettering or figures in a small square on the lower left. The style is Chinese ink line drawing with bold vivid colors. The frame is light green. It is beautiful.

Text hidden by the frame reads “Walasse Ting” and “Tous droits réservés-all rights reserved”. © copyright Yves Riviére, éditeur, Paris.”
