Daily Photo Reprise: The Big Branch, 2010

Most of the snow is melted out there, and new snow falling is pretty but not amounting to much. Browsing photos I often encounter Cookie, including these from March 2010, as the snow slowly melted after a series of heavy storms in February and on our first excursion outdoors in

Daily Photo Reprise: Al Fresco, 2011

Mimi was not so lucky today—we stepped out to feed the birds and she only too the time to sniff a few things then run back inside! We’ve been going outside every day all winter long, but Cookie found the snow and ice just weren’t fun anymore on her 19-year-old

Daily Photo Reprise: On a Rainy Afternoon, 2011

Cookie and Mimi spend some cozy hours on the pile of pillows on my bed while the day fills with rain and fog outside the window. I often think rescued kitties take a little time on bad weather days remembering the days before their rescue. I know Mimi does because

February 2, Not Just for Groundhogs, Well, Ever

Why all the fuss about whether or not this rodent sees his shadow? February 2 isn’t “just” Groundhog Day and a holiday made by humans to break up the middle of cold winter season. It’s actually an occurrence in nature that humans have observed and found reason to celebrate long

Daily Photo Reprise: Snow Light, 2011

This is one of my favorite photos ever. Mewsette and Mr. Sunshine are simply so gracefully composed, and that grace and pose are completely natural. The cool light from the winter morning washes the background in cool colors, so the amber of their eyes and the art glass sparkles. Nothing

Dusk in the Woods

That “blue time of day”…a quick walk in the woods after a heavy snowfall as the sun set on the distant horizon, bare trees like sentinels. This time of day always carries a certain melancholy for me, as if a deep instinctive part of me realizes the sun is about

Daily Photo Reprise: Cookie in Blues and Greens, 2011

The temperature is below freezing and there is a little snow on the ground, but Cookie is in her favorite outdoor spot where I have to contort myself to get her. It’s a little game we play every morning when we go outside to fill the bird feeders and mess

From the Archives: Birdwatchers in Training, 2007

Just because there’s been so much birdwatching happening at this very window I had to share this bright photo of three of the Curious Quartet as they were investigating their new surroundings on this date in 2007. At just past four months old they were finally permitted downstairs with the

Daily Photo Reprise: Birdwatching, 2010

Mimi and Mr. Sunshine keep an eye on the activities at the bird feeders as the snow swirls around outside their window. Is it birdwatching, or meditation, both, or do the mesmerizing movements of the birds and snow lead to a meditative state? They do for me, but perhaps I’m

The Big Branch

As the winter passes and spring slowly unfolds in the back yard I’m remembering the years Cookie and I spent out there. Browsing photos I often encounter photos of her, including these from March 8, 2010, as the snow slowly melted after a series of heavy storms in February. Even
