Our World Tuesday: Everyday Things

Sunday was a rainy day and I found myself photographing mud and moss. My feet also got into the shot.

On another day my feet, in another pair of funny shoes, got into a shot of the butterfly weed.

I'm glad we're having a wet spring because it makes the plants happy.

The shot below of my oak tree bark was odd to me because it had been pouring rain. The rain had slowed to a drizzle when I went out but it seemed strange that one section of the tree was dry while the rest was wet.

My neighbor has reassured me that their cats don't catch birds but these shots show they do try.

Black Jack not only perched in my dogwood tree he started climbing when he heard the birds.

I keep my backyard gate shut and so far the cats haven't tried to climb the fence, so the birds can bathe on my deck in peace.

My city has a law against cats being allowed to leave their owners houses and yards but that law is ignored by some. I have mixed feelings about it but I'm pretty tolerant since I think the birds are generally able to get away from the cats. I keep my backyard protected at this point (at least until the cats start climbing my fence).

I like the way flowers look on the ground after they drop.

Click for the home of Our World Tuesday. I'm posting early because I've had trouble lately with setting posts to auto publish later. Not sure why they aren't publishing when I set them up to post later anymore. For the time being, I'm going to go ahead and post after writing them, even if they are early for the meme.
