We have a visitor.
While M (
arianna_r) visits a friend, we're taking care of her cat. So far, there's been a lot of hissing, skulking, and tail-fluffing. ChiCha is big enough to take care of herself (and mostly the tension is between the her and my other female cat, whom she well outweighs).

The sky is a bit blown, but I love this place. This land is part of the Nature Conservancy of Texas.






I hope people don't mind me posting an advert - I genuinely think people from this community might be interested in this:
Renaissance Photography competition website
This year, the Renaissance has a specific landscape category. There are so many stunning images posted on this community, that I think members would have a really good shot in the competition. This year's judges are Michael Hoppen, Eamonn McCabe, Charlie Waite & Brigette Lardinois, and the prize fund is £5000 (aprox $8300 USD)
Every penny raised goes to the breast cancer charity The Lavender Trust so its in a really good cause.
Thanks for reading, and good luck to those who enter!

Details of a fountain in downtown San Francisco, earlier today.
After considerable thought, I'm undecided about whether this photo is appropriate for this community. Air, water, sunlight, and gravity are natural, but a lot of artifice clearly went into the fountain. I did find it beautiful. I'm willing to delete this post (or have it deleted) if the community moderator so rules.
