golden autumn

neighborhood cat
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The American Notebooks

I usually go out in the afternoon for a bicycle ride or run, but last Thursday, the sunrise beckoned me out for a walk. On my way out of the neighborhood, I met this kitty cat.



I don't know his name and haven't figured out which neighbor he resides with, but I see him everywhere. My house is along his territorial path, but he always disappears before I have a chance to get out the back door to visit with him. This time, I met him on a neighborhood trail. He was sitting quietly and allowed me to settle near him and take his picture.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
