Feline Fotoshoot

11/18/09: I want you to meet a friend of mine….’Lil’ Momma’ as she is called is a cat that roams the neighborhood in which I live. I hesitate to call her a stray cat, as she is much too friendly with me..and other people to deem her as totally stray. I have come to love this little cat….she is adorable, friendly, sweet & many times silly like a clown. She is a  very animated and verbal cat, as she is also known as “Meow Meow” because she likes to talk so much. She greets me almost 90percent of the time coming and going from my house. I will be getting out of my car and I will hear the faint but constant ‘meow..meow…meow…meow…” as she runs from way down the street or in between houses to come and talk to me, welcome me home. She has really won my heart…food and water bowls are kept full on the front patio for her(and some of her feline friends) for her convenience, but I must say she was visiting long before any drinks or appetizers were being provided. On this day I came home only to find her running up the driveway to greet me in her usual fashion…she seemed to have alot to say…so I just sat down in the driveway and we ‘talked’…she talks with her paws, her tail, definately her eyes as she looks right at me with many expressions…her body movements show her to be completely comfortable in her surroundings, purrrfectly content and happy…with a few serious moments, a few comical moments, she told me alot about what goes on in the neighbor after dark. Of course I had my camera on me, and she was gracious enough to allow me to take a few photos…and without a doubt enjoyed the attention. I love this little cat…she is such an endearing
little girl.

I Found a Place …

IMG_1649sm
11/10/09: …I Found a Place where the birds are many, and the Gators too. A Beautiful place where tropical birds  fly free of worry, Gators roam at their leisure & wildflowers are in constant bloom. The landscape is wonderous and mysterious at the same time. Critters of every kind may be found around any turn, Armadillos, Opossums and yes, even wild Boars. It is truly a feast for the eyes …and ears. I have been there 3 times now having only found it about 5 days ago. The place is, you ask, Circle B Bar Reserve and it is right here in Lakeland, Florida, less than 10 minutes from where I live. While I cannot believe I had not found it sooner, being so close by, I am thrilled about the many possible future visits to this place. This is nature at its best…Florida at its best…Marsh, Wetlands & wildlife galore.
