Reading the news

"This is such a comfortable position for reading the paper, I don't know why you think it's not!"
Kitty wins the battle of the newspaper today :)

Skylight

Today was overcast with bouts of heavy rain followed by moments of bright sunlight and then back to rain again. The storms were clearing and the cold front moved through mid afternoon so as I came out from work it was a nice chilly fall day and this was the view that greeted me.

Veteran's Day

In honor of Veteran's Day today, I decided to get a photo of a flag. Had I been thinking, I could have brought a camera to the Veteran's Day Assembly we had at school today. We had a couple dozen honorees and an Admiral speak to us. It was quite a moving event. The sky was a great background this afternoon for this photo. I have to point out that today is November 11 and next to the flag is a pole with Christmas decorations already. That drives me crazy, it is just too early!

Trophy Cat?

Does she think she's hiding and fits in here? ;)
Dot loves to be up high, if you can't find her, she's probably on top of the kitchen cabinets, the paper sorting shelves in the scrapbooking room or on top of our bed headboard. Last night, she chose the bedroom and then nearly scared me to death when she jumped down!

Fall colors

Here's a different take on the "fall colors". I'm about to leave for work as the sun starts to show it's brilliance each morning nowadays. I couldn't help myself, this was the view out my back window as I was getting ready and I had to capture it. I stepped outside and enjoyed the fall colored sky that we had. Sunset was also beautiful, but alas, I did not take any photos of it today.

Time change

Look closely, this is not something you see every day! I thought the whole perspective would make it the most fun, so I shot the whole mirror rather than zooming in on the driver's windshield.
Yesterday, we went off of daylight savings. I always hate the change, and today was no exception. I was dreading driving to work looking into the sun and not getting to see a beautiful sunrise. However, as I was lamenting this, I pulled up to a stoplight and looked up and this is what I saw in my mirror! I might not have seen that had I been enjoying my typical morning commute of darkness into sunrise.

Fuzzball

I love how my cats always help out so much when I'm doing the laundry. I can barely pull it out of the dryer and set it down on the bed before they jump right into the pile. Usually, I just pull it out from under them and disturb their moment but today I let Sophie just lay here, she looked like a super soft cuddly kitten that just belonged in the blanket. The rich background purple of the towel with a bit of the maroon shirt behind it along with her grey fur made her stand out and yet she also just blended in with her fuzziness. I let her cuddle with the warm towel for a bit, it's not like I need it to be wrinkle free.
