What the kitten is staring at so intently is a blue jay eating the cat kibble I’ve been leaving out for the kittens.
The blue jay is bigger than the kitten.
Wise kitten, watches from afar! :-D

Lighting up the sky
Some video from the storm we had a little while ago.
Though we had quite the light show at midnight, we were very fortunate. Across a lake to the west of us, a tornado touched ground, causing quite a bit of damage, and resulting in one death. The Reeve of that municipality declared a state of emergency to deal with the damage.

Beautiful Shaggy Friends
The babies are getting so big!
I love when they are at the fence by the road. Such gorgeous animals.
On a side note, when the time comes to replace our fences, this is kinda what I want to have. Pressure treated wood posts, and a steel wire mesh, rather than the barbed wire we have always had. It’ll cost a pretty penny, but will last much longer, look better, and be more secure.

Busy Birds
I almost got a photo of the nuthatch upside down, but it flipped around too quickly!
It’s been a while since we’ve seen white throated sparrows. Nice to see them back. :-)

Morning Rays
I visited the beach after dropping my daughter off at work today. It was so beautiful!
After the storms last night, the lake is very calm this morning.
Though I am far from a morning person, I enjoy driving my daughter for her early shifts and being able to visit the beach this early. I hung around, taking photos, playing Pokemon Go, and looking for interesting rocks, for about half an hour. By 8:30 a.m., the beach was already getting crowded. There were even people playing beach volleyball! Well, it’s Saturday on a long weekend, so I guess that’s to be expected. Especially a festival weekend. There’s an annual festival held on the first weekend of August in town that has been going on for the last 80+ years here. I remember going to it as a child and teen, and it seemed to get smaller and smaller every year. By the time I moved away, I honestly wondered how much longer it would continue. Trends changed over the years, though, the the town wisely took advantage of them, and incorporated a viking village with re-enactors (turns out there’s a whole community of re-enactors that travel from festival to festival across Canada), complete with mock battles. It’s become quite huge.
Which means we’ll be avoiding it, as much as possible! LOL
As early as it still was, I headed home faster than usual because of the growing crowds, where I found another ray of sunshine waiting for me.
Teeny Tabby is so adorable!

Sleepy Kitty
Found another one…
While walking around the back of the house, I found this…
Another burnt branch, in the same place I’ve found all the other ones.
And we didn’t even have particularly strong winds lately!
Looking above, I can’t even really tell which of the dead branches up there lost a piece and hit the power line. :-(

A favorite spot
There are some exposed roots that the kittens love to just sit on.
It must be warmer on the butt or something. :-D

Sitting Pretty
The kittens love to play among my mother’s flowers. And sometimes, they like to just sit there and look pretty. :-)
