how to predict a cat yawn.....

Important information for those who need to know!

It's all in the whisker position! The whiskers point forward just prior to the yawn..... it's a muscle thing I guess. Ha! Imagine all the trivial benefits of shooting a cat photo each day of 2009. Next I'll be dreaming (or having nightmares) of taking cat pictures. Already I digress..... lol

ripples of winter morning chill.....

An American Holly Tree branch is adorned with

red berries wrapped in cascading Honeysuckle Vine

topped with a little melting brrrrry snow

surrounded softly in dreamy ripples of chilly bokeh,

all caressed by the gentle touch of sunless somber light.

Nature Snow Photograph by Carolyn Hietala

If only our lifes path could be as easily revealed..... by a simple dusting of snow.

This is a well traveled animal pathway leading into the marshy meadow part of my yard. It is used daily by deer, opossum and raccoons as their telltale tracks have shown me.
