Thanks Party! Lovely x-mas cactus you have! ******************************************************************** St. Croix @ 12' under the Frederiksted pier....juvenile angel fish...

I should get the missus to take a picture of me taking a nap. That would put a bit of variety in the mix of sleeping animals!

Sunrise this morning, Vilamoura Portugal

Lots of really cute felines in the photos today! Some closely resemble some of my old friends. Daisy's color and long legs bring to mind a girlfriend's cat. He is quite the jumper! It is extremely rare for a healthy bobcat to attack a human, so I was not really concerned when encountering it during the hike. The number of coyote attacks have really increased over the years, though. I have not met up with an aggressive coyote personally, although quite a few are unafraid of people. Usually it is the urban coyotes that attack, so the event frequently takes place in community parks, or with dog walkers, and often the human targets are children.
