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.

That's a nice thought, Mare. Rockwell meets Manhattan. :-) My grandmother was holding the turkey. At left is my dad's sister and (barely visible) her daughter. Across from them are my mom and my dad's sister's husband.

No fog here this morning. Lots of sunshine and it's currently 62º. We are so fortunate to have this string of warmer weather. The cold will come soon enough. I have a couple of pictures of the "red" that is around me right now. The first is my little japanese maple tree and the second is what is coming up after planting a couple of "helicopters" from what I thought was the japanese maple. Now I'm not to sure what I have. :)

Gorgeous photo, Casey! Beautiful sunrise, Nicole! This was taken the other day when we were out burning brush piles:
