Lovely in the Sun

In my 19 years of living in the Northwest, this has got to be the loveliest October I've experienced.    It's been dry and sunny, and without the rain to nudge the leaves off of their branches, the fall color has remained intact.

This morning everything feels different.  It's cooler and overcast and it seems the gray weather has arrived and is here to stay.

In all of their weeks of existence, the Small kittens have only known sunshine-filled days.  I think they must have had an inkling that these days were coming to an end because they spent all of yesterday  chasing the rays.  

They napped in the bedroom to catch the morning sun, then moved to the craft room to soak in the afternoon rays.

I love how their ears become pink and transparent as the sun passes through and reveals a little roadmap of veins.

These Smalls are lovely in any light, but in the sunshine, they are warm and happy and they glow.

  19. Oh my stars!! Such sleepy little sun-warmed tykes. I love the way they follow the sun in their own version of photosynthesis.

    Shrimp Louie reminds me so much of our Keith. They're not exact twins (Keith was splashed with orange tabby paint on his face, and has an orange stripey tail) but their expressions often resemble each other. I wonder if Louie will have the same extra naughtiness that Keith has...

  22. All cats love the sun! Here in Portugal, Lisbon area, we still have summer temperature and we usually have lots of sun during the winter. That is the time when our two cats sleep for hours in the sun!

  23. The Smalls are such a lovely little bunch. I could just "eat them on a biscuit". Not that I would. That's just a Southernism. MOL
