walkies II: lots of rocks
[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby, looks out the side door of the van with wide eyes. ] Tom had some Opinions about taking another walk. (He COULD have stayed at the van. I never make them follow me. They just DO, & then whine about it a lot.)

[ In the foreground, a couple of pine trees & about twenty feet of rock-covered ground. Beyond that, the view opens up, looking down onto dense forest with blue sky above. ] It was SUCH a gorgeous spot. I wish the road to get there weren’t so rough — Tom had Opinions about it, &

truck stop cats
[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, is giving one of the tires of my van a VERY thorough sniffing. ] I had to take a trip to Albuquerque earlier this week, & I was staying overnight, so of course the boys came along. We tucked ourselves up in a truck stop in
grounded
[ A tall, straight pinyon pine dominates the photo; behind it, a scattering of other trees, a cliff of rough red stone, & above that, blue sky. ] I didn’t do Woods Day on Tuesday, as I usually do, because I was having a bad brain day, so I scheduled Auxiliary Woods Day for Saturday.
more like rock scrambling
[ A steep, rocky slope, dotted with pinyon trees & lots of rocks; above that, the sky is dark grey. ] A perfect time to go rock climbing: right as the clouds roll in! … look, I didn’t say it was a GOOD idea.
