Stray Cat : Stray tomcat that's been hanging around our house the past couple of days. Very thin, he looks like he weighed much more once upon a time. While we can't take in a cat ourselves, we'd love to find out who he belongs to! Unfortunately, he has no collar, but he does appear neutered (I thought he was a she at first, but research and someone who knows much more about cats than I do corrected me). He's very vocal, affectionate, and not too skittish around people! Royal Ranch - Surprise, AZ

Seattle Trip April 2012 : Photos taken during my April 9-13 trip to Seattle. Day one was a photo-walk with a former co-worker. Many of the latter photos also came from a trip up the Space Needle around sunset. My favs are sorted toward the front of the gallery, with the balance of the trip to follow in chronological order.
