Hey Chance, what are you taking pictures of?

We looked him/her up in the Birds of Washington book. Barred Owl. This one is a little over 12 inches tall and didn't seem to mind when I approached. I was about 15 feet away when another bird flew over and Barred followed. These were taken with a iPhone5 at my mother's house.

Mom, Granny as she is known to most, took this picture about a week ago. The reflection is of her phone in the window she took the picture through.

An above average sunset this evening, but the cat walking down the sidewalk really makes the pic..

That looks like a Calico Cat. We moved our Philadelphia Calico to the desert in Feb. of this year. And she loves it here with the rest of the indoor cats. Plus out of our control, a group of feral cats has established a colony on our property, and. They even have a colony "Annex'" in a different area we don't feed them but do water them in the dead of summer.

I put out some designer water, (It's just tap water, but I fill up some fancy waste-of-money-bottle), to make the wife think I'm giving them something over the top. It's too hot here so I do give them some water.

Nevertheless, nice photo, and you are right the cat makes the photo. Thanks for sharing, I like the photo, it's like anywhere, America.

PS...the cats have been trapped, fixed, and ear notched, micro chipped, to indicate they should be set free if trapped again. This is a new thing they do here, and other places is to catch the felines, fix em, ear notch them to ID them, and set them back where they were captured. They help keep the rodent problem down, plus cats are allowed out with no supervision if fixed.

Star watching the eclipse. He was fine until the last minute or so. Then he went psycho-kitty.

We've been hand-feeding this female for over a year. When the neighbor's cat is anywhere on the property she makes quite a racket. However, she'll walk right up to within inches of Star, since he isn't a threat.

Many years ago we were hand feeding a female squirrel. After several months of this, she disappeared for awhile. Then one day she came back and brought her babies with her to meet us and to teach them about this friendly food source. We felt very honored that she trusted us enough to bring the babies along.

It isn't every day that I get to see a new LED streetlight fixture up close. When I ran across this one laying on a sidewalk waiting to be stood up, I grabbed a picture of it.

That's the first street size LED I've seen. Interesting modular panels, five Phillips head screws and pop modules in/out.
Are the lamps functional yet, how's the CCT at night when fired up?

I haven't seen them lit up yet as it's still daylight when I leave the area for the day. I will let you know when I see it lit up. In the meantime, here's a closeup of the top of the unit.

I think you should confiscate one of these units for evidence 😁

I like the - STREETSIDE sticker. They're idiot proof. 😄

Lol, yeah - just in case someone thought the photocell was the light bulb.
