Ariel is ready to settle into a lazy #Caturday. She is using my lap and left hand as her bed 😸 #CatsOfBluesky 🐾

A blonde DSH tabby lies on my lap, resting her head on my hand and her feet on my arm.

I don't have a good candidate for bird of the day, so here's a #SquirrelSaturday submission from February 2022. #Photography 🐿️ 📷: Nikon D850 w/AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

Happy #Friyay from Ariel, who has finally deemed me a worthy morning bed. #CatsOfBluesky 🐾

A blonde DSH tabby lies on my lap on a Christmas-themed blanket. Looking straight down, one can only see the top of her head and back. Her front paws are extended out instead of tucked in.

For #ThrowbackThursday, here's a shot from the 2022 #PortlandGP during the Friday practice on August 26. Sorry the livery is not orange and black. #Photography #Motorsports #IndyCar 📷: Nikon D850 w/Tamron 150-600mm

Colton Herta accelerates after exiting the last corner of a lap at Portland international raceway. His car, the number 26 Cambridge Honda, is mostly black with yellow trim and a few blue highlights up front. The car is in focus, but the wheels and background are blurry due to the slow shutter speed. The chain link fence between the camera and the car is spread out to make it almost invisible.

A couple of hours left on #WhiskersWednesday in the PNW, so here's a shot of Buddy's magnificent whiskers as he looks up from Ariel's bed, which he has taken over for the morning shift, since Ariel won't stop bugging him when he's in Mama's seat. #CatsOfBluesky 🐾

A dark brown and grey DMH tuxedo tabby is curled up in a small cat bed with his head lifted and looking just above the camera at my face. He has a fluorescent green collar with a translucent white Tile holder attached. The bed is on a small table in front of a window, so the morning light is making his green right eye look blue, while his left eye is in shade. He has a dark red nose with a white spot on top. Just below his nose are long, majestic whiskers, curving downward.
