She was fine after a few minutes (she gets easily distracted 😀). In fact, she didn't want to go home at the end of the walk. Usually, as soon as we reach the east end of the park and I set the transporter down, she jumps right in. This time, she wanted to keep exploring!

And then turn into a scared squirrel when a friendly dog runs up to them 🤣 Don't worry, she got down. Eventually.

And here, on the edges of the park, we find the elusive felid. Silent. Patient. Ready to pounce. #Caturday

A black-and-white pirate cat wearing a red harness with a leash crouches in a stalking pose in lush grass. She's supre focused on something ahead of her, probably a birb. There's a weathered brick wall behind her.

Almost didn’t make it in time, but here are some asters and bees for your Friday evening #bloomscrolling. #FlowersForFriday

A top-down macro of a honey bee perched on white aster flowers. The bee is near the center and angled downward to the right. Its translucent wings, abdomen and thorax are clearly visible. Sadly, the photo is over a week old. While the weather is still quite nice for October, the asters are a bit worse for wear now.

After what feels like 10,000 years my latest Birth of China video is free! This one covers the Chinese Late Neolithic, a period that saw the emergence of large urban centers throughout the North and South, the appearance of grand burial traditions, and perhaps even early states. Check it out!

A black-and-white pirate cat on a red leash is prowling toward the camera across dirt scattered with fallen maple seeds. Her gaze is focused on something ahead of her. There's a trunk of a huge tree immediately behind her, as well as a leafy green tree and a wall partially covered with red autumn ivy further back.

The face of a neighborhood heartthrob. Hide your daughters. #caturday

A tabby cat with a white patch on his chest, neck and muzzle lies upside down on stone pavers with his side against the edge of a rock garden. He looks toward the camera, showing his lips and the tip of his tongue in a goofy expression. His eyes are golden-green, his whiskers are on-point, and his nose is orange-pink. One of his paws is extended forward. Blurred foliage is in the background.

A close-up of a tabby cat named Dick standing on a weathered wooden bench. Dick's leaning directly toward the camera with an intense gaze. He has a white chest, "shoes", and a patch across his muzzle. Yes, his whiskers are on-point (and in focus). The gazebo background is softly blurred.
