The weather yesterday and today here has been absolutely perfect! This afternoon, I decided to take a walk up the trail (well, really a rough dirt road) from our house. The flowers are in full bloom now, and so it's REALLY beautiful. This year, the dominant flower in this area seems to be the white daisy, but there are plenty of other kinds of flowers, as well. Every year it's a little different.
A ways up the road there is a cattle guard where the pasture begins. It's actually new within the last year or so. Before that, there was a make-shift gate which, too often, was left open, allowing the cows to wander in our neighborhood and sometimes even get lost.
Before I had gotten far at all, two of our outdoor cats, Mr. B and Priscilla, were right there with me. Mr. B often follows me if I go for a walk, but Priscilla usually doesn't. Sometimes their mother, Beatrix, follows us, too. But they ALL have their limits on how far they will go. On this walk, Mr. B stopped about half to two-thirds of the way to the cattle guard. But Priscilla continued even a little PAST the cattle guard!
Here are some pictures of the 2 cats that I snapped with my iPhone. In this first picture, you can see both of them looking at the flowers. Okay, so that's probably not REALLY what they were looking at!
Here's a good shot of Mr. B:
And here's a great one of Priscilla:
Finally, here's Priscilla navigating the cattle guard (she had already gone down between the bars to check out what was below!):
