Crows at Play

When I went to the bank yesterday the crows were playing in the lawn. I had my carry camera, Lumix GF1 with a 20mm ƒ/1.7 lens, so the images are cropped to 800% of their original sizes.

We discovered Puck had an infection last Sunday, and we had to give him antibiotics all week — this morning was his follow up appointment.  He made two figure 8’s through the house and catio, running behind the couch, then diving through the cat door and getting on the highest plank in the kitty jungle gym in attempts to avoid getting caught and put into the cat carrier. On his last run into the catio, he made a daring leap from the high plank onto the beam that supports the roof joists. Tottering 10 feet above the slab between two rafters, he finally gave up as he saw he had no more options when I climbed up to get him. After we got him in the carrier, he spun around like Disney’s Tasmanian Devil until Laurie calmed him down. He was very quiet during the ride to the vet, acted the perfect kitty angel for the tech and the vet, and when the exam was over, he couldn’t wait to get back into the carrier that he had given me so much grief over just 30 minutes earlier.  Puck is back to full health, so no more antibiotics — whew!
