Spunk is a Cat Tree hugger.
We got a really violent thunderstorm this afternoon. The wind was strong, driving the rain sideways, and the visibility was low. The weather station recorded the event as producing 0.95 inches of rain. The wind-driven rain got almost everything on the deck wet.

Quite the collection tonight, Tim. Lovely, all. Cat tree hugger. That’s classic.
Thanks, Jeff. Spunk is always up to something.
Welcome, Tim. Indeed, and agreed.
Rain here as well, finally! Love the bunny. Great pictures.
Good to hear. Thanks, Inner Musings.
Where is the kitchen sink to catch all that water? Congratulations on finally getting a soaker. Give Spunk a hug from all of us.
The Rio Grande is a mighty river again…. Spunk was on the safe side and sought out higher ground for fear of flooding 🙂
Thanks, Rudi. The Rio Grande haw been tamed. It was once a mighty triver.
OK but at least there was much more water now compared to one of your previous blogs.
These are stunning and Spunk is a scene stealer.
Spunk has a way of doing that. Thanks, Shey.
All your ‘critters’ are epic
Buona domenica
Grazie, Simona.
Paradise as it should be… with more rain too! 😉
I hope beaver, bunny and critters had time to seek shelter.
The critters seem to find shelter. Thanks, Marina.
😌
We all need that rain. A lot of plants are giving up in my garden. Weatherman predicts a few rain showers the next days but still high temperatures…
Lets hope you get some rain, too. Thanks, Herman.
When I watched your storm video yesterday, I was wondering if things on your deck got wet!
Everything was dry are the rain, but yesterday’s rain got everything wet.
Love the bunny and I am a tree hugger myself LOL…. Glad you got some rain….. Love those dramatic skies 🙂
Thanks, Sue. The bunny is a cue little guy or gal.
I thought Spunk might be a car tree destroyer. But it’s good to know he’s got a loving side
He does his share of destroying. All the cats love clwing on the roped pillers. They have almost clawed through the pillers in the cat tree in the bedroom. I need to find another support. Thanks, JYP.
Wow. What a difference some rain makes! Gorgeous shots. Love the tree-hugger Spunk 🙂
Spunk was in great form. Thanks, Dale.
🙂
Like those time span shots of the Rio Grande. Every image in the gallery fun to see, and of course Spunk does his best “Spunk” as usual.
Spunk is really good at being Spunk. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Rain at last! Spunk in charge.
Yes and yes. Thanks, Inchcock.
All are lovely. Spunk looks to be happy as can be.
I’m glad it rained for you! The RioGrande is looking refreshed. Yay!
Spunk is happy and ornery. Thanks, Nancy.
Beautiful images Tim. I’m glad you finally had good rain and recharge. We thankfully had several rain storms in the last few days.
Thanks, Brad.
Is this a second storm.
Spunkie-Poo 💋 looks so cute cat tree hugging. Hey, at least he’s not eating it……. yet.
It’s a second storm violent storm. Another storm is building up as I type. Spunk does chew on the cat trees, also. Thanks, Resa.
Have a great rain. Seems nothing is safe from Spunkie-Poo 💋
He’s a terror.
A sweet terror!
Some times.
Those are beautiful shots from your area, Tim. Sty safe during those storms. The clouds are beautiful but potentially deadly.
Thanks, Lavinia. Stormclouds haven’t done much today.
We’ve been getting severe thunderstorms nearly every afternoon for a week, and flash floods down in the wash behind our property. It’s been wonderful! We haven’t had this much rain for a long time. I’m so grateful for it!
It’s nice to get rain, but a little less drama would be nice. Thanks, Dawn.
Tree hugger or tree scratcher – either way,livin’ la vida loca!
Loco is right when it comes to Spunk. Thanks, Brian.
Hey Tim .. glad to hear it rained! Wonderful shots of Spunk .. he looks like he has his naughty hat on …
Spunk was a bit naughty. Thanks, Julie.
