Spunk: “Bah, Solstice humbug! The stinking day lasts too stinking long on stinking Solstice!”
Venus and the sliver moon at dust again.

Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, Molly.
Love the cat photographs.
Thanks, Gigi.
All of your cats are beautiful. Your other photographs are beautiful as well, but the cats keep stealing my heart.
Our cats are hart stealers and heartbreakers. Kind of rotten when you think about it.
Beautiful, Tim. I especially love the daisy and the night sky looking north. Spunk’s not happy with the longest day. 🙄 Happy Solstice anyway! 😊🎶 Christine
Cats like night. Thanks, Christine.
I think all cats are like that. Sigh. But I give my heart freely and they can do as they will. 🙂
That’s what you have to do with cats.
Spunk, Spunk, Spunk, be nice now.
Nice is against his kitty code of conduct. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim. 🙂
The photos are beautiful, Tim, especially the dandelion seed head composition. The lighting is perfect. Happy Solstice! And I love dear little Spunk in any photo he appears in. 🙂
Thanks, Lavinia. Spunk has a presence.
Love Spunk’s “thoughts” 🙂and the bug’s, and the southern sky.
Thanks, Dawn.
haha.. Spunk wake up, it’s only one day. Look at your dad’s great photos.. ❣️
Hahaha! Thanks, Cindy.
The sharp focus detail on the dandelion is insane, and I love the others too. Figures that Spunk would be the curmudgeon.
Spunk is a kitty curmudgeon. Kitties like nighttime. Thanks, JYP.
Haha good point
A vibrant day you’ve had! The sky was gorgeous tonight! Happy Solstice!
Thanks, Michele.
Spunk’s reaction got me 😂 Love the sky pics. 🌟
Thanks, Inner.
Happy solstice…(a day late). our days are so long now…with daylight until almost 11 p.m.
We are pretty dark by 9:30. We are a lot further south. Thanks, Janet.
And to you TImothy. Thank you for all the wonderful pics you share.
You are welcome, Shey. Thanks for you continued friendship and support.
Thank YOU for yours x
Happy Solstice to you! And bah-humbug, Spunk! That is a pretty cool beetle hanging out in the daisies…
It’s a big colorful beetle. Thanks, Dale.
It sure looks it!
wow amazing
Thanks, plgraphy.
Spunk, you can celebrate now… days get shorter from now on!!! 😉
Gorgeous night skies!
Happy Solstice, Tim!
Spunk still the days are to long, but he has no choice but to deal with the days. Thanks, Marina.
Well, you can tell him that at least they are no longer getting …longer! 😉 🤣
Beautiful… I hope you enjoyed your Solstice Tim… ❤
Beeeautiful photos to celebrate the beginning of summer!!! Happy summer! ☀️ Especially love the beetle in the daisy!
Thanks, Samantha. It’s a beautiful beetle.
Beautiful summer
As the wheels begin to turn
It is Beetle who did it for me.
Thanks, abvr.
Most welcome Timothy
I like the dancing ghost clouds.
Thanks, Brad.
Spunkie-Poo 💋 sure looks like he doesn’t need a collar in that shot.
That striped beetle is wild looking.
Great last shot, Tim! xx
Thanks, Resa. Spunk is fooling you. That collar is only a few days old. It’s making him lazy.
So… as the collar gets old, the pheromones deplete and he gets more wild?
When will Spunkie-Poo 💋 get to stop wearing it? xx
I have to change them every 15 to 20 days. He starts attacking the other kitties and running amok like a Berserker kitty. The collars are supposed to work for a month, but not with a wild, psycho, Berserker kitty, like Spunk. I think he will have to wear them forever.
Huh!
I guess he’s the alpha cat.
He’s just gotta be #1!
Happy Summer! That flower with the beetle… WOW!
Thanks, Nancy.
Truly stunning night photos, Timothy. I enjoyed everyone of these photos–cool bug in the daisy (so bright!) and Spunk and their interesting personalities–but the night shots are extraordinary. When I click on them they fill my whole screen with the night. Really great that you live where the night skies shine bright and speak to you. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks, Jet. When I was a kid we could see the Milkyway clearly. Now we only see a few stars and the moon and the planets that are out.
The dandelion picture is gorgeous.
Magic…. Trying th handle picture two haha.
Pic to is a tough handle. Thanks, Geoff.
Oh such great photos and Spunk looking so spunky!
Spunk is still a spunkster. Thanks, Julie.
He will always be a spunkster!
True.
It will be okay Spunk, the long boring days will slowly get shorter now. Just dream of Tim driving you all around on his motorcycle chasing down bunnies.
Hahaha! Thanks, Brian. Spunk doesn’t need no stinking paparazzo to ride a motorcycle: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e8/60/c4/e860c420b586a154807dc0fae21671f3.jpg
