Too Much Kitty Coffee
Silver: “Hey there Paparazzo! You’re bothering me, boy!”
“I think I had too much kitty coffee this morning!”
Intermission: “Watcha see out there, Spunk?” “Well Marble, there is supposed to be a comet. And it supposedly has a tail! Do you think it’s a kitty comet?” “If it’s Neowise, it has to be a kitty comet. Otherwise, it couldn’t be ‘wise’ now could it?”
“Wired with a weird, wacko paparazzo bothering me. What’s a poor cat to do?”
“Get outta my face or face the freaking consequences!”
Coyote, Comet, Iron Cross
A coyote sauntering along the levee looks back to check out the paparazzo.
The Neowise comet from 7/20. That was the only clear sky we had last week.

Oh! We’ve been seeing daddy owl, but not mama owl or the owlets.

Dawn & Did
Dawn this morning.
Urban Katydid hanging on the outside of the glass between the 5th and 6th levels of the parking structure enjoying the view of downtown Albuquerque.
Bothered Bumblebee
The buzz off
“Hey, there boy. You’re bothering me.” This poor bumblebee was trying to feed on the echinacea when other bees kept pestering it and T-boning it. I was not able to capture a T-bone, but you can see how the bumble is knocked “off-center” and ends up “not even” right after being slammed into by other flying insects.

An Artist & Her Dog

Lilies, Daisy, Black-Eyed Susan, Rio Samba
I don’t know what type of lilies these are. I’m pretty sure we got them as a collection from Brecks, but that was years ago, and Brecks doesn’t offer anything that looks like these lilies on their website.
Ladybug on a daisy.
This lily is part of the collection, the same type of lily in a different color.
