Today is Memorial Day and I enjoyed my walk around
the resort because the Argentine Cactus had been busy
overnight getting ready for this day of celebration.
I spied 3 different species in my short
two mile walk at 5:35 a.m.
I had never seen this pointed variety before so
it received a special close-up shot.
This is what an Argentine Cactus looks like when
it's not in bloom...
and other blooms I saw were fake but showed off
nicely in the early morning light.
As I walked the greenbelt, even the cottontails were
looking good while trying not to be seen.
After my walk, Don and I were sitting out back
enjoying the shade when something caught our eye.
(Sorry the first couple of photos weren't as good
as I wanted, but I was zoomed in pretty tight.)
It was very wary and only took a step or two at a time
before it stopped to look around and
then hid behind the walk way light post. Don and
I tried very hard to to move or make a sound
because we didn't want it to run away.
A feral cat an un-owned domestic cat (Felis catus) that lives outdoors
and avoids human contact: it does not allow itself to be handled
or touched, and usually remains hidden from humans.
They are more likely to be nocturnal; occasionally out during the day
and we were honored to have seen it up close and personal
before it snuck away.
A great way to start off Memorial Day.
