That's really beautiful! Thank you for the follow, also.

Thanks! I'm really fond of the pink sunsets and the water that night was very still so it made for a nice reflection on the bay.

Nice! Just checked it out on Youtube and I can see what you mean. The Greek Theater is only few miles from where I live, it's in a beautiful area of Berkeley.

My family had lilac bushes in the yard when I was young, so that is a very familiar, long ago remembrance. I don't see them so often in the San Francisco area.

Thank you! I do, also

That's cute! 🌸🌷🌸

Thank you!

OMG! That's so funny. Beautiful, no doubt talented, cat!

So fluffy! He's adorable.

Beautiful!

He's a little different than most of the night herons we have in my neighborhood. They are usually rounder and with their heads drawn in so you can't see their necks. This one looks sort of sleek and debonair!

Thanks! 🌸🌷🌸

Thank you! 😸

Thank you! She is a sweetie!

Thanks! She's a very sweet girl!

Riley wishes everyone a Happy Caturday as she lounges on her favorite scratcher.

She is! Thanks!

Here's Chloe at five weeks old. She's being held by the woman who fostered Chloe and Riley's litter. Had to wait another month to adopt them which seemed like forever. They were born a month after the pandemic shelter in place started. 🐈  📷  #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats of BSKY, #Cats, #Cats!

Chloe is puzzled and perhaps a little concerned as I explain that I posted a photo of her sister Riley recently followed with her baby picture and now I was doing the same for Chloe.

How wonderful!

What a beautiful girl! It's quite an honor to have a feral cat accept you into their life. Sorry for your loss. I never forget those who are now gone. I had two elderly kitties die at the beginning of the pandemic and it was several months before I adopted Chloe and Riley. 💔

🤣🤣🤣

With the exception of Julia, a beautiful tabby, my cats have all been calico or tortie with their quirky personalities. Hope the kitten distribution system comes through for you!

😻😊😻

Thank you! I think she is, too!

Thanks! I agree!!!

Riley the first day I met her. She was five weeks old and was being cared for by a foster family with her litter mates, including her sister, Chloe. It was over a month before the shelter allowed the adoptions, which was a very long wait. 🐈  📷  #Tortie + Calico Cats, #Cats of BSKY, #Cats, #Cats!

Riley says, "Good morning," back! Cute kitties! ❤️

One of the most difficult aspects of the early years of Covid, were the supply chain disruptions which meant I could not always get the "right" kinds of cat food that Chloe and Riley were used to eating. "Right" being the food they liked. It was stressful.

Great shot, though.

Oh, dear.....that's not good. :( Hope your luck improves soon.

Remarkable!!! Beautiful photos.
