SENTRY DUTY
When I arrived at the farm to feed the cats on Saturday morning, the tree shown in the photo above was covered with ice crystals and dancing with sparkles in the shifting light. It was also bedecked with cats! Lucky, the big jet black adolescent male and Tiger, his litter mate, and the yellow refugee from across the road were serving self-appointed sentry duty. When they saw that the "food lady" had arrived, they quickly abandoned their post in their effort to beat me to the door. After driving home to retrieve my camera and returning to take pictures, the tree was playing host to a flock of little birds. On closer inspection I observed that the feather-shaped ice crystals lining each limb were also standing "at attention" in the direction of the winter morning sun.
