Camera-Critters Kitties and Deer and Vultures, Oh My!

Camera-Critters is hosted by Misty Dawn. Each week we post photos of our favorite critters. To see other participants or to join in the fun click on the camera icon. You just never know what you will see!

My previous posts this week have been about a visit to my son and daughter-in-law. These two lovely kitties are my "Grandpaws" as we like to say. They are as sweet as can be and as soft and furry as they look.

The Kitties

This is Jack who just couldn't seem to keep his eyes open! He had been sleeping on his window seat and heard us wandering around and sat up but he wasn't really ready to end his nap.

A rare shot of Jack laying down on the patio! Jack is usually running here and there and it's hard to capture him on camera. If you enlarge this one you can better see how the light caught his eyes and reflected. I thought it made him look rather cool. His eyes really are the same color.

This is Susie! She likes sleeping!

The Deer

A couple of weeks ago you may remember I posted a deer that had come to visit. This week's visitor was very brave. I took this through my sunroom window. She was less than ten feet from the side of the house. In the bottom right corner of the photo you can see part of my flowerbed. Luckily there wasn't anything in bloom at the moment that she wanted to nibble so she wandered on into the nearby woods.

The Vultures

We rounded the bend on our rural road Tuesday evening and this was the sight that greeted us.

We often see vultures flying or standing beside the road. I wasn't prepared to see a whole army guarding one piece of roadkill! Ah, country life! You can't beat it!
