May Photo Challenge – May 3

I did get outside in the morning today but it was already late enough that the sun was too bright to be of much help.

Our cat was quite excited to have one of the family hanging out in her territory. She’d been in the front yard and heard me out in the back. Next thing I knew, she was climbing one of the shrubs and onto the fence to see me. She is not so agile now that she is about six years old and it took her a while before she braved jumping to the ground from there. But once firmly on the ground, she regained her confidence and happily showed off by rolling around on the ground.

Here she is working the cuteness factor to her advantage. After this, she followed me around until I returned into the house.

The light was too strong by the time I took this photo and the pesky breeze kept moving my subject. This is a flower from our olive grevillea bush in the front yard that is most visible from behind the fence to the backyard. The bush has become surrounded by other plants and you wouldn’t know it was there unless viewing from the backyard.

My morning session wasn’t as productive as I’d like so I returned to the land of gazanias in late afternoon again.

Both of these are from the same gazania plant that has heaps of flowers growing from it. None of the other plants is nearly as bountiful in blooms as this one.
