Saw this cat sitting on fence watching birds. She eventually sauntered down the fence line to home, knowing the food waiting there did not need to be chased.
Thank you for taking the time for a closer look. Your time and comments are so much appreciated.

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone

Photographed at the Lakeside STA
Yes that is the same fence from which the wet web bung in the prior photo - a two-fer.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA)
Located in western Martin County, the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area plays a crucial role in the restoration of the Lake Okeechobee watershed by improving the quality of water flowing into the lake. The wetlands treats stormwater runoff from the Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough basins to the north before that runoff enters Lake Okeechobee.
Approximately 2,700 acres of Lakeside Ranch is open to the public to enjoy hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or simply relaxing. The recreation area is surrounded by levees that are accessible to visitors on foot or on bicycle.
Looking through old family-photos caused me to pause a moment to reflect on my whining about Covid travel restrictions and compare my plight to the situations faced by my parents and grandparents.
My father’s ancestors migrated to the USA during the “Potato Famine” in Ireland where it was a choice of starve or move. My mother’s family were Texas farmers who migrated to California during the “Dust Bowl” and Great Depression. My mother’s family-story is quite similar to the tale in Kristin Hannah’s excellent novel “The Four Winds” …an excerpt from the book “Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era.”
Guess I’ll cease my whining about travel restrictions and be thankful for all the good in my life.
