I'm in my feels

A normal morning routine

CREDITS

Animals and humans aren’t that different both have routines. This routine has been one of Lily’s since we watched a raccoon come into the back of the garden one evening. She watched as it moved through then like a shot she was off like a rocket chasing the raccoon. No doubt the raccoon understood it was not welcome here. It was a little mind blowing to witness such territorial behavior from her. Ever since this has been her after dinner routine she walks out to the spot of the encounter and guard duty begins. In my life I’ve never seen a cat be so possessive. She’s still not a lap cat and prefers outdoors over indoors while demonstrating her appreciation for us being her people and this being her home.

Happy Monday!

I take the cats on about 3 morning walks and one afternoon walk but today as our days are getting longer I decided to take the boys for an afternoon stroll to watch the sun go down but as you can see Charlie was ready for bed as usually by this time he is inside sucking on his blanket before he falls asleep for the night.

Nothing like having a routine.... ;)

. . . involves preparing three square meals a day, even though I'd rather be behind my camera. As I was preparing BLT sandwiches for lunch today - the Macro Mondays theme "My Daily Routine" popped into my head, so I stopped everything to take a few shots.

HMM everyone.

Well, today was the first day that we had escapees from the inner cat sanctum!! Smokey Lonesome cannot get her head out of the chain link fence, but guess what?! Wynken, Blynken and Nod can!

This is Blynken, exploring just beyond his mother’s reach in the cat pen, which you can see the edge of there on the right! I netted up six inches, thinking kittens would be too big to crawl through by the time they noticed the netting!! Already they have ALL been out. It would be a nice way to assimilate them into “the People” but oh my! Smokey Lonesome is furious seeing any of “the People” around her babies. Sigh. I expect I will be up early to see if any of the little squirts are outside the inner pen, though they will be safe in the cat-safe yard. And "the People" will be good with them, having seen them for almost 5 weeks now.

Happy Caturday! - Routine

A photo of a Scooter's Coffee drive-thru taken just before dawn. The scene is bathed in the soft, purplish-pink hues of the pre-sunrise sky, creating a serene and slightly melancholic atmosphere. The low light emphasizes the glow emanating from the coffee shop's signage and street lights, contrasting with the cooler tones of the approaching day.

I intended this image to tell a story of daily life that reflects on the comforting ritual of stopping for morning coffee during a moment of personal routine. Take a moment to recognize the beauty in simple rituals and everyday habits that take place before the world awakens to its typical hustle and bustle.

Even in the simplest spaces,

style refuses to stay quiet.

Confidence isn’t reserved for the spotlight

it lives in every moment, every step.

When Pepper work me up thursday morning, I tried to take his photo with the iPhone in the dark but it didn't work - he turned away from the flash before the shot was taken. Since I was up a bit early already, I got up, turned on the light and "went back to bed" (still with the iPhone), allowing me to capture what I see when he starts up with the loud purrs and tickling my face with his whiskers. Those are long whiskers. They really tickle. He also doesn't know what is a weekend vs. a weekday. At least one of the good things about the shortening days after the summer solstice is, I get a few more winks of sleep as every sunrise edges a bit later. Um, this is Happy Caturday 29 August 2020, Morning Routine.

Also inspired by “Macro Mondays” and “My Daily Routine”. I'm grateful to the group admin, Janet Towbin, for mentioning Brain Pickings, "a subjective lens on what matters in the world and why."

I'd lost touch with the website, and I feel delighted to find it now. I didn't enter this, because it might not look like enough of a macro to enter. I reshot another macro.

Thank you for reminding me of the site, Janet, and thank you, anyone, for looking and commenting.

Macro Mondays: "My daily routine"

I jump out of my bed every morning and take a bath.

January's almost over already and no single shot taken yet..

However, soon I'm due to bring some new goodies perhaps.

Inspired by the clouds. Love Smartwater Sparkling! The effervescent bubbles just seem so happy as they dance to the top. Water is my favorite beverage and has forever been part of my daily routine.

I was glad to see that Brain Pickings was referenced in the description for this week's theme on Macro Mondays. I read it on Feedly which is also part of my daily routine. I like it because I can subscribe to the news I want and also subscribe to various blogs. Brain Pickings does an excellent job of highlighting very interesting philosophies.

One of my all-time favorite posts from Brain Pickings was about Bruce Lee/Be Water, My Friend. Such a great story. There is a clip from the Longstreet episode in the post, but this clip at about 6:50 puts it in some context.

I also love Shannon Lee's podcasts The Bruce Lee Podcast about her father's life and philosophies. Since it's weekly, it's definitely part of my weekly routine.

Be water, my friend...

Pitaya - Old Doors Panel

Thanks a bunch for all the support! 😁

On a rainy spring day this elongated barn has structural reminders of the twice daily routine for a farmer and his offspring. Milk house, stanchions and shed for calves, all three lined up and stretched out. Anyone who grew up on a farm soon learned that farm work involved doing many of the same things over and over again.

Walking home from the animal shelter with her new pet (she will go back for her scooter later), Kitty realized that she’s going to need a new routine before and after school. With an elephant in her life, there’s going to be a lot more feeding, watering, cleaning, and playing. It’s time to make a schedule!

This Middie Blythe doll is Yellow Marshmallow for “New Routine” and “Animal Kingdom”.

....caffeine - for Macro Mondays my daily routine theme.

I had to experiment to catch the steam - back illumination with a torch from the side did the trick!
