Some facts: The ocelot, also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively within South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. It has been reported as far north as Texas. North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas,although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.
The ocelot is similar in appearance to a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a clouded leopard or jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were once killed for their fur. The feline was classified as a vulnerable species from 1972 until 1996, and is now listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot

For some time I walked along the deserted port looking for "Life" when, to my amazement, I saw a small bar made of wood with Mexican decorations and a fish stall. There were some "Mojitos" on the bar, as if they had just been made, but what intrigued me was the absence of people in the place, and it occurred to me that something scared the people who were here and they had to flee.
I was tempted to grab one of those delicious looking "Mojitos" and drink it, as the many days I spent sailing the seas of SL left me with almost no food and drink, but I didn't. I didn't know how long they had been there, what they were made of, or what had happened that they were left on the counter.
The fish in the stall were fresh, as if they had just been caught and put up for sale, but on my approach to the harbor I didn't see any fishing boats, not even when I arrived at the harbor. I thought about picking some fish and leaving some Lindens as payment, but I thought the same way I thought about the "Mojitos" and I didn't after all. There was still a lot of sea to sail home and I could always catch some fish on the boat.
The wind was blowing from the West, and it brought me the smell of freshly cooked food, and due to my gastronomic experience of tasting traditional dishes in the ports where I stopped, my nose "told me" that it was Asian food. Almost at the bottom of the harbor I had seen a mini Snack-Bar with illuminated signs. The smell coming from that place activated my HUNGER sensors, my belly was asking for food... so... I decided to walk towards the Snack-Bar to try to eat something... when... I heard a meow not very far from the place where I was and as I approached the meow became more intense... there was no doubt that there... was life in that place.

Some mornings work out perfectly. Went to the forest to try and find a male Scarlet Tanager. Hit the jackpot!
...I say nay...September is! For many reasons September is an extremely sad month for me...and it is sooooo gorgeous that it makes me appreciate life and the beauty that I see around me. I am filled with emotion in September, and as i walk in Nature's Beauty, I remember the special people who aren't here to walk and talk with me. BUT they do live on...oh, yes, in my heart, always!
I am always appreciative for my dolly friends...the ones who share their lives with me all the time...in their gorgeous photos...and the ones like Sherri, who re-rooted Holly's hair, and Paula, for this beautiful beret, and Ruth for the gorgeous dress. AND everyone who takes the time to comment on my pictures! I thank you ALL! Hugs!
Sorry if I sound mushy...it's the mood! ;)
