Too hot to go out for picture hunting. I'm feeling uninspired to do something creative otherwise. So I captured a cat moment.

Super combination of the elements here. It's a rare coincidence of location and weather that will give you great light and clouds right at eye level. Nice one!

The blue makes a perfect background for the orange cat, and is dark enough to make the whiskers really stand out. I also like how you got us right at his(?) level and nailed the focus, getting it right where it should be--and it's sharp too! Well done.
Thanks. Yeah, me too. ::::sigh::::
Off the beaten path in central Slovenia: here to be exact. I also took a photo looking the other way, posted here. It's one of those special places that tourists never visit unless they're traveling with locals. I'm hoping to find a time of the day/year when the sun does something crazy cool at this location, but gorges are tricky in that regard.
fitshaced and iBlue: you two need to get one of the plug-ins for quoting images in this thread, developed especially for us by TheReef. They're very easy to install and to use.

Yes, it is a he. Some of that was luck, some of it preparation. I was already set up to take pictures from that level, and I had moved the chair over to the window to get better light on him. Then he yawned, and I quickly snapped. The focus was the lucky part because the camera wasn't set up how I wanted for focusing when he yawned. I got lucky that the focal point hit on a point that happened to line up with his face just right. It hit just below the bell on his collar. I bet if I tried to do it on purpose, I'd have messed it up.
Lots of Spring rains and a late snow melt caused a lot of flooding in parts of Washington State. This is the Snoqualmie River and a tree that it relocated. Must seem tame to anyone from the Mississippi River drainage.
