For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
I do not like daylight savings and I am waiting for it to stop. And not happen again.
The cats need lights this time of year. They are not enthused, but otherwise I have to walk them separately holding the leash. Our rule is I don’t hold it unless they go out of our yard. We are on a fast road.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: daylight savings time.
The seals look static on their distant rock, until I zoom in, stabilize on a rock, and get a movie. The tide is moving fast! There is lots of motion and the seals are alert and paying attention!
I wandered around between the Library and the Farmer’s Market yesterday and took pictures. This tree really looks like a flower: I was fooled for a minute. There are still things blooming and the leaves are still really gorgeous.

Are the seals placid? It’s hard to tell, since I am really far away on the beach, with a Panasonic DMZ-FZ150. It has a 24X optical zoom. The seals are way out in Puget Sound. I can hear them when they roar. They really like the sun and this island is gone when the tide is in.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: placid.
I took this last week. It was sunny and cool. Now it is a bit warmer but with the clouds low and thick and sometimes raining. Gray. The leaves are coming down.

Traffic at the cat bowl, November 2021.

Duck and coot traffic at Kai Tai Nature Park.

Laptop traffic. It’s busy.

Bushtit feeder traffic.

Great blue heron traffic. How many do you count in this tree?
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: traffic.
I have been focusing on the beautiful leaves and trees, but at North Beach there are still flowers stubbornly blooming, even though it has been near freezing every night for the last week.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
How many cats?
Mom takes me and Sol Duc out together in the lovely dark before the cars start roaring. I don’t like the big trucks or the buses. First she put on our lifesaving devices.


I have the red one. We went outside. Sol Duc is mad because mom and I kept following her when she would try to run off alone. But why did mom laugh when I ran to make sure she was ok? My lifesaving device is a little heavy and wiggles.

Anyhow, we love to go outside. And come back inside too.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: spooktacular.
This was taken earlier on my walk out on Marrowstone Island than the photograph for the Ragtag Daily Prompt today. The tide was out further and everyone was enjoying the sun. Relaxed core and relaxing to the core.
The tide is in a bit more here.

The container ships look so huge when I am next to them. They don’t on the Sound, though. What do the seals think?

Home to the Longette!
