Those dark eyes hint of a slight Siberian chill - watch out!

O.M.G. Haven't they settled in! Total comfort, totally at ease, forget Siberia.
Classic cat capture.

you called it.. the fire came through last year (summer/fall 2017). we were almost evacuated..

I think the pov of your earlier version is much more effective at capturing and retaining viewer attention.

Fabulous b&w.

Nice how the dead shrub's form dominates the frame but you've been able to include more distant clumpings top right for context.

So desolate. Those weeds(?) remind me of Crown of Thorns starfish creeping across an expanse of degraded reef. Is this a very recent fire ground?

No need for you to visit Oz with scenes like this! Lovely tones and texture.

nope they just came up on their own. there was no fence either. we (the whole fam) were all out in their field (with the rancher we had just met). i should have processed this better but was in a rush to post it in the photo association game before i missed the chance...

thanks.
Thought i could improve on the version posted way back when on flickr but in comparing the two, thinking the old version still wins..
