Quiet

[rejectomorph]

It is very still tonight. The drawn blanket of cloud hangs above the forest, passing no moonlight or starlight. The frogs have fallen silent. Once in a while, a dog barks. It would be a nice time to sleep undisturbed, but I must walk up the street and listen to my footsteps in the dark. That's restful, too.

I was going to write more, but LJ is being sluggy again, and I'm not sure I'll even get this entry to post, so I don't want to spend too much time on it. Instead, another picture:





Yes, this is Sugar, who got in a fight last night, and went out this morning looking for another, most likely. She is a very aggressive kitty when she wants to be.

Awww kittie!! :x! That made my morning!

It's a shame I don't get to see mine much anymore, but I will in a couple of weeks when I visit home.

What kind of plant is that she's next to? Clover? She looks like a natural hunter.

Locally, the plant is called Sourgrass, and another common name is Redwood Sorrel, even though it isn't a true sorrel but a variety of Oxalis, Oxalis acetosella or Oxalis oregana, I'm not sure which. To further confuse things, there is a true sorrel which is also commonly called Sourgrass. In short, the taxonomy is messed up.

And you're right, Sugar is a very good hunter. Unfortunately, she prefers birds to rodents, and lets moles dig up the lawn while she goes off in search of doves.
