Catching the fleeting scenes of many splendored life

The Cat that Walks On Her Own.
Night Watch.

I feel especially honoured by the moggy's visits, because she clearly doesn't drop in for food — she won't even taste any titbits I offer her since she obviously gorges herself on food at the neighbours'. Thus I deduce she comes by our terrace out of respect or just for the fun of hanging out with us, which flatters me a lot and proves that animals are capable of uninterested love.

Curiously, this isn't the first time an animal shows a lot of unfounded affection for me. As a teenager I once spent a couple of weeks holidays with a family whose well-cared for dog suddenly became so fond of me at first sight that he would follow me wherever I went and wouldn't part company with me day and night, completely forgetting his owner who, by the way, was the one who fed the pooch. When I was leaving, he followed me to the train station and was howling on the platform as my train was moving away. It broke my heart, and it hurts every time I remember the scene.
Ready for the jump.

Foliages.

I bet few people notice the beauty of tree foliages around them. By contrast, being a compulsive gazer and slow life acolyte, I can't help stopping to enjoy the beauty of canopies, tree crowns and every unusual tree leaves I come across. Which, on the other hand, makes me quite a time-wasting roamer.
Anyway, the fact that every tree comes with unique shape and form of leaves has always fascinated me.  Here go some of my favourite leafage backgrounds.
