getting breakfast

We saw this lovely ginger cat on our early morning walk today. He was eating the buds high up in the tree. I don't think Jinks even noticed him.

I took several shots and cropped some to get a closer view of the cat but finally preferred this one just as it was taken as I liked the space and blue sky and framework of branches behind him.
so candid and lovely colours

I've seen cats up trees before but not in the thin supple branches. The ginger and blue colours dont work for me yet with the tree there is a connection that does work. The cat seems oblivious to the attention also.

He does seem rather large for such thin branches - did you hear a fire-engine later?!

@tishpics @doblaine The fire engine wasn't necessary as he climbed down on his own - but only after his family, who had been standing under the tree calling him, had moved off! A friend has since suggested to me that he might have been licking sticky sap off the buds.

Fascinating image - maybe a cat with a sweet tooth? Love the orange and blue colours :-)

This is great. One of those magic moments. I love the contrast of the colours and textures. Well done!
