My Submissions

This is a lot more difficult than my daily picture themes. As of this posting I have the first five themes, but I stumped pn something for planet.


Luna & Raven

Our kitten sisters Luna & Raven continue to explore the environment. I had to share part of my morning oatmeal which apparently they found palatable. They continue their explorations of the house. I found a cat tunnel at our recycling center which was a big hit with them.

#CatsOfBluesky #GreenCenter – My latest find at our recycle center (AKA "The Green Center"). The girls love it.

I have removed AdSense advertising from my site. The ads were annoying and cluttered up the page. However it does cost money (and time) to publish this website. If you enjoy the content, why not become a supporter? Think of it as buying me a “virtual cup of coffee”. FYI the average cost of a cup of coffee in 2024 is $3.08
