Dusty is almost 20, and still knows how to chill and purr.

This is a cat we used to have who has gone to kitty heaven. Rose was a very good guard kitty. She used to make sure everything outside was as it should be. She is missed.

Dusty kitty is one of those cats who will love you, no matter who you are, kind of like a friendly dog. But she’s hard to get to pose nicely. Here she is on our patio on a warm July afternoon.

I have posted a picture of Dusty kitty before, but it was a long time ago. This recent shot shows her in kitty bliss as she accepts some petting from my daughter, trying to get some work done. Dusty is one of those cats who loves everyone, and knows their job in life is to be petted. By you. Hope you enjoy this view of a very sweet cat.

Hello, Camera Critters visitors! Do visit Macro Monday and SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera) if you have a minute.

Dusty is one of those kitties who loves everyone. Doesn’t matter if you love cats or not, smell of dogs or not, feed her or not, she is your friend. “Pet me!” she says. In our last house we had a deck with weathered wood, and I swear sometimes it was hard to see her when she lounged on it. She’s still a bit camouflaged here on our patio but makes herself known quite well.

Shadow Shot Sunday, Outdoor Wednesday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera) and Camera Critters this week have other interesting insights. Take a look! But do browse around here first. Click on Sara’s Fave Photos here if there is only one photo below. Thanks for visiting!

Today (Sunday) is the first anniversary of one of my favorite memes in the blogosphere, Flowers For Today. This idea was created by Luiz Santilli Junior one year ago today, and I am honored to be Guest Friend on this special day. Thank you, Luiz! It’s so true that everyone loves flowers.

Below is my photo which is posted on their site today. It was taken just a few days ago on my patio here in Seattle, and I grew many of the plants from seeds. Dusty, our cat who is posing so nicely, is the kind of kitty who loves everyone. If you visit, she will love you, too. She is an inspiration to me.

I thought I’d post a couple of extra flower pictures today, in honor of this special day. Below are flowers from my friend Cindy’s amazing deck and garden, and one of her dahlias. Enjoy this happy day.
