It is a beautiful Spring day, warm for late May, but our future. Zip slows down as the temperature rises; he sleeps a lot during the day and hunts at night.

The flower gardens have been a godsend for him, as have all kinds of places to lie in the shade and look for hunting opportunities. Another Selfie—I’m enjoying it. Thanks for all the nice notes.

 

Fate is stalking Zip, trying to rattle him. Zip, as always, ignoring her, unimpressed.  Zip fears nothing but the sound of trucks, and that’s a good thing—photo by Maria.

Zip is in my lap, starting to fall asleep, as he often does.

It has nothing to do with Zip, but one of my favorite photo series, Fate, is at Rest. She looks different every time.
