"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Furry "Ferals":.....or.. My Boys


"Hurry, Hurry, "SHE" is here! Gotta get to MY Bowl First".

"OK - enough with that silly camera.....we want DINNER".

Although I am currently "petless"..... I do have six "ferals" that my neighbour and I have been feeding for over six years. They are all (save one) related....and we have managed to have them spayed and neutered. (That was a project in itself!) My neighbour, "A", feeds them 90% of the time as she has the studio which leads to the garden where they "hang out". However, when she goes on holiday, I am the "Keeper of the Kibble"....and boy, do they know it. It was just impossible to get all six in any of my shots - plus my battery was low.... but I snapped a few.....here goes....





"FOOD........NOW.......I MEAN IT".

Hope you enjoyed these...

Love to all,

♥ Robin ♥

    From what I can see they are sure cute, one looks like my Max. I love the grey one. They all look healthy! You and A are angels for taking care of them.

    The striped one is Charlie.... he used to be very shy.... but I can pet them all now except for "Mama-Cat" and "Midnight"... in the second shot, if you look closely on top, you can see "Mr. Orange's" very fluffy tail...

    Will try for more and better photos soon!

    Love you,

    Joss, you are so sweet - but actually it's "A" who is the real Angel. (Renee and "A" share many traits.) The Boys, despite Ash's "stern demeanor", are very sweet..... but, at breakfast and dinnertime - food is the #1 priority! I should have snapped photos after dinner... oh well, next time!

    Love,

    Suki, I knew you would like "Da Boys"... next time, I will get everyone's photo! As for the "Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" yes, I see them frequently. Not only in their neighbourhood (where they flourish), but also over the skies my way (about 10 miles West)...you "hear" them before you see them - red feathers shining in the sun - they squawk continually when they are in flight! SF now has two different types of Wild Parrots - the red ones, and flock of yellow ones who reside in the Mission District. Sadly, the yellow ones numbers are declining.... they all bring a lot of pleasure and are greatly adored by the SF residents!

    Love,
