Neighbors

So, now that we've been in our house for a month, we've gotten to know a few of our neighbors a little better:

These two neighborhood cats were hanging out under one of our trees this evening. The grey one on the left is very shy and hyper-alert. When he realized he'd been spotted, he quickly made his exit. It's a shame, because he's so pretty!

The black and white one hangs around a lot. Although he won't let us get closer than 5 feet from him, he has been known to sit in our driveway and meow at us when we get home. He even helped me paint the kitchen cabinets! :)

(Poor quality photo taken with my cellphone)

He didn't mind me taking his picture through the screened-in porch screen.

And then I tried out my new camera's zoom, and even through the screen, the picture turned out pretty nice!

(Psst! Hey, cat - let me pet you!)
