I like the combination of sunlight and shadow in this image.

Noble Fur packed a lot of living into the six years that she was my companion. Since we traveled together and took walks together, I was able to take many hundreds of pictures, in a vast variety of locations. This week’s diary picks up where we left off last week, with pictures taken near home in the early part of 2018.

The back part of my yard is wooded, and contains a small seasonal creek. In her pre-leash days, Noble Fur spent many an hour next to the creek, hunting frogs and lizards. Later on, when she went on walks with me, she often headed straight towards the creek. Sometimes I’d have to pull on the leash, or pick her up, in order to encourage her to keep moving.

Not much of a creek, but there are small critters to observe. As a bonus, you get the shadow of my hands and the camera. Enlarge.

Walking along the base of a tree by the creek. Easy to do when you have four legs and sharp claws. Enlarge.

For a long time, two pieces of treated lumber served as the creek crossing. Eventually I had a nice footbridge built. Enlarge.

I never had a problem with Noble Fur sharpening her claws on the furniture. She had a post, but also liked this rubber mat. I took it along when we traveled. Enlarge.

Working on the scratching post. She had her favorite trees outdoors, too. Enlarge.

Kitty also spent plenty of time in the lawn, and around the flower beds. Here is an assortment of pictures from various locations near the house.

Probably looking at a squirrel; the yard was full of them. Enlarge.

Noble Fur was always happy to get attention. Enlarge.

Kitty never met a firewood pile she didn’t like. Enlarge.

Thanks for helping to keep the memory of Noble Fur alive. As always, your pictures and comments are welcome.
