Sublime Sunday ~ Having A #LookAround
Well, it’s just another gray day here in Maryland but I thought I’d head outside and have a #lookaround. What is #lookaround? It’s a cool new tag by @manorvillemike! It’s exactly what it says..wherever you may be just have a #lookaround from the same spot or relatively close to it. If you want to learn any more about the tag then check out the latest #lookaround post by @manorvillemike HERE! Thanks @manorvillemike and thanks @c0ff33a for #sublimesunday!
It was suggested that I could just sit in a chair and take multiple photos of a doorknob but I thought it would be better to take some outside photos. But believe me when I say that I was tempted to, actually, take those doorknob photos..lol! How is this instead? A little color on a gray day is always welcome!
The days are getting shorter and there is a hint of Autumn colors in some trees and fallen leaves as well.
All of these photos were taken in my backyard and mostly all were taken from the same spot. Some had to be zoomed so pardon the quality on a few. While out back I came upon some disheartening news when I spotted a new cat which is female and looked pregnant. A neighbor is going to try to catch her and keep her till she has her babies and then get her spayed. The babies will be adopted out and momma will either be adopted out or returned to the colony. I guess I’ll call her New Cat!
She wasn’t alone either. She came up with Floppy Ear aka Oscar. Oscar is one of the males that I wasn’t able to catch and get neutered but another neighbor is signing up for the TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) program as I had to give the trap back to the County.
They all got fed! Oscar waited his turn as he isn’t too sure about humans yet.
New Cat has such pretty eyes and wasn’t shy at all. Pretty smart cat to “pony” up to this human.
Big old Tom came up too. He is a sweetie and loves pets. He was one that I was able to catch and get neutered.
Of course Baby (the cat) had to see what was going on which brought Sylvester tagging along as well.
Okay! Enough with the cats!
I have a bunch of these little flowers all around still.
I have, at least, two Holly bushes in the back yard and here is a photo of some leaves of the one closest to me.
I decided to do an edit with the Holly photo and came up with this…
…I think it came out looking kinda’ magical!
Speaking of magical, here are some mushrooms in the yard. Just magical looking folks! 😉
Coming to the end of my post now but when you are looking around don’t forget to look up too. I heard these geese before I could see them.
I’m gonna get on with my gray day now.
Last photo and, sorry, couldn’t help myself! 😊
Boy that @manorvillemike had a good idea. You sure can see a lot in one spot. He must be a smart guy? lol .... You guys are doing a great service to the cats and the community. How many cats in the colony? Great how you can catch the moms and find homes for the babies.
I hear he is pretty smart and a cat fan to boot! 😉 It is amazing how much you can catch when you #lookaround from one spot or relatively close to one spot. What a bonus when those geese flew over though! I think 9 or ten in colony here but wish I could've caught more of the males. The weather here just did not help but I'm also going to re-apply for the TNR. They totally understood about the weather but they only loan traps on a monthly basis. Neighbor is going to sign up and some neighbors up the street do a colony up there but they pay for it themselves. Love the new tag!! ❤
Forgot to mention the outstanding geese photo.
I see "havahart" traps going for $60 on Amazon. It will pay for itself in peace of mind. :-)

You had a great look around, Dee. Love seeing all the cats. They are lucky to have you looking out for them. U&R
Thanks so much Jo! I think those cats got me wrapped around their little paws..lol! It was fun using the new tag and really taking notice of how much is really so close.
Nice photos! I really like what you did with the holly!
Thank you @keithboone! I was really happy how that edit came out and it makes me happy that you like it too!!
Wow that a huge goose vee, must be 30 birds there. I usually only see them group maybe a dozen or so.
Great photos, thanks for sharing.
Thank you @solominer! It was a big flock and about two hours later another large flock flew over.
Her name is Autumn 🐱 🐾 she looks so beautiful!
What a very wonderful #lookaround you did of
@manorvillemike's cool new tag!
Those colored berries and trippy mushrooms
are really pretty and the holly edit is outstanding!!!
Love the door knob :-) @deerjay ❤
Oh oh geese, winters coming!
Thanks so much @shasta! Couldn't help myself with that last photo..lol! Hopefully, we will get to enjoy Autumn for a little while.
What a beautiful mix cats and flowers just go well together :)
Thank you @hangin! xoxo
You made a grey day bright and colourful that is real talent! Those berries are fantastic - I presume you did an edit on them they are surely not naturally that vibrant colour range!
So many cat's - that is amazing how they all come to visit. The one laying down has amazing eye colour.
The bottle with the Holly edit is magical - I love the effect on that so stunning!
And I had to grin at the door knob to finish, an amazing day for #SublimeSunday - I really enjoyed your little adventure.

Thank you @c0ff33a! No edit on the wild grapes color. Just put them in a collage. I was happy with the colors but I'm not opposed to popping the color a little sometimes either..😉 The holly edit came out better than I could have hoped and I got to fit it in nicely. Lol..glad that door knob made you grin..makes it worth the while! xoxo
