All photos below were taken today July 21, 2016 with a Canon 1000D using a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens and UV filter. The images were taken from my backyard.

Cats

The best cat in the world to own is someone else's cat. Let them spend the money on vets and food, while you get all of the love and affection! This is my cat (aka my neighbors cat) below. Her name is "Trouble" (there's a story behind it) and she's awesome. She once took out a rabbit almost her own size with a choke hold; not that I was OK with that, but by hunting standards ... it was pretty damn impressive to see!

My neighbors are retired and travel a lot, so Trouble walks over to my house a few times a day to get some of that two handed petting that cats the world over know I'm famous for dishing out. It's like cats know I've got the good stuff and they seek me out routinely. This cat in particular really digs me. She thinks I'm the coolest cat in the neighborhood (and she's right!).

We hang out just about every day, so today we went on a trip around my backyard to check out the local wildlife. While we were at it, I decided to get some shots of her being awesome. I've edited a few because as mentioned before, I like black & white images. I hope you enjoy!
