August 26 ~ Watchful

This is one of the friendly neighbourhood cats. He often sleeps on the roof of our shed, as it gets lovely and warm in the sun. He's not an ordinary cat, however; he doesn't bother the birds at all. He sits and sleeps while they visit the feeders in the garden. He does like chasing (and eating!) grasshoppers though. Told you he was strange! I tried to capture a shot of him chasing them, but all he wanted to do once he spotted me was pose.

I never did get out for sunrise. I woke up at 3:30am as planned and started to get ready, then realized I was far too exhausted to want to risk a 2 hour round trip alone in the car. I figured it wasn't as if it was the only time I could see the sunrise there coincide with low tide, so I went back to bed for some obviously much-needed sleep. The next weekend where the sunrise coincides with low tide there is the 8th and 9th of September, so the plan is to drive up there one morning that weekend instead.
