Summing up the first day back at work

And I still have 2 more hours left in my work day! Oh, and now 45 and a half working days...plus two hours...till our Christmas break. Not that I counted last night.

Anyway.

How about snapshots of some of the four-leggeds and feathered critters R and I saw and/or met on our travels?

Young swan. There must have been at least two dozen swans out on the water, where we stopped.

 Pretty cat in a house window, in Warkworth.

 Another Warkworth cat.

Miss Kitty, the stray that R &C have "adopted." She had been in to eat and to get cuddles, wanted out, then wanted back in (typical cat).

 A very happy dog at Wicklow Beach.

This horse and the ponies live on a property across from the beach. We've stopped to see them before, they're quite friendly. The ponies aren't nippy, which is surprising, as so many can be.

Louie, the mascot of the Northumberland & District Humane Society thrift store. He was happily making biscuits in the arms of a favourite volunteer.

There's nothing like a bit of non-human critter therapy, yes?  :-)

Peace.
