cat in a temple - 寺にいる猫

ah, nothing like a bite to eat and then a morning bath and groom

wonderful b/w..just love it :)

Looks like he's found himself a great spot to stay for awhile. Very cute!

Lovely shot, love the shapes - they are well defined.

So beautiful - I love your photos of cats.

Beautiful! It is a visual haiku!

Beautiful composition

Tetsu, this is a lovely capture, i like the fact you rendered it in monochrome. I would have cropped closer to the cat though :)

猫って、外できままに暮らす野良ちゃんが
いっぱいいるけど、やっぱり家の中で囲われて
いるよりも気ままな方が幸せなのかなぁ？とか
色々考えちゃいます。
この子はとっても幸せそうだね。

らむままさん、ありがとうございます！！
猫の人生も猫それぞれかも知れませんね。
この写真は朝訪れたときに撮ったのだけれど、夕方にもう一度同じお寺に行ったら、全く同じところにいました。

The lighting is terrific in this picture. Makes for a dramatic picture.

Thanks Mike!!

I really like this image. The grain of the wood contrasting with the fur of the cat. Great tones as always too.

Thanks Mooch!!
