    Beautiful Lois!! It took me a minute to find the KITTY!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    LOL!!!! Thanks, sweetie … I didn’t even see the kitty myself when I was first working on this one … then in the subsequent shots, as she came forward a bit more, I remembered the encounter. She was sooooo loving … I could have stood there in the middle of the road, petting and cooing over her all day, lol!!!!!
