Little Lion

December 10, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Black and white Maine Coon portrait photo.

As it is with most felines, my cat loves to bask in the warm sun. She waits patient at my sliding backdoor for my daily opening of the shades. This morning the sky broke clear and blue, and the sun’s power was further fueled by a fresh snowpack. The light was strong. Aware of the […]
