Beautiful photos of your cat and the cherry trees. Enjoyed them much. The poem is beautiful too.

Aww, gosh, gee, thanks Ms Becky! I love it when you visit...
You have such a peaceful garden. The cat looks right at home, just contemplating life beneath the cherry tree. The photographs are so sharp. The poetry paints a quiet picture of timeless tranquility.

Hello mckbbks, the cat and the cherry tree came together so sweetly on a beautiful spring morning last week and caught my eye, and my imagination. Cell phone camera was ready (charged up) and at hand. Got to love it when that happens. Thanks for visit and encouraging words.
Beautiful cherry blossoms. I wonder what the cat is thinking? I love the blue flowers, lovely photos..

Hello Ms always, I wonder what the cat is thinking too! He seems so content. A year ago he was a feral cat on the prowl in the neighborhood. I rescued him, got him (bad word) neutered, and he turned into a permanent house guest who only ventures out now for photo ops, lol.
How beautiful. What a pretty cat and he is really enjoying his life. He found a good home and he knows it. Voted Up
Beautiful photos, your cat looks right at home among the cherry trees enjoying the sun

Hey Rosemay, thank you! I don't think the cat (Grey Boy) has any inkling how famous he is lol.
I love the beautiful photos. They make me want to read a book outside. I wish I had a cat like yours! I voted this up and beautiful.

Thank you Ebower, what a sweet comment to get, the cat is adorable. Reading outside sounds like fun. Appreciate the up vote.
Oh, how sweet and incredibly beautiful over there! =) The poem is so clever, pure genius! Meow to the little fluffy buddy! =)

Thank you BMax, I blush.
Cherry blossoms and Grey Boy. How delightful. I love the first picture the best. No, it's the one of the cat with his arms crossed. That's always so cute when they do that. He posed just for you. Lovely poem with lots of promise of flowers to come. Up, Beautiful and awesome.

Thank you Peg, I very much appreciate the visit and your sweet comments. I have fallen way behind in returning such warm gestures, and I look forward to catching up with you. Hope things are going well for you and Jim and Tony.
Cherry blossoms and a cat who knew how to enjoy life--life couldn't get better. Lovely pictures and lovely poem to match.
Charming
Alluring
Tranquility
Your words and photography are the perfect blend for a Springtime day, snakeslane.
You have such a lovely gift you share with us.

Thank you for the visit, would not be nearly so much fun if I did not have you to share with Ms Mar. Very much appreciate the UP & AB!
I love those few weeks when the blossoms are hanging profusely everywhere and the air is delicately warm. Apparently Grey Boy also shares our appreciation. The photographs, poem and idea are just lovely.

Good morning Hyphenbird, yes, these were taken 10 days ago (how time flies) and everything has changed. Now tiny little cherries are hanging on the tips of the fragile stalks. (More photos?) Thank you for enjoying the moment.
Snakeslane, I once adored a cat that looked like your grey, his name was Gregory and he has passed on, but thank you for helping me to remember him. Jamie
- Author
Awww Jhamann, that's so sad, but so nice that you had Gregory for awhile. This cat was a gift, he just kept showing up until I finally tamed him, (the Tuna helped) he was pretty damaged, I think he had been caught in some kind of trap, he had big gaping wounds across both sides of his neck, it's amazing he lived. Now he is such a pussycat, loves his new home. Runs inside to use the indoor plumbing (litter box) too funny...
Beautiful photos, snakeslane. It would seem that your cat is admiring those cherry blossoms, too, while posing as the Lord of the Manor.
- Author
Hello drbj, thank you very much. Lord of the Manor indeed. I have three other cats, who were here before this guy arrived, they keep him from getting too high and mighty. All the cats like to sit on that little table under the cherry tree. Apparantly they take turns.
Beautiful poetry and your garden looks so peaceful....
I love to see the blossom in the spring sunshine!
Voting up, best wishes Lesley

Hello Lesley, thank you for the visit and the vote, much appreciated, best wishes to you too.
Hello Snakeslane,
This is truly weird but for the last few days a cat that looks exactly like this one has been lying in front of the garage when I let the dogs out in the morning. He runs away at their barking but returns the next morning outside the fence. I've never seen him around here before. I'll try to get a picture of him.

Hi Ms Peg of the hair salon days. It's taken me awhile to catch up with you. Awww, kitty thinks your place looks like fun. I wonder if he has a home?
This kitty is thinking
these days are heaven sent
and I bet she is grateful
that all of winter...went!!!
Lovely kitty basking in the spring blossom sunshine. I long to lie beside her and gaze up through the boughs of this paradise. Thank you for sharing these magical moments.
My votes and best wishes to you Snakeslane and sharing.

Ah Fennelseed, thank you, it is interesting how you and I are reversed in our seasons being on opposite poles. Maybe that is a good thing. When you are feeling gloomy I can share the light, and vise versa. Deal?
Appreciate the vote and the sharing, all the best to you too.
Oh yes, please!!! That's a deal too good to resist, I am happy to be warmed by more of your spring and summer treats!!!I just hope you don't tire of my winter gloom:(
:) :)

Your winter gloom is safe with me.
Gorgeous! in ever way, Snakeslane. Beautiful photos, pretty kitty, lucious garden and growing, flowering things, great information about the succession of color which springs forth in this lovely garden. All ups but funny!!!!!

Thank you Lucky Cats. This 'pretty' kitty was a mangy stray Tomcat that kept hanging around so I lured him in and caught him with a can of tuna...took him to the vet and got him neutered (about a year ago) and he has turned into the most loving adorable pet, completely tamed, and rarely goes outside (had enough of that). So happy you enjoyed. I'm thinking we have a lot of cat adventures in common.
The cherry blossoms always remind me of a time I traveled to Washington DC with the school chorus on a train. We were surrounded by them. I love this cat. Such a sweet kitty. He's really playful and beautiful. Lovely hub. I had to come for another visit.
- Author
Thank you Peg, you are always so supportive, much appreciated. This cat is like a little gift from God in a furry, purry package. I am not sure what I did to deserve him. He is like a wise little buddah cat. I can't describe it.
Wow, Lovely poem with all stunning photos, and the Lucky kitty basking under the beautiful Cherry Blossoms..one can really envy upon !

Thank you shara, it was a special moment, I appreciate your visit.
Well done, excellent work. You should be proud.
up and beautiful

Well thank you H Terrier, hope all is well with you. I snuck a look at your profile and see you are very fond of small birds, so I appreciate you checking out the cat and blossom photos. This cat is much too pampered and lazy to bother with birds anyway.
...yes my Little Miss Tiffy has the same look - lol - I own everything I see in my domain including you - lol .
I love your dreamy hub presentation here because it captures an indelible moment(s) in time with the one you love.
Sending warm wishes and good energy to you from lake erie time ontario canada 4:54pm - cold, frozen, snowy, no I am not talking about the weather I am talking about my love life - lol
and just came back from my walk with the Gabe man - although he doesen't walk properly like a dog - he wanders all over the place and I have to follow like his valet.
- Author
Ha, ha! Hi Epi, watch out that Gabe don't get you tangled up in his walking every which way, gravity is heavy, I've learned from experience...Thanks for dropping by. I am officially offline for awhile, just over at my neighbours checking in to see what's new, so I am having to write by hand, what a concept! Not using a quill, but have ink stains on these writer's hands, been reading an anthology of poetry from highschool. I didn't really appreciate it then, but I sure do now. American poets are next. Who knows, I may be inspired to write something. Sorry about your love life, hope things improve with the Spring thaw lol.
