When the temperature drops 60 degrees overnight . . .

The Japanese Maple drops leaves.






And it's hard on the roses.


The obligatory cat.
This is what I look like:


And this is what I feel like:

1. Beauty frozen. Thanks for sharing them.

Inside every house cat is a Lion roaring to be heard

2. "When I get big I mean to be. . ."

". . .a Lion, large and fierce to see. . ."

9. my kitty never aspired to be a lion.....

...she told me she wasn't going to play in the little leagues for anybody!

Srsly, she had an attitude that "lions are pussies", that if she ever saw one she'd kick its ass to just let it know who was running this show anyway. She would've charged hell with a cup of ice-water, and let the devil know she was coming in advance.

It kinda looks like Mary Jane in red dress.

6. It really does.

7. I think it's a Japanese maple cultivar (Acer palmatum).

[Callmecrazy]

8. Oh I believe it is a maple.

I'm just sayin' it looks like a pot leaf trying to sneak by customs.

5. It is very true that they feel like that...

My kitties look like lions when they're stalking those ferocious flies and mosquitos..

10. I miss our Japanese Maple, it died slowly part by part, until

I just had to dig it out myself. Had it for 9 years too. Inside was completely dried out.

14. Had a dwarf variety once:

whatever the depth of the snow in the winter was how tall the maple was in the spring.
