Strasburg lies along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. It's a quaint historic town at it's core but it has modern subdivisions scattered over the surrounding hills. There are the usual birds and animals of a Virginia town plus livestock — there are still some farms within the town limits. There are also bears that wander in from the Massanutten Mountains but I don't have pictures of them to show you.

The little cat was in a church parking lot. Since he was back-lit, his pretty face was obscured in the photo. I cropped it and played with filters in Photoshop until I got something I liked.
Oh they all melt my heart!! Such wonderful, awesome images. From the robin in the sunlight to the kitty oh so purrrrrrfect.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for sharing this post with all of us birders at I'd Rather B Birdin' this weekend!!!
Hello, pretty variety of critters. Being a dog lover, I love all the dogs. Especially the golden retriever.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week ahead!
Some cute critters, my favorite is the cat.

The cat is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteFascinating variety of critters! We have a few nuisance black bears in our neighborhood that have been getting into people's garbage cans. I'm not going to try a get a picture of them though!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of all these lovely creatures, Linda. That cat does have a very sweet face.
ReplyDeleteThe kitty is sweet and deserves the work you went to to show her pretty face. That's a wonderful dog too. fort Myers Fl (where we are now) is the same with some cattle grazining and farms within the metro area. I think that's really fun to see..
ReplyDeleteThat is a great shot of the cat, and the dog, and the Robin...all of them!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful collection of critters.
ReplyDeleteThank you
All the best Jan
Beautiful assortment of critters!
