Watching The Sunrise

Watching The Sunrise

This is Molly kicking back on a table in my yard watching a nice Arizona sunrise. I was also kicking back in a chair when Molly jumped up on the table right in front of me. I quickly fired up my camera and got this shot.

I have been around cats all my life and she is the loving-est cat I have ever been around. She loves everything from dogs to flowers, and already in her young age has no problem in talking with different meows to let you know what she wants, to just saying Hi. Living with three large dogs that by the way she bosses around, is starting to act like them.

Molly looks so beautiful and contemplative. I feel relaxed just looking at her.

I'm commenting again on this photo of Molly. The photo is really special with the way the sunlight hits her and the pose you captured. If this is the Molly that disappeared, I hope she is safe and back with you.
