Cat confrontation

.

Several outdoor cats come through "my" yard regularly.
When the females are in heat there is pandemonium around here.
Loud, eerie yowling!  Cats chasing each other up trees or onto roofs!
Hissy fits with real hissing. 
Violent fights, with two cats locked in battle.
Here in the photo, two even crouched outside my window screen, growling and staring each other down.
I chased them away before the fur could fly.

Gazing into the Pond

The green footed Coot gazing at its own reflection?  Or just admiring the beauty of its backyard?

Macropalooza

When I was shooting at the orchid show I used only my 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, sometimes with an extension tube added on. The idea was to get deep inside the blossoms. This is some of what I saw.                   

Les ateliers de la cour du Plessis

VDP has been to this courtyard several times but was always unhappy with her pics. Still is... 

Not very well known in Versailles, it is located at the end of a passage which has been featured here on Artsy Versailles. Unfortunately, most of the unusual (architecturally speaking) little shops are closed on the weekend when VDP roams the city...

Ce n'est pas la première fois que VDP se rend à la cour du Plessis mais elle n'a jamais été satisfaite de ses photos... et ne l'est toujours pas vraiment. La cour se trouve au bout de l'impasse Du Plessis et est assez méconnue... L'impasse vous avait été montrée ici sur Artsy Versailles.
