The first day of each month is a theme day for members of City Daily Photo, and this month the theme is Soft. Check out how other are interpreting the theme right here.
I start with these shots taken in April inside the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne during a visit to the farmers market. It is typical to see dogs with their people here.
In early May upon leaving my place one morning, I came across this absolute sweetheart of a cat outside her home. She's often out front when the weather warms up, but never more than a couple of houses away from home.
A little further along the street, this kitty was watching me from the front window. This is one of a couple of cats in the house- the other is in my final shot below.
Rabbits are commonly seen in warmer weather in the north part of the Glebe, but particularly early or late in the day, or in the night. This one was in a front yard during the Tulip Festival.
I went to Dow's Lake during the Festival specifically for a few shots for a theme day later in the year. This dog drew my attention, and will appear in that future theme day post.
Spring tree blossoms are another soft thing. This is close to home.
And even closer to home- there's a lot beside my building that I suspect will never be developed. Two rabbits were having lunch when I passed by.
One day late in May I was heading to the War Museum to attend an exhibit opening. Several families of Canada geese were having supper on the wide expanse of grass here. Many babies were there, looking very soft and fluffy. It doesn't take long for them to grow out of that phase.
And I close with this cat, taken at the end of May. This cutie pie lives with another cat, as noted above, not far from home. I've never seen either of them outside.
