More naked chicks and some cocks, pussies and ducks in the snow at sunset

Yesterday the temp went up to 47F and the snow started thawing. These pics were taken at sunset - my favorite time of day to sit on the front verandah when the house glows golden in the rays of the setting sun.



















Daffy and Dilly, the Indian runner-ducks, running around naked in the melting snow.



















They are quite upset that the snow killed off their favorite food, slugs.



















Swankie, the tomcat, sitting on the septic tank in the sunset.



















The sun setting over the Pacific Ocean.



















A naked chick and some bantam cocks heading home for the night.



















Smudgie, the female pussy, posing seductively on the verandah in the sunset.



















Swankie and Smudgie are the only cats I've ever known who like snow. They also are indifferent to rain - maybe because they were born and raised in Oregon and come from a long line of Oregon cats with webbed feet. Just kidding. They're also the only cats I've ever gotten to like. That's probably because they don't live in the house. They are not pampered pets but working barn cats whose job is to kill the rodents who come to steal the livestock feed. To me, cats are not civilized enough to live in the house with humans. They get arrogant and demanding and start taking advantage of us. They are so much nicer when you treat them as livestock instead of pets and I have grown very fond of these two felines.
