Lee, I just love the variety of your great collection. As a cat lover, of course, the guy napping on the bench with the cat next to him napping as well, is my favorite. Have a great week.

Hi and thanks, Cornelia. The picture of the sleeping human and feline in Buenos Aires will always be memorable, because that park is (in)famous for the large number of abandoned cats. Thanks again for your comment!
