121: Garden animals

I wasn't sure what I was going to put here today. There was sunshine this morning, but it has morphed into a cloudy grey this afternoon. I took one photo, but didn't like the greyness. I know the next four months are going to be harder to take photos in with shorter, grey-er days...

But then I spotted a neighbour's cat on my shed. Grey. But perfect subject that sat still, staring at me as I began taking a few photos.

I could have stopped there: I had my 365 shot for the day. But next I spied this praying mantis as I headed back inside.

And since I can't decide which animal to give you, you are getting a double whammy today...
