Cat vs Bear and yes, more pictures of London
You have to see to believe, a 15 pound CLAWLESS cat named Jake chasing an unwelcome visitor out of his yard, or that was the original idea. Now, normally I would speak out about letting CLAWLESS cats roam outside, so pitifully defenseless .... right.
Check out who ol' Jake chased up a tree.
Poor bear.
Worked a half-day today and then went to my friend (and former student's) wedding. Very lovely bride, wedding and reception. Her poor father was tearing up all day, then the father/daughter dance made me really tear up. It was "their" song, and the whole time they're dancing, he's singing it to her - just like he's done since she was a little girl. It was just one of THOSE moments, you know?
Okay, here are more pictures of my vacation:
PETA better not throw blood or paint on these guys hats, they have serious weapondry. Canadian bear fur though.
This one was a picture I took just outside of St. Paul's Cathedral, unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside of St. Paul's.
And here's a closer look at this random London arch.
And this (bad) picture was taken from the tour bus (I was on the wrong side of the bus apparently) of 10 Downing Street. This was as close as we could get, in a bus, and since there were guards and gates, maybe by foot as well. That's Holly's head by the way.
The following were all exterior shots of St. Paul's Cathedral. This was the place where Princess Diana got married. It holds the tombs of Wellington and Lord Horatio Nelson. Those were ... wow.
More later!
