This is the house I went to work on in Vermont.  It was up some pretty steep hills on a dirt road.


Very nice, though.
that house is leaning.....every where

The photo came out odd like that I am unsure why.  I can assure you the house is the only thing in the area that is not leaning,  there are no flat parts in the yard
my bad....let me try that with glasses on

No in the photo it does look like it's leaning but it's just the angles of everything else that makes it look that way I guess

That's a common problem photographing building without using a tilt lens.  They will appear to be leaning.

If I was a cat, I'd look an awful lot like this.



  That's a Devon, right?  My friend had one, R.I.P. Moose.  :heart:

No, I'm pretty sure it's a Sphynx.  The Devon has short hair.

Edit - You may be not far off the mark: 
In 2010, DNA analysis confirmed that Sphynx hairlessness was produced by an allele of the same gene that produces the Devon Rex (re), with the Sphynx allele being incompletely dominant over the Devon allele and both recessive to the wild type. However a different genetic symbol (hr) is given to the Sphynx gene and it is more likely that these are different genes interacting with each other. The only allowable outcross breeds in the CFA are now the American Shorthair and Domestic Shorthair. Other associations may vary and the Russian Blue is a permitted outcross in the GCCF. In Europe, mainly Devon Rex has been used for outcrosses.

This is the view from the front yard of the house I was working on the other day.  It looks fairly normal till you notice the control tower looming over the house across the street.  It's Tweed New Haven airport,  they only have small commuter planes and private jets no big planes,  still at times it got very loud when they pulled up to the terminal which was next to the tower.

Whew, glad you explained that.  I thought the aliens had landed.

Looks like a very young kitten. Adorable. :)
Can't tell if the eyes would stay blue or they would change.
