85 Photo of the Day March 27 2011 -- Hunting, with compassion

Our cats get excited when Spring arrives. The birds, squirrels and chipmunks make great targets for their hunting dreams. Sadly for them, our cats never leave the house. But that does not stop them from their fantasy games. And the dreams become even more hopeful as they observe the chipmunk that lives just below our front stoop. It was hibernating all winter, but as soon as things began to warm up the little devil appeared. So did the sudden attention paid by our two girls. 


Here we see them, completely undaunted by the peaceful and benevolent Budda with right hand raised for "reassurance" (Abhaya Mudra) and left hand open in "charity" (Varada Mudra). Sad to say that such reassurance and charity was useless to the girls.


This photo was taken with flash and then in edited in Photoshop CS5 to bring out the colors.
