The story behind these incredible cats: First off, I can’t believe I missed yesterday! Secondly, I never expected either one of these two to show up in my life, but they did, and I couldn’t be happier.

Pine - the Brown Tabby (a.k.a. The Tiger)
and I found Pine in a ditch under a Pine Tree when he was 3 months old. He was so scared, shaking and crying. I gave him some temporary food, shelter, and love. I was a traveling man at the time and had no room for a cat in my life, so I brought him to the Humane Society. But they weren’t very nice to him when I dropped him off, so when I got a couple miles down the road, I turned around and drove back, yelled at them, and ordered to have “my” cat back 😂 He’s been with me ever since. He’s about to be 5 years old. He will always be my day 1 homie.
Razz - the Orange Tabby (a.k.a. The Lion)
In January, and I were taking a walk in our cul de sac and we saw an orange kitty roaming around the parked cars. Lola said “If he follows us home, we’re going to keep him”. Sure enough, he followed us right up into the house and we fed him. We had to make sure he didn’t have an owner before we could keep him…turned out - the private school in the woods behind our house put two kittens in the wild to “control the snake population”…what a f*cking joke (we lived in the backwoods of Texas in Coyote country so no way they would’ve survived.) So, we DEFINITELY decided to keep him. We named him Razz because he was quite the Spazz when we found him, but I love every second of it. Razz is 1 year and 7 months.
These two cats have so much character I can’t even begin to describe it in writing. Those who know them can definitely confirm. AND they compliment each other so well. Pine, the wise, more conservative overwatcher - Razz, the wild, young, super-lovey adventure kitty. They just light up my world. So, thank you Universe, thank you for bringing these two amazing creatures into my life. @ Austin, Texas

Idk what it is about this photo, but to me...this one feels legendary. Maybe it’s just the people in it?
Rarely, I think some of the photos I take feel “iconic”, not because of me taking the photo, but the people in it. I only feel it with select people, and this group of people is one of them. The type of “iconic” like when you see an old image of Jimi Hendrix playing guitar on a couch in his room, or a photo of Marilyn Monroe sitting against her bed smoking a cigarette in her nightgown.
You know, those private snapshot moments of powerful people before they did their life changing s**t and someone caught a true, raw moment of them. That photo will then age away in the archives until years down the road when they’ve hit it big, someone uncovers the old photo. This photo may never be that, but that’s the feeling I had when I exported it, and I’m a feeling chaser, so it felt good. :)
These are 4 very powerful people who haven’t even got started yet....so watch out world. :)
