Lily Startled

For anyone not acquainted with her, Lily is the cat next door. I rarely see her, and it's rarer still that I am able to approach close enough to pet her (not for many months now). Tonight  from the dinner table I saw her passing by the back door; I grabbed my camera and went to see if she had stopped in sight--and she actually had. She was lying on the driveway, doubtless to absorb the remaining heat of the day.  I took pictures through the glass of the back door--and then she saw me. Up she stood, startled, and this was the shot.

A previous blip is here -- I don't think our relationship has progressed much since.  And this one is more recent.
