The Throne!

This is at the top of the hill (approximately 440 metres) which our human goes for daily morning walks.
Our human do not know but believed that it was probably assembled by one creative and playfully mischievous hiker.
Anyone care or brave enough to sit on this nature's 'throne'?

Avid Hiker Jack Russell

She started her first hike when she was three months' old; a tiny little thing then and was dot on by many hikers.
Now an adult, with her short muscular legs, she climbs with such ease putting many hikers to shame.
This is one of the many low steep slopes near the start of the hike with higher and steeper slopes as you ascend.
As you can see our little friend here received no help at all while humans grunted clambering up.
Our human has seen many hikers slip and fall here.

Ginger Cat and Black Cat Visitors

Two days ago there was loud feline wailings outside the house. Thinking it was the neighbours' cats fighting, our human decided to check and perhaps break up the fight.
It was between two unfamiliar strays, a completely black cat and a ginger cat outside in front of the gate. They broke up when our human repeatedly told them to 'go home'! 
Both cats had bald patches and injuries on their heads and necks.
The black cat left but not the ginger cat. It jumped up, sat on the parapet and eyed our human. Its eyes looked a bit weird; the left smaller than its right eye was probably injured by previous fights. It sauntered off after a short rest.
Both were not seen since.
