This olive tree stands in the square at the top of Gorbio village. You can see the restored Château through the branches. At the top, a look-out with a to-die-for view of the Mediterranean. From the look-out, you see Italy to the left. Look right and there is Monaco. Spread out below is Menton and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.Meanwhile, the cat is content in the olive tree.
Pretty kitty, wonderful stripes - but it doesn't look happy to be photographed. Our cats loved the pine trees in front of our house - that were chopped down. We also have olive trees, but for some reason they don't run up those. The village looks just lovely too.
ReplyDeleteGreat snap-shot of "lie in ambush".
ReplyDeleteThat cat looks familiar somehow ...
ReplyDeleteNow Jilly, all the puppies are going to be jealous. How are my girls doing these days?

Great shot. The cat almost looks a little disturbed to have it's photo taken.
ReplyDeleteaw....he looks a little pissed that you found him!
ReplyDeletedefinitely has personality, this one.
Yesterday, I went to L'Annonciade monastery in Menton. I imagine perfectly your view from Gorbio.
ReplyDeleteAnd I met myself cats along the hike, watching me from above, feeling secure being high up.
Yours, Jilly is almost a chameleon cat ! He plays mimicry with the Olive tree branch.
Catherine, your walk to L'Annonciade monastery is something I want to feature soon on Menton DP so thankyou for the reminder. Thank goodness the weather is better for your visit her and thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. The cat looks content as it views the world passing by.
