intruder alert

[OT from cottage renovations]

what a surprise it was this morning to find this unexpected visitor clinging to an inside windowframe upstairs.  I have no idea how it got in, nor how long it has been here, but fearing for what would happen should it attract feline attention I let it outside, but not before taking this image. 

so ends the resolve (based on yesterday's raw image data) of standing down from photos until the camera innards can get a good cleaning this evening.  the window glass looks like it could use some too.
