A cat and a tree

 This cat stopped and appeared to be interested in making friends, but it stalked off when I took out my camera. Maybe it was camera shy.

I was following a paved path that runs between the river and the road. I came a large tree, the biggest in the area, and discovered that it was more than just a tree but it was also some sort of religious site. You can see the shimenawa rope tied around the trunk so the site must be Shinto.
