A cat and some salt

 This not very pretty cat was eating from a plate that someone had left on some stairs leading from the path down to the water. The cat was more interested in the food than me but it did turn this once to check and make sure that I was harmless, not a dog or something.

I crossed a bridge to get back on my side of the river and to head for home. In the middle of the bridge was a viewing area so that people can look at the river without blocking the sidewalk. These two bags were just sitting there. When I looked at them closely, I discovered that they were salt for drivers to use if the bridge got icy. So far this winter has been very mild so I do not think that there has been any day when the salt would have been needed.
