I stood before the immense stairs and considered walking up to pay my respects, but then to my left a tawny cat ran up into the brush!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went after it, climbed a wall, and sat on the hill alongside the stairs. I thought of scaling the incline, there was a clear path, but I reconsidered. Thought it might be irreverent, when the stairs are right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I followed the path the cat crossed, found a maintenance vehicle around the bend. I went further and off path. Found an empty cat food bag, and a blanket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/azores-spring-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/154\/2019\/06\/MG_7509-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/azores-spring-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/154\/2019\/06\/MG_7509-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/azores-spring-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/154\/2019\/06\/MG_7509-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/azores-spring-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/154\/2019\/06\/MG_7509-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/azores-spring-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/154\/2019\/06\/MG_7509-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>From a Distance.
