OK, I've posted about huge plants we've seen growing out of the storm drain.
I have noticed that the city must have come and removed them recently, by the way.
Anyway, I can't help looking into storm drains during our walks to see what else might be growing out of it.
I wonder how deep it is and what it looks like inside.
I've seen painted signs on the pavement saying not to drop things in the storm drains because it goes directly into the ocean.
I found this message from the Hawaii Transportation website:
"The storm water drainage system along our roads and highways is designed to carry water quickly off the roadway and safely away. This means that any pollutants that are swept up in the storm water are carried directly to the ocean, polluting our waters. That’s why we all need to be aware of storm water issues and do our part to keep pollutants out of the storm drains."
Anyway...
Just wanted to show you what I saw recently staring up at me.
Not to worry, when we passed by, I looked back and saw it had jumped out and scampered away. I hope he (or she) doesn't jump into the drainage again during a rainstorm.
A kitten? It has such large ears it looks like the kittens daughters had years ago. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHope the kitten doesn't go back there.
ReplyDeleteBe safe little kitty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like living in the wetland, where water is filtered before it end up in the lake.
Better a kitten than a clown named Pennywise.
ReplyDeleteThe drains off our roads go into our rivers and so should not be polluted either! Tell that to the folks who work in their cars right in the road, so am sure they are very careful with oil, etc. Yeah, right??!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteOmg wasnt expecting that
ReplyDeleteThat kitten sighting would be alarming at first.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww. How cute. I guess feral cats seem to survive pretty well. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI liked what Ed said about Pennywise, but I sure hope that kitten had a mini surfboard! Hope you & your family have a nice Thanksgiving, Kay :)
ReplyDeleteCute kitty! Hope it will manage to survive. They are hardy little creatures and good hunters. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little thing. I would have been worried, too, if I saw a kitten peering out at me like that! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Kay! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat picture broke my heart. I recently saw such a young black kitten do the same thing. There was traffic so I couldn't stop but I have thought about him ever since.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Thanksgiving Kay.
So cute! I sure hope it was on high ground yesterday when it poured buckets of rain.
ReplyDeleteNow those feral cats in Hawaii are just plane creepy. What surprised me about storm sewers is how deep there are.
ReplyDeleteAwww. A cute kitty. Be safe, little one.
ReplyDeleteBad potential there, cat.
ReplyDeleteDoes look a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Wishes to you and yours.
All the best Jan
