Shellfish Cat, St. Ives...

Kitten allowed enough time to set up your gear - she seems to be on an even keel ... Very nice photograph, Reinhold.
I've never been to St. Ives - reminds me to R. L. Stephenson's eponymous novel.

That cat may have had an "exhibitionist" streak. There was a constant flow of people passing by, the cat was unruffled by the traffic only because it knew that another customer would order something at that window. As people saw what I was up to, they'd pause and step to one side trying not to spook the cat, but it was patiently waiting for the next customer... That's a fine example of patience for us photographers...

I like this a lot. Reminds me of a relaxed, tolerant time in British seaside places when the pace of life did not lead to an early grave

Was kitty waiting for customers in hopes of them sharing?

Very good! I too am surprised the cat waited so long. Of course, where food is involved ...
