Today’s photo features a tabby cat having a good ‘ol time, enjoying a sunny day in a field of tall grass. Captured by photographer Seiji Mamiya, the sun-drenched photo is bathed in a soft yellow glow, giving a feeling of warmth and contentment. Whether you’re a “cat person” or not, doesn’t it make you wish you could be a cat, just for a day?

The shot was captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and an EF70-200mm lens at 200mm, f/3.5.
