Spoiled Kitties

 

 

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but my cats are incredibly spoiled.  Those of you who love cats probably know exactly what I’m talking about.

 

 

Anyway, my cats are so spoiled, they have numerous beds of their own to choose from yet they always seem to end up in a chair or on the couch where my seat was vacated for less than a minute.  They always give me the same look when I come back to my seat too…  “What?  You got up.  Your loss.”  And to show how spoiled they are, I don’t even bother moving them from my seat, I simply find another place to sit.  Sad?  Maybe.  I prefer to say it’s out of love, not that they own the place and simply allow me to live here to feed them and clean their litter box.  [-_^]  I heard a saying once that’s spot on, “Dogs have owners, Cats have staff.”

 

 

But, here’s proof…

 

 

Lazy Spoiled Kitties

 

I was ejected from not one, but two seats by both cats.  And what did I do when I returned to said seats to find they‘d been shanghaied?  I tucked in the napping fur babies and found another place to sit.

 

 

I’m weak, I know.

 

 

 

 

Until next time…

Too Cute

 

 

Hello again folks!  Now, seeing as this is technically a photography blog and seeing as I failed to post a photo last time, I figured I’d share a cute little snapshot of my youngest cat, Kenzi.

 

 

This was among the first shots I took this year of my cats.

Both of my cats are super photogenic, unlike me.  [-_^]  But Kenzi’s always doing cute poses, usually when my camera isn’t in reach so I’m always happy when I can catch a good image.

 

 

Cat lovers, hug your feline friends (or feline friends of your friends if you don’t have any fur babies yourself)!

 

 

 

Until next time…

Farewell 2016

 

It’s time to bid 2016 farewell. Today marks the last Monday of the year, thus this is my last blog post of the year. Next Monday will not only bring with it a new year, but a slight change in my blogging schedule.

 
Instead of a new blog post every Monday, I’ll be posting a new blog every OTHER Monday. Aww, I can feel your sadness.

 
I made this decision so that I could start focusing more on my other writing projects in the year to come. My hope is to be able to finish my second novel and start looking into avenues of publication.

 
I will make a new post next Monday to kick off the new year, so I’ll leave you with this random photo of a chipmunk I took earlier this year…

Hey, Chip! Where’s Dale!? (ba-dum-tss  *sound of crickets*)

 

Anyway…

 

 
Until next time…

December Pick-Me-Up

 

With the days getting colder as we travel further into winter, I figured it’d be nice to post a shot of something bright and lively. An image to help folks look forward to spring. It may seem like a long way off right now, especially in areas that already have several feet of snow, but we’ll get there eventually. We always do.

Oh, and since next Monday falls on the 26th, and is the last Monday of 2016 (already!?) I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy/Merry *insert holiday here*! Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope it’s joyous, healthy, and safe!

 

 

 

Until next time…

Tunk Waterfall

 

Tunk Mountain is one of my favorite places after Quoddy to go hiking.  When I was there earlier this year, every little brook and stream was dry from a severe lack of rain.

 

 

On my most recent hike, I was glad to see the water had returned to a more normal level.  The brooks and streams were flowing full force.

 

 

I stopped at one of my favorite spots for picnics and photographs.  It was too cold that day to picnic next to the cold waters, so I just settled for some photographs.  I decided to play around with some of the in-camera photo effects.  I liked this black and white image the best, seconded by the same shot set up in black and white with a hint of blue in the water.
