I've got. A Cat.

Eye to Eye with Blue

A little departure from my usual musings…

Every once an a while, when the sun is out and the time is right, cats go into the day crazies (there is a similar variation known as night crazies). They skitter, they leap, they walk sideways, turn somersaults, and levitate and transport themselves, in cartoon fashion, across various vertical and horizontal surfaces.

And then they plotz.

Cats, as I understand it, have no sense of self. But after an event of wild abandon, they head off to wherever the sun is streaming and lay in the glow of light and strike a pose,

or two,

or three,

or forty – in movie star fashion, in some kind of repose as if to expect the camera to capture them in their glorious, sultry elegance.

This time I obliged.

And, within seconds, she fell asleep in heat of the sun.

    hi there – I found you thru Phabulous PhotoArgus. I love that website. I try ( TRY ) is the operative word here, I try to learn something new every day, whether it be a concept, or a whole lesson (if it is 4 steps or less..)

    Then I find myself wandering to all the bajillion sites that splinter off Photoargus – today, I am fortunate enough to have stumbledupon your kitty cat crazie post.

    Well, I have had 2 knee surgeries in the past 4 months and have been stuck in the house and have so many cat pictures i can just about taste em.

    As far as getting lessons on how to get the light just right for a cat pict? Not gunna happen. I have it to a perfect science, whats enough, too much, not enough.

    I would love love to send you some samples. May I?

    Great blog Mr. Waner. I love your blog and I wished you had more to admire – especially that of the animal variety.

    My link goes to some of my images, I have taken a ton more in the past week that I would love to be criteeeked by you.

    All my very best,
