Shadow Shot Sunday

I have been gone from this blog for awhile! Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday is just the incentive I needed to get things rolling again.

In winter, I wake up every morning to windows decorated with condensation. These windows face south, so by mid-afternoon, the windows are usually completly dry from the sun.

What is it with cats and water from everywhere but their water dish?

How cute is that...well you know, it's Sputnic's house anyway, you are just the caretaker and chef...

Cool shadows, however minute.

How clever of you to train Sputnik to clean your windows. Do you hire him out?

Tiny shadows but a fascinating perspective on the art of droplets of water! Love Sputnik's contribution to the landscape!

What a nice way to look at a wet window rather than as a nuisance. Sputnik seems to agree. Cute shot.

Lovely photo; I can't even imagine the windows in our house ever having condensation! Very pretty.
I like the second picture too - cute!

Hey Harriet said…
Such pretty water droplets & tiny shadows. Lovely! Sputnik (great name btw!) is a star! What a beautiful photo! I love the splash of bright pink tongue in the middle of the image...and those long whiskers. Very sweet :)
That's funny! I love the way the rivlets of water looks kind of like alligator skin. Cool shot!!
Hello Juana!! We always love water shots...and how kind of Sputnik to be cleaning it off for you!
Have a great week!

You guys have really left some wonderful comments! Thank you! It is funny how cats seem to think the water is fresher elsewhere than what's in the dish (even though I change the water twice a day).
What a great shot of the cat..I laughed out loud when I saw it..They are so cute..Your pictures are wonderful..Happy SSS..
Glad your back..
Wow, wonderful texture shots of the water drops. Unique and beautiful! Happy Shadow Sunday!

You could enter that cat picture in a contest and you'd be the winner. That is one cool picture!

Happy SSS!

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
