Sputnik in sunlight and shadow

Sputnik

She found the only square of sunlight coming through and hitting the floor. The marked contrast of shadow and sunlight paired with her graceful moves caught my eye.

Is that a shadow or merely the feline's markings on his back? Te changing lighting alters what we see and/or how we see it. Nice kitty, beautiful effects!

Ralph, She does have markings on her back, but that is actually a shadow on her back in the photo. So true about lighting altering how we see something.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

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.
