Close-ups

Tired and lacking too many braincells to be witty.  Enjoy close-ups of the cats.

Here's another reflection picture of Maddie, looking out the front window at the birds hopping around the freshly turned vegetable garden, nabbing bewildered worms:

It's taken us several years to turn the solid red clay soil there into a viable growth medium.  Now all we have to do is alter the earth's axial tilt a bit to garner a little more direct sunshine and all should be good.  In any event, Fresh Roma Tomatoes in 6 weeks!

Here's a picture of Ivy preparing to settle down for her late-mid-morning nap.  She looks content, doesn't she?

BTW, a nice hat-tip to some anonymous individual thatposted to a digital photo site.  He or she suggested that a standard paper coffee filter placed over the flash on a camera will mellow out some of the harshness of a built-in flash.  This (while not a great pic) doesn't have the overly silvered-out fur that almost all Ivy shots have.  I guess if I can't get her in sunlight, I'll have to remember this trick.

Actually... Maggie looks like she's deep in thought...

they both are concentrating on something....even if it's falling asleep.
