Meow Meow


meow.

Please don't think that I'm a crazy cat lady.  I live alone with my one cat who, as you may recall from an earlier post, is named Bella Princess Monster.  But just one cat.  And I don't have any plans to adopt another kitty anytime soon.  I swear. 

 


But seeing my dad and stepmom's new kitty, Isaiah, really made me want a kitten.  A tiny furry little thing with awkwardly big paws.  Seriously, how cute is he?

 

Although I really am not going to get another cat, not even a cute little kitten like Isaiah, I know I run the risk of looking like a crazy cat lady by posting these photos of Isaiah -- especially because I already posted some pictures of my own princess monster not too long ago.  Who else takes so many photos of cats except crazy cat ladies, right? 

 
I promise, though, that this will not become a kitty blog. I have plenty of other things to take photos of that don't have furry coats. So you better enjoy these photos of this little one, because there won't be more photos of kitties for a good long time (read: at least another month).

From on High


I wish I had the time to do a proper posting tonight.  I recently copied from my old laptop photos from the prior five years - including great photos from St. Lucia, Costa Rica, the Galapagos and Madison, Wisconsin (okay so this last location doesn't quite fit in with the others, but humor me, they're some great shots from a great college town that I lived in for a year).  I also took some really fun photos over this last weekend while I was visiting my family in Wisconsin. 

But alas.  I have too much work to do.  I don't have the time to weed through all my old and new photos and cobble together a thoughtful post with the best photos from any one of these places. 

So I give you just this one photo today.  It's from the top of a cathedral in Montreal.  It's also one of the rare times I've played with photoshop to change the effect of a photo.  Most of my photos are as they come, straight from the camera.  I see the fun in photography in capturing the right scene with my lens, not with careful doctoring on the computer.  But I like the effect here.  I hope you do too.
