Evolution of Digital Cameras

As much as I love digital photography, I’m glad it’s improved so very much. So when this week’s photo challenge was to show the word blur, I thought I’d share how far the cameras have come since 2001. Back when digital cameras were new, I bought an upper end point-and-shoot, the Canon Pro90. I quickly…

Jesus Calling – Mary vs. Martha

My daily devotional for this year is from the book, “Jesus Calling“, by Sarah Young.  It’s similar to the classic, “God Calling“, but (for me), more contemporary.  I wanted something simpler for this year, that I could contemplate throughout the day. However, I’ve already had a few meltdowns with it.  It might be short, but…

Trembling With Excitement

The kitten is trembling with excitement over his newest toy – what will it do?  Will it eat him?  Run away?  Fly up in the air? Note how he’s hanging onto the edge of the stair with those big claws of his as he chases after a camera battery that he dug out of my…

Companionship Provides Warmth

When Cat #2 was dying from cancer, I worried whether I would lose Cat #1 at the same time.  Cat #1 always had an above average need for companionship and I didn’t think he’d do well as an only cat. Cat #2 was still somewhat healthy, so we brought home the kitten while there was time for…

Swiping Office Supplies

Did you think that swiping office supplies was done by the less-than-ethical at work?  Oh no it’s not – here’s Siamese cat #2 contemplating which push pin he’s getting ready to pull out of the bulletin board and spit on the floor.  If my favorite boy toy didn’t catch him fast enough, the push pins and papers would…

Accomplice Is What I Want

Jean-Paul Sartre once said: I have no need for good souls: an accomplice is what I wanted. Saul Bellow added to that with: When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice. I’ve been posting here every day since February.  I’ve told stories and posted photos of my own accomplices and the…

Before The Cat, A Kitten

I’ve written before about how much I loved my Siamese cats and how I missed them as each one passed away.  With the dogs, I don’t plan on getting another cat.  Actually, after the dogs, I might just go without pets for a while altogether. But before the cat, came the kitten.  Here is Siamese #1,…

Counters Are No Obstacle

Just like we never feed the dogs at the table, we also never let the cats up on the kitchen counter.  Of course, some cats think it’s their right to go wherever they want regardless of the house rules.  Maybe doing winky blinkies will make Mom forget the rules. Word for tomorrow – QUITS.  If you…
