Well the new camera has been used so much today I think I have repetitive strain injury in my finger. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with it most of the time but am having fun trying. The cats had four little Christmas stockings with goodies in including catnip amoebas (they were meant to be catnip fish but as I made them they looked a bit further back on the evolutionary scale than that). I did try and get some shots of the cats with the stockings but the light was dreadful so very few were in focus. Things were slightly more successful when I opened the little parcel my friend Sandra had sent them. Inside were three bright mice that Pepper immediately attacked. Anyway, here are the pics. Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas Day.

ReplyDeleteI've now got a set of close-up lenses, so I'm hoping to take some nice kit-pix a la Barbara! (Though I don't expect they'll be nearly as good as yours!)

ReplyDeleteJulie - Pepper is cute, but she is also a devil in disguise!
Great shots - what kind of camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteOh, they are just lovely, all of them. And I love what you've done to the evolutionary scale. Scientists will be scratching their heads.
