(Day 332) Harrumph !

Well, I'm assuming that's the sound a cat makes when it's having its portrait taken and it doesn't want to be disturbed. And if it doesn't make that sound, then it's pretty evident from its facial expression.

No, we didn't adopt a Florida cat, although my wife fell in love with this 19 lb fur ball the instant she set eyes on it. It actually belongs to the gentleman who looks after our home here when we're not here. It was definitely not amused as I interrupted its nap with a click.

Test Run

Sometimes before committing to something it's good to do a test run. So before I completely commit to doing the 365 project, I thought I'd use the remaining days of 2009 to get a feel for taking and publishing photos every day. It should be a challenge given the busyness of the holiday season.

So for today I thought I'd introduce one of the members of the family - Lola, the resident devil. Cats may have a brain (debatable), probably only the size of a pea, but this one's devoted to doing evil. Normally she lies in front of the wood stove, but as soon as we sit down for a cup of coffee, or dinner, she heads for the plants or now, to the Christmas tree. Arrrgh !

Here's a picture of her lying near the stove, with pea-brain working overtime ...
