This is our youngest cat Julie. I call her Jewels’ because she is quite preciousness and she trills instead of meowing, it is a soothing sound and very cool besides. I wrote a short poem about her and her mother Butterfly back in 12′.

Here she is grown up and all. Julie, aka Jewels’
We have a new visitor in our area. Apparently it came from Siberia and it is cold air, which equals cold temperatures. Now last year was cold but our outside cat Butterfly hung tough till January when the temps got down into the teens, then we brought her in whether she wanted us to or not. It seems she has coldar now and this is note I found taped to the door of the outside door to the study……..
And this is who I found enjoying the comfort of my reading chair, yes I have a reading chair or better put a chair under really good lighting for these tired old eyes…..none the less here is Butterfly letting me know that yes its cold out….
I am now back on the kitchen remodel for what is turning out to be phase 2 of a “simple” remodel. The next phase is to open up the living room/dining room by removing a load bearing wall.We have a builder helping us but that is not going to happen till after the New Year because my point man on that project is busy till then. In the mean time I will finish the base cabinets and install the dishwasher, post old stuff, take some inside macro shots and shot as much as the weather allows of things in my corner of the world. Right now I am using unabashed cuteness to drive up my blog stats 😉 by posting a picture of Our Boy.
As I mentioned in my last post I am trying to stretch myself creative wise, not height wise to justify my present weight. As I was finishing the first book I have read since Spring I looked around and decided to shoot something within our study. I cleared The Brides desk off and grabbed a couple of things from my random collection of junk. Here are two of those attempts a trying something new.
Most people take pictures of the trees and wide panoramic shoots of Autumn and all its splendor. Me? No, I get down on the ground and take a shot like this one of Autumns Rainbow.
I am re-posting some of my early post as a way to buy me sometime till I can get some fresh captures. Over the next several weeks I am going to stretch myself a bit photography wise as well, not just from the good eats that abound from here till Christmas……..
I shot the following pictures with a Nikon Coolpix 4600 I just bought off an online auction. Low tech compared to most cameras now but it still rocks none the less! Enjoy!
It has not been a good couple of days for The Bride and I, so I have not had the time to get in any new shoots.With the weather about to turn nasty for a few a bit, it is time to hit the way-back files for something to post. I took the bottom photo several years back at a friend of The Brides and mine fortieth Birthday celebration. All the colors remind me of Autumn. The top is of our beloved Dainty Dot Queen of the World, may she rest in peace.
I put the CV axle back in the car Friday and went through a few more of the folks boxes. I started out the day at the Vets with Dainty Dot Queen of the World and we were hoping she had a kidney/bladder infection but alas it is not. She has stopped eating and has the same symptoms her half-brother had three years ago. The vet thought it was a type of stomach cancer possibly and I fear my little Lady has been struck with it as well. We will watch her for the next day or so but if there is no improvement, well let just say we are spending more time with her and just enjoying the moment.
I was wrapping up the install of the CV axle on my ride and felt the Sun falling fast towards the tomorrow. I remembered a small group of Wood Asters I had spied returning from the vet with my second oldest cat Dainty Dot Queen of the World. The vet treated her for a kidney infection and we hope for a positive outcome but at 15 years old we will have to see. So I took a short break to capture them before the next frost or two gets them. It was enjoyable to just breath in and enjoy the day a little because like these flowers we never know what tomorrow holds. Besides with the universe as our backdrop we all are short timers so enjoy what you have and take a moment to be thankful for even the littlest of things.
