These photographs were taken yesterday afternoon in my backyard. I was photographing some fallen flowers when I spotted my cat, Chance, in the background. He looked at me as if he wanted me to take his picture. And so I did… and boy, did that cat pose. Seriously, he knew I was admiring him through the camera lens. He would sit so still and beautiful and then roll on his back… always looking back to make sure I was watching. He is hilarious. I love love Love this cat. For these photographs, I set my camera to manual focus and turned off the flash. I wanted to fool around with bokeh some more, so I used Chance as my subject. And in case you were wondering folks, cause I know you probably were, his coat is as soft as it looks in the photographs. He’s one fluffy and an awesome, friendly cat! But a whiner… like Garfield… he is very vocal. Please feel free to leave any and all feedback! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Your cat pictures are beautiful! You have some excellent poses, and your cat has an extremely healthy looking COAT.
He is a magnificent creature.
Oh, he reminds me of a dear boy from my past…another Garfield look-alike called Whiskey. He, too, was a vocal ham.
Thanks for talking about how you approached these fine images.
Beautiful kitty. I like the way you showed him off in various ways. And really like “the clarity is in the flowers.” Nice. š
I am a bit partial to animal shots…loved it :)!
Fantastic post, fabulous pictures. I too like The Clarity Is in the Flowers, yet An Untruthful and Accidental Photograph is so striking and special.
Thank-you for visiting my blog, and for the like! Miaow!
So adorable š & thank you for the comment!
Cats have so many tags they forget their given names, lol. A real cat lovers series.
I took the liberty of making a thumbnail of ‘Untruthful’ and posting it as a link to this page – that ok Polly?
Why yes of course!
thanks again for the like.
Your photography is very impressive, but I am especially partial to these shots! Sooo preciuos, they almost made me misty-eyed!..I could just picure how you described the “shoot”…You probably guessed it by now, I love my cat dearly as well…Anyone who love love loves their cat is cool by me!
Thank you so much!!! Yeah I’m a cat lover… but we had to kick poor Chance outside when he wouldn’t quit urinating on our furniture… I fought for him to stay inside for years… but it got old so now he is outside. AND loving it I might add! He always brings us special “gifts” to our doorstep š
aww i love ginger cats, i really want of my own ā¤
gorgeous photos
Cats can be tricky little devils to photograph, but you did a wonderful job with Chance. I’m especially taken with the first one.
I love your photography especially these of your cat. The angle and the lighting are perfect. You captured the essence of the cat’s life. And the B&W, WOW!
I loved this post, it’s cute and funny!
