Up Close and Personal

I took a quick trip to our downtown area one day because I just had to get out of the house. I decided to do what I often hear you should do periodically and this is take only one lens and just do what you can with what you have. I took my 50mm and was near some these "sky rats" as a friend used to call them. I finally gave up on sneaking up on them for a close shot and soon after I started concentrating on the riverbank this one starts photo bombing me. I followed him and got what he probably wanted.

Our favorite Chocolate Chip

Yesterday my daughter asked me to enlarge her favorite photo of our recently-passed cat, Chip. I shot hundreds in the course of his life and he meant a lot to us. Especially her because it was principally her cat. This is the picture. She likes it because it's as though he is thinking hard about something as the sun sets. He thought a lot. We miss him. :*(
