I was visiting my parents when the cat hopped up onto the arm of the sofa where I sat. After a few moments I realized the little thing was fast asleep. I've never seen a cat sleep this way before . . . sitting up, head tucked into toes, tail wrapped around nose.
Oh how precious! What a little sweetie. Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog Beth. I have really enjoyed getting to know you too. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
How cute! We have two cats and we have laughed at the different ways our little gals have figured out how to take their naps. Your folk's cat reminds me of pictures I have seen of hedgehogs curled into themselves. May your days be merry and bright.
Ah yes, the awesomely wonderful Jai Jai. You know she sleeps like that all the time! She really is different. I'm so glad to see her picture on your post today!
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. -- E. M. Forster
Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain
