I am very fortunate in that I have an insanely easy job. I get to play with a 9 year old and an awesomely energetic cat every afternoon when school lets out.

This was one of the very first pictures I took with my new camera…a rare moment when Meowzer stopped long enough to check out that big thing in my hands before she ran off to hide in a cabinet or run circles in the house.

I took this picture in the sun room a little after 3pm before the time changed. The sun room is in the back of the house, which faces to the west, so there was a bit too much light. Now that I’ve had time to play with my camera and learn it better, I know I did some things wrong. I can still be proud that I took such a great picture only hours after getting my new camera, though, right?
