It may be small (2 megapixels) but the iPhone camera is mighty! This was shot
in the early morning - during a walk in the woods with the dogs... filtered sunlight
through the trees... pretty magical effect, eh?

Into the age of 'instant gratification' this was taken with an iPhone. I love the fact that I always have the camera with me, and it is capable of capturing my imagination. This photo was taken in B&W with an application that makes it look like an old time photo. How cool is that? Plus - the bark is especially textural - and the vine wrapped tree in front is just an additon to the cool factor. Can you tell I love it?

Meet Aubie. She came over for a visit today, and posed ever so pretty on this stump. Actually, I have to admit that I followed her around for quite awhile as she scampered here and there scratching this and that.... but just wouldn't hold still... UNTIL this shot. It's like she teased me then found the perfect spot and decided she'd pose. I had cats for many many years - I'd forgotten how sweet they are, I mean - who wouldn't think she was pretty darn cute!!? OH, yeah - you just have to click on this picture, and be ready to say Awwww...

Since the last image was of Cassie and Pooh - Sam thought he should be front and center... using Cassie as a pillow. He's doing great after the knee surgery *TPLO* I'm floored to think that it was only 9 days ago!

I have gained a new respect for my laptop. I used to live in fear of it crashing... but my new best friend is the 'reset point'... if something goes wrong I tell it to go back to the last save point and reset... it's like a magical UNDO button... and I'm up and running - feeling bulletproof once more.

I feel EPT!

No matter where they are - Pooh is close by. I just sent him through a wash/dry cycle, as they gum him and he gets kinda stinky... but for the most part - they both find him comforting and are either snuggled up with him or resting their chins on him. He serves as both pal and prop for both Sam and Cassie.

Have you ever started to view 'machines' as almost human and worried?
I know most of us have a fine line between humans and pets - but... a 'time machine' that is placed each night so that it can communicate with the Great Time Clock... and check the accuracy of its settings!

What I'm talking about is more commonly known as a WATCH! This demanding little thing has to be placed, nightly, so that it has a direct line of communication to access some sort of information beams outside - it updates itself & checks timekeeping accuracy with some link out there that tells it what time is 'right'.

I come to expect to see it hanging in between the slats of the blinds... craning its 'neck' to reach out to this invisible beam. When it travels with him, I miss its presence, and take some comfort when it comes home to roost. Does saying goodnight to it make me odd?
