Caturday

This is my beautiful kitty, Penny. She doesn't seem to like having her picture taken since she rarely sits still long enough to get a picture. However, today I was able to get some pictures when she was relatively distracted since she was playing with her little mouse toy. I let her play for a bit, and then when I could tell she was starting to get tired, I grabbed the camera to catch the rest of the action. She was being so cute! I am so excited that I was able to capture just a hint of her cuteness to share with everyone else!! :)

Serval

This is a Serval eating a baby duck. This picture was taken at a zoo. I happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture this beautiful cat in a moment where it probably felt free. I don’t normally like seeing animals eating each other, but that is the way life is in the wild.

I entered this photograph into a judged gallery and into one of Photographers Forum’s yearly contest. I got accepted in both places. I even became a finalist in the contest among the thousands of entries they received. This picture is now printed in that years’ book of winners and finalists. I never expected this photograph to go so far, but now other people can see a moment of the sometimes cruel beauty of life the way I did that day.

Muskrat

I'm going through some old pictures I took at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. I always love going to zoo and seeing all of the exotic animals! I am drawn to their various characteristics, markings, and colors. I find it fascinating seeing and learning about these creatures that live around us that we can sometimes be so unaware of, as well as the ones that are impossible to hide or blend in because of their sheer size! Anyways, I am not actually sure if this picture is of a muskrat, but that is the best guess I have. I get so excited every year when the weather warms up and all the zoos open back up for the season. I can't wait until next year!

Caturday

This is my pretty Penny as I like to call her! Isn't she so pretty?!? :)

Penny

This is my beautiful cat, Penny! I raised her since she was born which was about two years ago. She is a wonderful, well-behaved cat. She follows me around the house and even sleeps at my feet every night. I am sure this won't be the last picture I post of her. She is often my subject since she is so full of personality. She is my little baby!
