"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." . . This is Pixie, who condescended to help me experiment with my new camera. She allows my son and his family and their dog to share her house. Thank you for looking into her eyes. Comments very welcome and always appreciated.

Pixie huh... I don't think i'd want to mess with "Pixie" at all. I can imagine her EATING pixies perhaps... Anyway, this is a great shot. Very powerful.

From that look I gather that Pixie thinks you are an intruder and has unwillingly let you take her picture.
Nice shot, Lyn - a bit scary :)

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

They were also thought to be witches' familiars and in mediaeval times were often bricked into the walls of a new house to ward off evil. There again they're just wonderful creatures like Pixie here that let us "uprights" co-habit with them. Great shot Lyn.

A beautiful sunny day but really really cold, burr and the windchill makes it a lot worse.
