Here comes the spring!

  It's still January and I guess it should be freezing cold outside, and indeed it is once in a while, but then there are those days when the sun shines and the temperatures rise up to somewhere between +10 and +15 degrees Celsius, and that's when it happens... the tiny small invertebrates comes out from their hides and it's time to attach the macro lens and get out. Here's a few images as an early starter for the spring...

"Who would believe such pleasure from a wee ball o' fur?" - Irish Saying

  I've made quite a few images of cats during these past years and I still find them a nice subject to photograph. Right now there is four cats in our household and honestly, I sometimes feel there is just four too many of them. But as the Iris saying quoted above says, there are moments when when these selfish little fellows even give you some good moments. On a cold day they warm you, those funny kittens making you laugh and when having a bit of stress petting a cat can work as a reliever and of course those images. When not having any money to go and shoot big cats you can always stay at home and shoot small cats with big egos.

 So, here follows a few images of cats...

                       Cats eat a lot, no matter big or small...



                 ...Food makes them sleepy...
                             
                       ... And it's time to close the eyes.

                      Once open again it might seem a bit boring, but just for a while...

                     ...You can always climb a tree...

    
                  ...Check out if the new neighbors have moved in...

...Climb up a bird feeder and see if the flying meatballs would fly to the mouth...

                       ...Or just smell flowers and  wonder...

                       ...Until it has once again come time to take a nap.

  Just for the fun, a picture from the archive...
                             ...A tree devouring a stop sign. I guess you can't stop the nature.
