This and the previous entry are good representations of what I've been interested in photographing lately ... the odd architectural detail and florals.

SlimFatty and the River!
|
|
|
these are various views that highlight or include the Schuylkill River. If you're outside of Philadelphia, you may not be familiar with the pronunciation of that. It's sku-kill. None of the extra letters get pronounced.

Anubis in the Snow
|
|
|
[b]These are my extra kitties, the two strays that I feed. This was the first time I'd seen them in over a week after all the snow we got recently. I was worried about them being off somewhere starving.
I've named them. The big golden striped tabby is Mack Catty. The black kitty is Anubis. I've been feeding them for almost 5 months and Mack Catty still shies away from me. I think he was born in the streets and has never really "known" people. Anubis, on the other hand, is very friendly. She loves to rub up against my legs when I go out into the yard. Usually, I find that when kitties are friendly like that and seem familiar with people, it's because they were part of a household at one point and were put out in the streets.
If anybody EVER has any doubts on the subject ... the answer is YES, it is much better to take an unwanted pet to various animal shelters than to put them out in the streets!
Don't do anything to an animal that you wouldn't want done to YOU!

The Red Chair

Guess who just got a new digital camera?  Yep, that's right ... ME!! Although, film photography will always be my true love. I got a Fuji FinePix S5100. It's pretty nifty and has 122 pages of instruction manual features.  THAT's one downside to digital that I'm NOT liking. But one thing I really like is that it came with a filter adapter ring. Yay! No extra purchase necessary. Better yet, the filter adapter just happens to be 55mm which is the size of all filters I use for my film cameras. 
While positioning myself at my window, I started practicing on night shots. The next day I started practicing on Photoshop. The chair you see in green and in red is actually a rather dull beige. Not dull because it's beige, but dull because the thing is old and worn out.

This was one of those moments that made me spend some time thinking about myself and what I'm willing to do for others around me, both human and animal.
The lady in the photos was homeless. Everything she owned was in a cart on wheels. Yet, she was willing to share what little food she had with the pigeons and seagulls. I may have said it before here, but here it is again ... I'm always amazed when I see someone who doesn't have to be kind actually being kind!

Best wishes for a Happy New Year for everybody!
My friend Mark's yard looks like a botanical dreamland. He has flowers and plants everywhere. I got these pictures right after he'd watered all the plants. I just love water droplets!

SlimFatty and the Spirit of Christmas Past!
|
|
This is me back in 1967. To this day, I remember it as one of the best Christmases I've ever had. It was a very happy day. 
Merry Christmas to all

I have a friend who is really into dog shows and he got me interested in going to one. So many beautiful dogs that are spoiled and pampered beyond belief!
