    Picture Taking with Luxie

    Orchid with calico cat

     

    You know how some kitty cats don't like having their pictures taken?  They make funny frown faces or turn away.  Not Luxie.  Luxie seems to know when a camera is around.  This is what happens every single time I try to take photos of my orchids.  She knows she's the prettiest kitty and certainly I want to include in her in the photos with the silly old flowers.

      Hi Miss Pam. Lucie's thinking that the orchids don't compare with her beauty. I would have to agree. The orchids are lovely, though. Winky winks to Luxie.

      It seems to me it is a healthy mix of feline good luck, timing and lashings of nature to light and show off the beauty of the world we inhabit. A lovely set of selfies this week, that capture just that, even without the Topaz they sparkle.

      Yes, some of us HATE having our picture taken and Mommy has to be sneaky to get good ones and others of us just love it when Mommy gets the camera out. Fenris and Yin adore having their picture taken, Yang and Chimera don't mind but they don't want to be still and Scylla and Tuiren hate having their picture taken and do everything they can to avoid the camera.

      What a beautiful play of light and dark. The dark background just makes the colors pop.

      The orchids are pretty, but Luxie is definitely prettier.
