Playing With The Cat And A Band

Dennis

I took the photo above while playing with my cat. She did swipe this band from one of my shorts that was laying on my bed. I would need to thread this band back into the shorts with a needle but decided to use the band to play with my cat. I mean, she seems to like this band, otherwise she wouldn´t have stolen it. We played a lot until she got tired to sleep away on the jacket that was laying on my bed as well. Seems to be cozy there 🙂 Continue reading Playing With The Cat And A Band

Daily Prompt: Great Expectations

Dennis

Today the Daily Prompt asks “Tell us about one thing (or more) that you promised yourself you’d accomplish by the end of the year. How would you feel once you do? What if you don’t?” and I really can relate to this question. After tons of photos that I took with my point and shoot camera or smartphone, I really would say that I am interested in taking photos. While I do think that you can get great results on this way, I also found out the limitations of the hardware. I have the idea in my mind to buy … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Great Expectations

Daily Prompt: Unexpected Guests

Dennis

Today the Daily Prompt asks: “You walk into your home to find a couple you don’t know sitting in your living room, eating a slice of cake. Tell us what happens next?”. Instead of answering the question, I can really tell a story about unexpected guests. It´s a long time ago and I am talking about a time when me and my friends were round about 20 years old. Another friend did invite us but we arrived too early and he was still not at home. I am not sure why we did that but a friend said “Look! The … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Unexpected Guests

The Problem With The Twenty Ten Theme…

Dennis

I realized already some time ago that the Twenty Ten Theme comes with a major problem if you upload a lot of photos or if you use a lot of photos on your blog. It´s about tag and category pages. Let´s take for example the tag Shyna on my blog. If you click this link to the tag page of my cat, you will indeed find all my posts that are related to my cat. But the problem is that you will only see text excerpts which is totally ok, but some themes would show text excerpts and the first … Continue reading The Problem With The Twenty Ten Theme…

Ant Power And Teamwork

Dennis

I shot the photo above some weeks ago when I was in Salem to have a barbecue. I found many ants there and really liked it, when I saw an ant that carried another one. The autofocus of my point and shoot camera does not always work very well. In this case, the ants did always run out of the focus, which resulted in a very blurry photo. I did add an amount of sharpening with Adobe Lightroom to fix this a little bit at least. What I love about ants is that they are team players and they have … Continue reading Ant Power And Teamwork
