A Stray Cat In The Garden


Today I attempted to take a photo of a black cat that sat there on a small path in the gardens. But this cat didn’t give me much time to take photos and disappeared in the hedge. There was a woman in one of the gardens and saw my attempt. I wondered if it would be her cat and I said: “I tried to get a photo, this cat is pretty shy”. She replied that this is true and that it’s not her cat. She mentioned that this is a stray cat but it comes for a visit once in … Continue reading A Stray Cat In The Garden

Keep Your Distance Human


Today I challenged myself again to take new cat photos. The garden areas are great for that. I already tried the same yesterday and I got a really nice close-up photo of a beautiful ginger cat.

A week ago I got a Euro coin back as change money and didn’t notice it right away, but at home I had to laugh when I realized someone attempted to stamp out the United Kingdom from the coin.

Sadly the image was pretty blurry, but it was less apparent with different black and white presets, which is why I decided to use one. It’s not one of the greatest photos, but I also don’t like to delete my cat photos as these are memories too. But you definitely can find better photos of Shyna on my blog.
