This week's subject is a trip through the Archives, to find photos on a number of themes. We were given the instruction to choose as many as 10 different themes, and find a photo that expresses it. Boy, that was a hard choice, as there were so many good ones to choose from. For my …

It is so much fun, deciding which color photos to edit and make black-and-white. I have a black cat, so I decided to start with a picture of her. It's not easy to photograph a black cat, since all their features tend to disappear. What do you think? That's not a defect-on the left side …

My first thought upon seeing this week's topic was "I rarely photograph people, so I don't have many faces". However, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that there are a pair of quite striking eyes right in our own house. They belong to our black cat. This photo deserves a caption. Can you suggest …

Last year at this time, the temperature was over 100F here in Western Washington. This is how our black cat dealt with the extreme heat. We are fortunate not to be covered in a thick layer of black fur. Right now, in Everett at just after noon, it is 65F, cooler by far, but expected …
Amid all the chaos surrounding us this year, it's always a good idea to find places and things that are serene. In the comic strip "Rose is Rose", Rose Gumbo has her "Let Things Be Tree", where she goes when the family is making her crazy. I don't have a particular tree where I go …

I understand that it's both National Cat Day, and the weekend of Halloween. So I decided to celebrate both holidays with pictures of our Halloween Black Cat, Kikyo. She is around 12 years old now, which makes her a Senior cat (to go with her Senior Staff, myself and Hubby). Here are some pictures of …

Around our house, even the "owner", Kikyo the black cat, gets her own Christmas treats. She has a box where we store her toys, so if she wants to play with one, she has to work to get it out of the box. It's pretty simple, just a flat square with holes in the top …
It turns out that one of my favorite Subjects for picture-taking is my black cat, Kikyo. She follows me everywhere around the house, so I can take her picture in all sorts of situations. However, isn't it true that it is very tricky to photograph a black cat (see what I did there? Happy Halloween!)? …
