What happens when you try to photograph a lunar eclipse without a tripod:

It looks like a Cheeto! There are two more photos here and here.

Heart-shaped Joey:

Jeter hides from the vacuum:

He usually hides under the bed, but the bedroom door was closed and he panicked. He was up there for hours, just to make sure it was safe!

Jeter hides from the world:

I caught Jeter in a similar pose in my first Weekly Winners entry. He does this all the time!

Last year, I wrote about how Jeter cat likes to cause a ruckus in the mornings, usually on weekends when we try to sleep in.

Sure, I can feed him and go back to sleep, but it’s nice to stay snug in bed!

Lately, he’s been poking around before I get up to run on Saturdays. It is always still earlier than his normal breakfast time.

And sometimes, he gets into trouble during the week. A week or so ago, I was awake, already in the shower. My husband was trying to catch a few more minutes of sleep.

When I got out of the shower, this is what I found:

The hair bands came out of this basket, where he would have had to dig for them. I try to hide them under things to prevent the above from happening, but obviously the only solution is to stop putting them in the basket.

Of course, then he’ll figure out a new way to be a nuisance!

on vacation …

No, not me.

My boss is in Jamaica this week, which means people will be bothering me in his absence. At least it’s a short week.

But I have booked a beach house for our summer vacation!

I think this summer will be our 10th trip down to Hatteras Island. We’re going at the end of July. I found a house that looks fantastic … it’s always best to book early before the good ones are gone. Here are some highlights from last year, and one of my favorite pictures from our 2006 trip.

I’m also starting to plan a spring vacation to a Caribbean destination. It’s looking like the best time to go is in April, so I’ve got to get moving!

Ah, I’ve done last-minute deals plenty of times. I know we’ll figure something out!

i can’t believe this is my first post since the last weekly winners

This week just got away from me!

We’ve got cats (as usual) and a few other random shots this week for Lotus‘ Weekly Winners.

The last drop

Winter sun

for Superhero Photo Challenge: Shoot into the sun

Still alive

Probably a weed … possibly really stubborn flowers! Found in one of my planters.

Up to no good

I looked into the kitchen, and three cats were staring at me! Meadow (the stray that lives in our yard) is often found peeking in the window. She and Posey like to play through the glass.
