weekly winners


November 30 – December 6, 2008

Joey can be difficult to photograph. He usually runs to me as soon as he sees me. So I approached with caution when I saw him lounging in the kitchen:

He turned his head, and I managed to snap a shot before he got up.

I should probably clean that window one of these days. Kitty nose prints!

Posey is usually a well-behaved model for me.

Jeter was not cooperating this week, so no new photos of him. But I’m sure he’ll be back soon!

The next shot is from the Vienna Teng show Thursday night. Our table was right next to the sound booth. and I liked the way it was lit. I can’t believe anybody can learn what all those knobs do!

weekly winners: thanksgiving edition


November 23-29, 2008

Turkey Chase

On Thanksgiving morning, I ran the Turkey Chase 10K. They offer a 10K race and a 5K run/walk. But before we got running, there was a mascot race. The Turkey was challenged by various restaurant and school team mascots in a short race.

I thought the Turkey would be a sure-thing to win, it being Thanksgiving and all. He was the defending champion from last year.

But it wasn’t meant to be.

No, they didn’t run a 5K! They just borrowed the finish line.

After I got home, I showered and started cooking!

Even before her turkey feast, Meadow was getting into the Thanksgiving spirit.

Jeter also found a sunny spot.

We got a dusting of snow on Friday night, and a little bit was still around Saturday morning.

Finally, the sky was really interesting one night as I was leaving work.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any place to put the camera for a clearer shot … other than the roof of the car!

weekly winners: jeter has a rough day


November 9-15, 2008

Jeter has it rough this time of the year.

Cat owners probably know the quivering chirp that kitties are known to do when something is disturbing them, like a bug on the ceiling.

We have lots of windows, and Jeter gets agitated when the leaves start blowing around. He gets twitchy and chirpy on those blustery fall days. He will sit by the window and follow the movement outside.

(This one’s not technically a “winner,” but I think it’s funny how his rapidly-swinging tail is just a blur!)

By night, those leaves don’t bother him anymore. He and Joey were both giving me weird looks when I disturbed their nap for a photo shoot!

I think this is the only shot where Jeter wasn’t either yawning or licking his paws.
