The other cat

 We are a two cat household. The second cat is Smudge. Like Marvel she is  a rescue cat. She is black with white patches and paws.

Sadly poor Marvel is not well and I fear we will lose her soon which will be very sad as she is a beautiful cat and she has been a great friend over the past three years. 

Then the question will be "do we replace her or revert to a one cat household?" Time will tell. Meanwhile every day with Marvel is a bonus.

Photo taken on the Lumix S5 with the 70-200mm f2.8 lens. Focussing on a black cat is challenging.The trick is to focus on the whiskers. RAW file converted to monochrome with Silver EFX Pro 2.

Path to the beach

 Path to the beach at 2.20 pm on a beautiful Christmas Day yesterday. The beach is deserted-everyone enjoying their lunch or a post lunch snooze maybe. Photo taken on my iphone as we were on our way home from our Christmas lunch.

Christmas Eve

My Christmas photo-beautiful Marvel taking in the sunshine in the garden this morning. She is doing well although she really dislikes taking her twice daily meds which are so important for her.

Seasons Greetings to the blogs followers. 

Photo taken with my Leica X Vario-the ideal cat camera.

The storm

 A storm in Terrigal taken some years ago on my Leica X1 and undiscovered until today. It would not be possible to take this shot today as the undercliff board walk goes over these rocks.  I should not compain as I walk on it nearly everyday and it is convenient but it did change the seascape.
