Originally posted by ashurbanipal My condolences. Thank you for sharing these pictures and the story of Velcro, I enjoyed them very much. It's a wonderful idea to create a collection of images like this. As the owner of a cat who's now in his "senior years" I will keep this in mind for the inevitable time when the pictures I've taken over the years are all we have left.
Thank you for your condolences.
I really thought this task was going to be trivial. since I classify photographs as I take them, I thought "all I have to do is to take a representative photo from each year" - but then I realized "Velcro" photographs were spread across several places {I have one folder for home, one folder - separate from 'home' - for the felines, etc},
and, by deciding to take one for each year I had to make sure that certain iconic poses {such as Velcro lying next to the 'cow' on the hanging, and her lying on that red tree 'skirt' which she loved so much} did show up. Anyway, it was a bigger chore than I had expected, but I did want to finish it today so I could put it up on the cloud and send links to our daughters who are now living independently. But it got done!
