In the first photo, I think Jasper and Andie look like they've killed something and are cleaning up afterward. The second is one of my favourites of Andie. I made it into a greeting card and have been selling it (and a few other designs) as a fundraiser for an animal shelter.

Nice captures, like the double tongue action and the overhead shot is really good ... TFS, J

Lilliana looks a bit like venus, the chimera cat

Yes. He is chasing those with great enthusiasm. He looks a bit annoyed because those bubbles he can't catch are flying over a lake and he does not like swimming.

But he likes to drink from a lake (or any pond/puddle in forest) more than from a bowl filled with tap water.

Thanks for your reply and saw the Tair-3S tag ... do you like yours? I have yet to get my out for the coming warm weather season (i.e. Spring) ... J

I'm waiting spring time too. Mine needs some cleaning. Front lens maybe has some fungus or dust. I have taken it to parts one time and adjusted focusing distance so that I could use it to astrophotography also. I've made an electronic trigger so that I could use the gun stock for birding. Just a prototype that needs some fixing. Only problem for me is focusing. It is hard for some reason and I have come to conclusion that there is some error at distance of focusing screen to image sensor in my camera.

But because this is a pet thread..

Not strictly a pet as these are free flying, but never the less pretty friendly when landed on this lassie in the restaurant.

Nice bird! Also the parrot.

Wesley went down a slide for the first time today.

A lowland coo spotted in Edinburgh.

Should that not "captured", let go at your peril, great shot.

Going through some oldies ... a cat nap here ... and there.

It's in their contract, you know. 20 hours of nap time daily, interspersed with as many feedings as possible. And catnip at least once a day
