It\u2019s not always easy to capture a mood or a personality when photographing cats, but I thought I did so with this picture. She was peering at me from under a coffee table and I happened to have my camera ready. Stunning, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>This is one of my all time favorite shots of <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/smokeybee-0141-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"smokeybee-0141\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/smokeybee-0141-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/smokeybee-0141-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>my mother\u2019s cat, Smokey. I tell people he actually choreographed this picture. I was focusing on his face as he peered through a flower bush. When I took the picture, he leaped at a bee and this is the result. It won a People\u2019s Choice First Award at our county fair a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing quite as fun to photograph as a kitten. I practically wore out my camera when Lily was a kitten. And when I hear that someone has a kitten, I&#8217;m quick to visit&#8211;with my camera, of course. In fact, I think I&#8217;ll devote a blog post to kitten photography soon. In the meantime, here&#8217;s one of Lily&#8217;s baby pictures. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-286\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/lillymothersday2009-007-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"lillymothersday2009-007\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/lillymothersday2009-007-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/lillymothersday2009-007-499x348.jpg 499w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/lillymothersday2009-007.jpg 1790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Don&#8217;t you just want to tickle that tummy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love cats and I love photography.
