\"\"I\u2019ve featured Susan Colla\u2019s animal art here before. I think her pencil drawings of animals\u2014in particular cats\u2014are phenomenal. So much so that I bought one of her originals. Susan seems to know and understand the big cats from the inside out\u2014otherwise, how could she capture them so perfectly?<\/p>\n

Susan does with her pencil what some of us can\u2019t even \"\"manage with a camera. But a camera doesn\u2019t always capture the essence of a cat. You might see it there as you snap the picture. However, when you look at the result of your photography, that element is missing. When you look into your precious kitty\u2019s eyes, you may feel as though you\u2019re seeing her personality or maybe even into her soul. But most pictures you take of her don\u2019t quite capture that.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, you pick up your phone or camera often throughout the day and snap a picture of your cat doing something cute or comical. And most often you miss the shot you really wanted because the cat walks off or the picture just doesn\u2019t appear as you envisioned it.<\/p>\n

\"\"A couple of nights ago I picked up my phone camera and shot these photos of our cats. This is Sophie showing her glamorous side. I think this is one of the best shots I\u2019ve taken of Sophie (the tortie). Then I noticed Lily making a shadow. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever snapped a picture of Lily and her shadow before\u2014couldn\u2019t resist and I liked the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy my efforts as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
