Photo of the day: Suspicious Kitty

On February 7, 2013February 7, 2013 By LindyIn photography3 Comments

This little kitty was watching me very apprehensively as I approached my apartment stairs a couple of days ago. Unfortunately it was getting dark and I only had a moment to snap the photo before he took off, so it’s a bit grainy.

Photo of the Day: Hide and Seek

Today’s photo is my favorite subject – my cat, Esme!

Project 52 Week 46: Family of Pets

On November 25, 2012 By LindyIn family, photography1 Comment

Like many of you, I’ve had a lot of family time over the last few days. Tomorrow is the start of something I’m incredibly thankful for: the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Haiti. Until I return with some [hopefully] moving stories and photos, here are some shots of family pets I took at Thanksgiving.

My in-laws’ cat Buddy wanted to be the centerpiece (and center of attention) on the dining room table.

Katie (and Kendell, not shown) had a great time frolicking outside.

Big surprise, my cat Esme also thinks she owns the place.

Project 52 Week 33: Miles-Smiles

On August 27, 2012 By LindyIn photography3 Comments

My second-favorite cat, behind my beloved Esme, is my sister’s cat Miles. I like to call him Miles-Smiles. What I love about him is that he just sits and stares at you while you snap his photo; he isn’t a blur like Esme. (But I guess he is about 12 years older than her.) Should I have posted a more traditional head-on shot, or do you like this unique crop?

My sister’s cat, know (by me) as Miles-Smiles, tries his best to ignore the camera just inches from his face.

Project 52 Weeks 14-15: Easter Extravaganza

On April 10, 2012April 10, 2012 By LindyIn photography2 Comments

I told myself I would only post ONE photo per week for my Project 52 this year. But I just can’t help it. We were so busy spending time with my family and my in-laws, that I want to share a piece of that with you. So here’s a glimpse of our very busy Easter weekend. Which photo is your favorite?

As I was packing for the weekend, my cat Esme climbed into my drawer and made herself comfortable on top of my sports bras.

Mom broke out the china dishes for Easter this year ... and got creative with the food.

We looked at some old slides from a trip my mom took when she was about 12 years old. We're taking the same trip this summer. Can you tell where this is?

More nostalgia ... my nephew plays with some antique box cars.

Project 52 Week 7: Cheap Entertainment

On February 19, 2012 By LindyIn photography2 Comments

My cat Esme’s new favorite toy is a milk ring. She will play fetch with it over, and over, and over. And over again. She also loves to hide it under rugs and dig it back out. Eventually she chews it up, but once the milk’s gone, she always has a new free toy! Cheap entertainment for her – and for us.

Day 332: Light Catcher

It’s typically dark by the time I leave the gym and head home. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling well, so I went straight home after work. The sun was all ready approaching the horizon and was hitting my rear view mirror ornament just perfectly. I love the golden hours just after sunrise and just before sunset.

Day 326: Seven Days of Thankfulness (Day 2)

On November 23, 2011November 23, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I am so grateful for my little immediate family: my husband and my cat. My cat Esme is sweet, loving, and playful. My husband Jerod is sweet, loving, and playful too … and so much more. He forgives me every time I mess up, and he loves me even when I may not deserve it. I’m a lucky lady.

Esme rests on my husband's lap, eager for some love and attention.

Day 293: The dreaded day has come

On October 20, 2011 By LindyIn photography

The day has come [and gone] to start packing for our move in a couple of weeks. As you can see, I’ve done a great job of collecting boxes, but I’m not so great at filling them. Our cat is enjoying this a lot more than we are.
