Goldie in the window

I made a quick stop during my walk this morning and photographed my neighbor's cat Goldie as she looked at me through a dirty and rain-speckled window. The cat's orange, but I turned the shot into a soft black and white image which I think is more flattering to her. I was tempted to clone out each and every water spot on the window glass, but figured no, I actually DO have a life, and left them all in. Cute cat. This afternoon she helped us install a new bird feeder that Chris made. ©Carol Leigh

Goldie

I was experimenting with taking pictures without looking through the viewfinder. My neighbor's cat Goldie came along and so I just pointed and clicked. Definitely not the sort of photo I would have ordinarily taken, but I find it appealing nevertheless. ©Carol Leigh
