Maxine loves to sit in the sun and look out into the garden. The contrast of light and shadow is fascinating to me.

This Saturday’s theme is SHADOW(S).

I missed last week so have chosen the obvious for this week’s theme. The interplay of light and shadow with pictures of Maxine and of the late, but never forgotten Trixie-Belle.

Trixie had many poses in the shadows of the garden. In some places she crouched in a leopard pose. Among the hostas, she would be flat and spread out like a pancake. That’s where she cooled herself when it was a hot day. Sure do miss that little girl Trixie-Belle. She was a headstrong cat who always cast a long shadow no matter where she was.

Maxine lounging in the sun looking at the garden. She casts a big shadow for such a little girl.

You could swear that Maxine understands every word you say to her. She's a natural ham for the camera as well.

Trixie Belle used to sit in the garden among the plants. She loved the shadowy shaded areas the best.

    You take beautiful photos of your pet. I’m so sorry about Trixie: I think I see how she could be a handful of cattitude. But those are the best cats, aren’t they.

    Have a great day.

    Sorry for the loss, Trixie does look like the kind of cat that would cast a long shadow. I was going to use one of my dog but whenever I get close to her with the camera she would walk away as if she knew that I was going to use her.

    THe first one is a great shadowy one.

    Our dog is very old and I’m dreading the day he goes. Pets play such an important part in our lives don’t they?
