Periodically, gmail quirks refuse to allow photos to be received from my smartphone. It is frustrating, makes me sad because that’s how I update this blog. (I’ll never use that feature of my smartphone to modify a photo with googly eyes, whatever, again. I promise!)
After lots of futzing around, the damn, erm, dam broke. These photos of Andy checking for bunnies or fellow cats in the night outside the apartment looked better in b&w, so that’s what you get today.
That and this Andy headshot without the googly eyes.
Andy looks like he doesn’t think the B&W do him justice but I think they’re perfect.

LOL! Maybe I should post the original photo so people can see just what ugly color that particular artificial light gives to his coat.
Black and whites are more expressive, especially when the subject is a gorgeous black cat. The close up is fantastic!
The kitty boys are naturals! Thanks, Dolly.
All black cats are natural photo models, but The Adorables are on top.
I appreciate that! Of course, I have the benefit of being retired and naturally observant of wildlife by habit. Domestic cats are a cinch to observe and photograph compared with wild birds, and I enjoy sharing my two with people all over the world, as it turns out.
Your growing audience is a definite proof of your skills, as well as The Adorables’ popularity.
Andy has a very pensive expression in his portrait. Nice capture.
Thanks! They are fun to try to photograph since they are pretty cats.
Andy’s portrait is great.
Thanks! I thought the b&w version was a good improvement over the color, which had a weird color cast I wasn’t able to edit away.
The B&W photos are great, Doug!
It’s a nice change, I think. Thanks, Lavinia! Hope your spring yard work and plantings are going well. I look forward to the quarterly update!
There is not enough of me or Rick to go around… 🙂
I can imagine not! Just two cats demand a lot of my attention.
we love the b&w photos!!!!
I should use them more often. The kitty boys’ fur color never photographs well in artificial light, the most frequent lighting source I have.
