BirdSnack: Ten months ago we found a tiny kitten on our back deck wobbling around as she tried to follow one of our cats, no idea how she got there. She got bottle fed and grew up.

Ten months ago we found a tiny kitten on our back deck wobbling around as she tried to follow one of our cats, no idea how she got there. She got bottle fed and grew up. Well, kind of, she's still tiny. We call her BirdSnack because we think that is what she almost became. In this picture, ironically, she's watching the birds in bird-feeder just out of view to the left.

I like the almost silhouette lit cat image, good job.

You should clean your sensor you have a large amount of sensor spots

I love it.
My husband wants to put a bird feed out side hanging from your porch ( it will hang in front of the Front window)
. My cat will tear up the screen trying to get to the birds. So we will see if we put one up.

Nice portrait of a very pleased kitty, who looks as if she's thinking "I beat the odds!"

Hi Cassy, our cats are always all eyes - although they've been known to tear screens for the fun of it!

Thanks Richard, sometimes I think that too.

Thanks GTW - about the sensor dust... yeah. I've got a sensor cleaning kit with the swabs and all, just screwing up the guts to use it. I think I'm I'll do that tomorrow - nice and slow.

Takes about 10 seconds. Just make sure your battery is charged and do it in a area where there is little or no movement to create floating dust.

Beautifully photographed. The window lighting is lovely.

Good shot of a beautiful kitty, pfrancke! Thank you for caring for her when she was a baby!

Thank you Dixiegirl. I think I was lucky that the window lighting was a nice match to Birdie.

Thank you Clipper and sailorsmom. In some things, we just have no choice. You do what you have to do. She's wonderful.

Jack, Forgot to say thank you! I got up the nerve and cleaned the sensor yesterday. And took some pics and removed the memory card and checked out the pics and I think the sensor is much cleaner than it was.

However, this morning, I took some pics and after 15 minutes or so I realized that message "No Card" is important. It is a good trick to keep in mind, no need to delete images now.
