A Winter Afternoon With Summer

December 12, 2018 By: Summer Samba57 Comments

somali cat on dining table on a winter afternoon

My human wanted to take me outside for some photos but she had errands to run and it got too late. It was too cold, and the sun was almost down. But that didn’t stop her from putting me on the dining room table for a few photos.

The sun was setting fast, but she managed to get a few close ups with the light shining through my ear.

When I faced the other way, I got more direct sunlight. I also got photo bombed by Boodie.

This photo is my favorite — it looks like I am being kissed by sun rays!

    I love your sunbeam picture, I ever get those right. You are like our Dot, a natural for the lovely ear pictures.

    I need to tell your Mom, I took a halfway decent picture of a tortie recently wooHOO and not inky black. One major achievement!

    Yes, you do look angelic. That last one is a favorite for me too.
    You should save that last one – it should be used in a publication.
    The sun rays shining onto you are very good and both ears seem to
    be touched by the rays.

    We really like all of these photographs and the light works so well with your colouring. Have you thought of being a lead chorister, per chance– a red cassock and white surplice would look every so sweet on you…
