My Best Photos of 2020

December 29, 2020 By: Summer Samba31 Comments

Summer shares her best photos of 2020.

2020 was kind of a challenging year for photos. I couldn’t go much of anywhere other than outside around the house, and the fashion was really bad. But my human still managed to get some really awesome photos! A couple you see here wound up in my Zazzle shop. The one above is on an invitation, and one of the others is in my calendar. I don’t know if the photos I picked are necessarily the very best, but they were all standouts among the thousands of photos my human took.

This is the one from the calendar, and it happens to be my human’s favorite photo of the bunch. Sometimes everything just comes together to create a really fun photo.

Here’s a photo that just happened. I was hanging out on the dining room table at the right time of day for some good lighting. Plus it was the linen tablecloth, and not the really busy print one. All my human had to do was grab her good camera and take photos.

There are lots of nice portraits of me from this past year, but things really came together for this one. The bougainvilleas were blooming, which added some color to what would otherwise be a mostly green background. And the late afternoon light worked well too. My human just had to snap a few pics before I got bored.

This last photo, or one of the alternates from this shoot, will most likely be in my 2022 calendar! Because I am already thinking that far ahead. But for now, I’m just looking forward to getting 2021 started.

So did you like my pics? I tried to pick ones that were a little bit unusual. Let me know what you thought in the comments.

    They are all so beautiful! I love the one you’re saving for next year’s calendar. That sweater is so pretty on you. The one with you in the pink dress is so elegant. The one with the tape measure is fun. I love the one of you on the dining room table, but my absolute favorite one is you outdoors with the background blurred. Your eyes are so green and your expression is one of absolute content!

    These were all great shots, but the last one is my favorite because of the fall theme.

    It would be very hard for me to pick a favorite of the pictures in this blog because they are all wonderful, but I can say that this is definitely one of my favorite blogs. The dress and the pearl necklace in the first picture are stunning. I do love the one with the tape measure draped over your head. Oh heck, I love them all.

    l loved all of those pics!! And sometimes the unplanned or posed ones come out the best, maybe cause they are so spontaneous??

    You are one very photogenic kitty, Summer! And I am glad I get to see you a lot:)

    Perfect pictures. That first pic was a great idea for
    invitations. All of these could be used on a calendar or
    card.

    Those are great photos Summer but I think all your photos – even the blurry ones or the blooper ones are GREAT – you are just a pretty cat and know how to “work” the camera (just as your human knows how to USE a camera!).

    Hugs, Teddy

    Oh my goodness Summer, they are all fabulous! The colors are beautiful. Mom says the best feeling is capturing a beautiful shot by accident, no planning, just there. Your mom has an eye for beauty, and a talent of capturing it. Beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful. These shots are all favorites. Purrs
