Posing Out Front and Getting Distracted

May 13, 2022 By: Summer Samba18 Comments

Summer had a photo session out front and kept getting distracted by things happening on her street. Here's how her human got her attention back.

You probably can’t tell from these photos, but my human is using a new camera. It’s actually a couple of years old, but she was dragging her feet setting it up. Then her old, abused, falling apart camera finally started doing crazy things and she had to ditch it. Since we were in the middle of a TikTok video (that went up yesterday), she was forced to pull out the new camera and get it working. It’s actually the same type of camera as the old one, only a newer model. Which is why you probably can’t tell much of a difference. The photos are a teensy bit better, as is the sound for video. But that’s about it.

Anyhow, she used the opportunity to take some photos of me out front. And since it was almost early evening, the light was perfect for some nice shots.

I can’t say for sure, but I really do think this camera may take slightly higher quality photos.

But it wasn’t all easy getting nice photos of me!

You may think I was making airplane ears in this photo, but you’d be wrong. I was making helicopter ears… because it was a helicopter flying by that caused this expression.

Then the postal carrier drove by, and right after that, the Amazon delivery truck! It was very distracting, and sometimes the bigger or louder vehicles make me a little nervous. So every time there was some sort of distraction, I got extra treats. That’s kind of a fun concept, getting rewards for posing outside while trucks drive by! I could have sat there for longer than we did. My human usually makes every effort to show me that I’m safe.

    Well, we think the street should be blocked block off when you’re out enjoying the late day, Summer!

      (Of course we didn’t mean blocked block. Moms and their feeble typing skills.)

    Wow, Summer, those new-camera pictures are amazing! The camera sure does love you as do you love to embrace it too!
    Us pups are easily distracted by all kinds of things…our trouble right now is all the gnats and other flying bugs that seem to enjoy our company way more than we do…thew joys of living in a rural setting = bugs galore!

    So many stimulating things outside for a kitty.
    Even the smell of the grass must be a distraction for
    you. Looked like a perfect time of day,

    Really good pics Summer, in spite of the truck grabbing your attention.
    We’re cats and we’re curious 😉

    You received a delivery once, when you were out in front…so no wonder you were looking at the trucks.

    Anything that involves lots of treats is worth the effort, even if it is a noisy truck!

    We like the shots with the new camera!

    Purrs,
