These are photos from the weekend with Junior. I meant to post these on Sunday along with a weekend walk report (now scrubbed for lack of content) but time got the better of me and I was also engaged in kitty therapy on the live interactive front. Junior has become much more comfortable with me over our playtime together with just a few sessions using the feather toy (thank you, Docken for the toy and thank you for encouraging my engaging in the activity).

Holding a DSLR with a 70-300mm lens in my right hand and maneuvering the "fishing pole" feather toy with my left hand proved challenging at first but I eventually was able to acquire a satisfactory technique. Thank goodness for autofocus and forget about many changes on the zoom.

Sunday, June 6th. 

 And because I took so long, here are images from Monday, June 8th. I'm trying to control myself but across two AM sessions with Junior I took 323 photos. 

 PS, the silver and orange device in the background of some images is my Little Giant (but freakin heavy) ladder. I am "supposed" to be pruning the 16'+ tall ficus trees surrounding my patio but ya know... kitty therapy comes first. 

As an added bonus, here's what I deal with around (often well before) sunrise every morning, the kitty trifecta. The triangular placement of food dishes is calculated and remember all of these cats are feral, they are not particularly inclined to my being in close proximity. Arms length (30") is about the best I can get. This picture was taken on Sunday, July 6th at 5:49 AM.

 MEOW!
