Bad Kitten Photos
Two things you should know about me:
1. I am not good at taking pictures.
2. I am crappy at focusing pictures.
At first blush, you'd think that the two are part and parcel of the same thing, but, they really are two separate issues. The first is a composition problem, the second is a visual problem. I can't seem to get the right things to focus. Believe it or not, I do better with an SLR where I'm focusing, cuz then I can make sure to focus on the subject, but with autofocus, it's anyone's guess as to what I'll actually get to come out clearly.
So with that disclaimer, I will share with you a few of the first pix of the kittens.
Oh, and as further disclaimer, Chuck has the digital camera with the autoflash with him in Bumfuck, Montana, and since the kittens are in the back of the closet I had to make do with a flashlight for a light source.
This is Nina. (Think Pinta and Santa Maria.) She's the most adventurous of the litter.
This is Wanda. My finger is there to give you a little perspective on just how tiny these babies are.
This is a slightly better picture of Wanda:
Alas Professor Cosmo Mewsalot was in the back corner fast asleep, so no pix of him yet.
All I can say, is thank goodness we didn't get some of those not cute kittens you hear so much about these days.
Oh, and by way of an update, Sparkle and the babies have been happily living in the bottom of my closet all week. She is extremely devoted to them and patient with them. Zoe has stopped "organizing" them. All seems right in the pet world.
Enjoy.
