Whiskers

Noise and activity cannot break my concentration, but should a cat slip silently past my window, I lose my train of thought.

wonderful shot Mary, so crisp and detailed
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, derek. She is a great model that never moves.
She looks as if nothing would disturb her deep concentration, Mary. A beautiful close-up, incredible detail.
Mary MacADNski: That is how she is all the time - very easy cat to photograph. Her sister is opposite Most of her shots have a blur.

Fine portrait Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, zed.
Great portrait Mary !
Mary MacADNski: Thanks so much. She sits without moving for long periods of time so is easy to shoot.
Beautiful portrait, and I know what you meantongue
Mary MacADNski: The truth is a snake will do that to me as well. I even know when they are near.

les souris n'ont qu'a bien se tenir !
Mary MacADNski: Je voudrais que cela soit vrai. Ils sont inutiles avec la souris.

Just like a cat on a hot tin roof.

I read somewhere that you have grandchildren? Amazing. It is just that for some stupid reason I don't form those associations and then I saw it smile Silly me.
Mary MacADNski: Of course I don't look like I have grandchildren. LOL

Masterful portrait, Mary.

She's a beauty!
Mary MacADNski: She's my favorite but I wouldn't type that while her sister was in the room.
Perfect portrait Marysmile
Mary MacADNski: She's the perfect cat and poses like a pro.

Lovely shot - I like the clarity in the eye and the reflection. Wonderful
Mary MacADNski: Thanks very much, Brian.
I'm not a cat lover at all Mary but will admit this is a fine shot of a lovely animal.
Mary MacADNski: I appreciate that, Brian.
It's cat on duty mode. Lovely shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, cornishmaid. She knows how to pose.
Great shot, Mary - puss is very intent on something!
Mary MacADNski: That is her natural thing. She sits like a statue for 3 or 4 minutes, turns her head slightly then doesn't move again for 3 or 4 minutes and on and on and on. Doesn't move a muscle.

I can understand why, Mary; they deserve our attention and we mustn't let work get in the way! What a lovely sight.
Mary MacADNski: She sits on my knee or lies in my arms most of the time I am on the computer. No fear of getting work done while cats are around.
this is worthy of publication... love the little smile...
Mary MacADNski: Kenz is a natural poser so it's easy to get shots of her.
Giving us your company throughout all history. I was surprised to see in the British Museum in London, the mummies of cats accompanying their owners.
Mary MacADNski: Creo que son dignos de su historia real. Amo a mis dos gatos de mucho.
Wonderful portrait Mary!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard.
This macro is very spectacular, a little more and go through the cat smile! The sharpness is very impressive!
Mary MacADNski: Ha ha! Thanks, Armando. She poses wonderfully.

Great photo! H.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks so much, Harry. My great model was a big help.
Gran primer plano! Parece un felino de los grandes, como un tigre.
Saludos.
Mary MacADNski: Este tigre vive conmigo y es un modelo magnífico.
