Late last week we were wrapping up the photos for our next print newsletter. Our friend Cindy J. was taking the photos of the two of us for the "ranch letter" we write for each issue. Now, this is always the hardest photo to get because we include an animal in it. Not only is it difficult enough getting the animal to look at the camera, you have to get both people looking "just right" at that one particular moment when the animal is deciding to cooperate. And yes, cats are less likely to cooperate than dogs!
This is why it generally takes, oh, on average 60 to 80 shots to get the one I like. (I'm fussy in the photo department.) In this case, with Alayne and me and Tibby the cat, Cindy shot 73 photos before I finally said "I'm sure we've got something there." For some reason I could hear an audible sigh of relief from Alayne, Cindy and Tibby, all at the same time. (What's up with that?)
Once I uploaded all the photos to the Mac, I saw this image above where Tibby is definitely letting us know she'd rather be back in the cat house. Actually, she was pretty good for most of the photo shoot, but occasionally she'd let us know she had other plans for her morning. (Click on photo for larger version.)
We're combining the spring and summer newsletters into one edition to save money on printing and postage. It should go to the printer later this week and be in the mail in early May. This photo will not be the one you see in the newsletter!

One note on yesterday's blog post: Some folks thought they saw clouds in the water. Nope, that was ice still to be melted.
