Moggie Madness

I got myself a camera as a birthday present a few years ago - it coincided with a research project for my undergrad degree so I felt the expense was easily justified. Little was I to know that the model I got (a silver Panasonic Lumix) was about to get a revamp - more compact but with the same functionality - and be cut in price by half in little under a year. Nevermind, you win some, you lose some.

Anyway, it occurred to me recently that reading the instructional manual may be somewhat beneficial if I wanted to get some half decent shots. Lo and behold, the camera has a macro function! Who would have thought that was what the little flower icon meant? So I have been playing around with the macro function to see whether it actually makes any difference.

So I took a closeup shot of Rosie’s paw, she was most obliging and actually stayed still and didn’t try to claw the lens. Ironically, that is also the paw that goes tap, tap, tap on my nose in the middle of the night when she wants something. She curls herself around my head on top of the pillow, waits for the slightest little movement of my eyelids to signify I’m in a light sleep and taps me ever so gently on the nose.

It can get annoying but I prefer her method to Mojo’s - if he wants something, he will simply howl. Failing that, he will claw my toe - having found that is one of my more sensitive spots.
