After a busy week's recorder course I've had a lazy day today, catching up on the odd TV programme I'd missed and visiting friends' posts on Photoblog.  I tried to take a couple of shots of Lucy as she scampered around the garden this morning but she wouldn't stay still for long enough so I gave up trying but left my camera out in case she decided to sit still for me later.  As Kevin and I had a mid-morning coffee Lucy came into the living room and jumped up on the arm of her favourite chair to observe our back garden.  My camera was sitting beside me on the sofa so I grabbed it and she looked straight into the lens as I took my first shot - what an obliging cat!

Great shot! Some scary eyes. Lsample · 2012-07-21: 21:37

Lucy is fantastic: she knew for what you waited after a tiring time. She struck the pose in a way that the sun plays with its coat. Wonderful result :)) josy63 · 2012-07-22: 00:36

Aaah, you can always eventually rely on Lucy for a good photograph... what a poser! Annbramwell · 2012-07-22: 02:52
