Weather Change

Yesterday, our beautiful sunshine morning turned into a wind gale.  I missed the still, warm window for taking kitten pictures!  Today, Lydia teased that we better get outside today before the weather changes.  Blue sky, dry leaves, golden sun rays, no clouds in sight.

And then before these babies returned to the barn, this happened!

Afternoon Beauty

October Kitten Shoot

Took advantage of some Saturday morning sunshine to take pictures of 8 week old kittens.  Susanna and Oliver's last litter of the year.  Kittens are not the easiest subjects, but ended up being fun after all.

(pussy) Willow is sitting pretty for the camera.
