#Caturday: The Week in Photos
I take a lot of photos of my cats. Here are a few of my favorites from this week:
#Caturday: The Week in Cat Photos
I’ve written about the challenges of taking photos of cats before. The challenge doesn’t stop me, of course. My phone is mostly full of cat photos. Here are some I liked from this past week:
Stray Cat: Slice of Life #sol20
A stray cat has taken up residence in our garage. This isn’t an unexpected occurrence: our neighborhood has a fair number of strays and ferals, and to help them through winter, we have a feral cat winter shelter station set up in the garage. And it probably surprises exactly none of my regular blog readers…
7 Things About Oliver: Slice of Life 7/31 #sol20
His tail has a life of its own. He has a long skinny pencil of a tail that puffs magnificently when he gets himself wound up–which is several times every day. He has small poof, medium poof, and large poof levels, and usually displays all three within the same play time. He even does a…
Sometimes I Take Photos of Other People’s Cats: Slice of Life 3/31 #sol20
There are 4,500 photos of cats on my phone. Literally. They are mostly my cats, of course, and I take photos of them when the light is good or when they are doing something funny or when they are in a place I don’t expect them to be or when they’re snuggling together just too…
Possibilities: A Quickwrite Slice of Life #sol19
Back to school means back to more intentional work in my writer’s notebook. I’ve been sharing two or three different poems a day and writing alongside them with my students. Wislawa Szymborska’s “Possibilities” has been one particularly rich text to write beside. I’ve gotten the seeds for several possible pieces from this poem. But this…
Just Because Slices: Slice of Life #sol19
This morning, I’m inspired by Terje’s celebration of her 1000th blog post and her suggestion to try “just because” slices: How about instead of deep thoughts and wise words, without looking for hidden meanings, we simply celebrate the slices of life as they are, the small and the big, the ordinary and the special, the…
Three Things I Want More Of Right Now: Slice of Life #sol19
More rain. A couple of cloudy days have reminded me how much I love a rainy day. There are many beautiful things about the place I live, and I know for many people, so many sunny days would be very appealing. But I like rain, and there isn’t much of it here. Only 18 inches…
Magnet Poetry: Playing with Poetry #playingwithpoetryNPM 30/30 #sol19
This month, I’m tagging along with Christie, Margaret, Jone, Mary Lee, and other writers to play with poetry for National Poetry Writing Month. I’ll be creating poems using haikubes, metaphor dice, magnet poetry, paint chips and anything else that catches my fancy. I’m always sad when the end of March comes around, and it’s time to stop the daily slice. But…
Magnet Poetry: Playing with Poetry #playingwithpoetryNPM 23/30 #sol19
This month, I’m tagging along with Christie, Margaret, Jone, Mary Lee, and other writers to play with poetry for National Poetry Writing Month. I’ll be creating poems using haikubes, metaphor dice, magnet poetry, paint chips and anything else that catches my fancy. I liked my Poetry Mega Set Word Magnets so much that I decided to order two more kits: Cat…
