Playful

This photo was a special request, and taking photos of cats with an iPhone is not an easy matter. The camera has a wide angle lens, so one has to get pretty close, and when one does, the animal inevitably gets curious and comes too close. In this case, I moved the branch by the cat’s nose around with my left hand; that kept the feline’s attention. In my right hand, I held the iPhone close to the ground and (barely) managed to press the shutter release by wrapping one finger around the edge of the device. Phew! Of course, what was requested was a photograph of a particular cat, “Jambon”, but I haven’t seen that one around, so this substitute will have to do. Actually, she’s a bit of a ham herself and so without further ado, and in honor of the requester, I hereby name this lovely cat “Hamelia” (you may now groan).
