Today I wasn't sure if I was going to have time to post anything. I've been gone almost all day today (shopping, MRI, work, and then more errands). The MRI was nothing like on House or Grey's Anatomy, its loud and cramped and noisy and towards the end you feel like the board you're on is moving (or at least that's how I felt). And of course, I had a migraine before the MRI, did I mention that it was really loud? I think you get the picture. But hopefully, the images will be clean and then it'll just be something that's over and done with.
I was able to have a few brief moments at home (okay so it was probably like an hour and a half). During these moments I found myself outside with my camera in my hand taking pictures of my kitty, Dante. My instagram feed is full of pictures of my puppy dog, but my cat somewhat gets ignored because I can't get close enough with my iPhone to take a good picture of him without the dog running him off or trying to get in between Dante and me so that he (Jack) get all of the attention instead of Dante.
So today, while I was taking pictures I thought up this profound blog idea about the details in life. I tried to specifically focus on the yellow pollen on his front paws. I am not an original thinker for this focus on the details, just a scroll down my Facebook newsfeed shows at least one photographer's blog about the little details whether it is in their work or in her home life. (I use her as a generalization, I mostly follow female photographers. I guess I am a little sexist. However a good many of them work with their husbands in some way, just another generalized side note.) But no matter who is saying it, the little details are sometimes the most enjoyable pictures. Sure, you want to see the big picture, but it's really the little things that count right?
This picture is still my favorite from the day. It just fits the personality of my cat: lazy and relaxed.
But he can be a mini Simba when he's feeling naughty.
