Every once in awhile I like to take one of my photographs and play around with it for 4-6 hours in Paint Shop and see all of the different variations I can come up with. Many just don’t work, and for the ones that do … they get posted here on the site.
I decided [...]

Sometimes ya feel just a little lethargic. Well, actually, 90% of the time if your a cat. Buddy is a pro at napping and can find some very interesting positions to lay in. In this photograph I believe we were piling items on top of him to see how long he would [...]

It has been a while since I messed around in Paint Shop … so I decided to do a few Paint Shop image effects on my Peek-A-Boo Kitten in Clover photograph ( see original photo here ). The effect I ran on this photo is called “colored pencil”. I really like the speckled [...]

When my son saw this he just HAD to take a picture. I mean how can you resist kittens hugging ? Yep … that’s what I thought too.
The kittens in this picture are the two that we found in the parking lot of our apartment complex. Their temporary names (until we found [...]

In this picture we have one of our stray cats “Rudy” sharing a dinner plate with “Petey The Possum”. You can see another “Petey” picture HERE and also read more about his/her story.

This beautiful praying mantis payed us a visit in September of 2009. He / she decided to hang-out on the window screen right outside our home office window. We actually had quite a few praying mantis swing by our place over the summer. This was probably about the fifth or sixth [...]

We had a possum family that decided to move in around our back yard one year. The possum pictured here was loving named “Petey” but it was probably a female. She had 4 babies hanging off her back that she proceeded to drop-off around the yard one night … and [...]

I followed this squirrel for a good 10 to 15 minutes … just waiting for him / her to stop running around for a minute. Finally got the shot here with the squirrel resting in a small grove of Redwood trees.
This picture was taken at the Big Basin Redwoods State Park. This park [...]

Well we were trying to take a picture of this natural Rose Quartz sphere when our cat Sprinkles decided to “enter” the picture. We went ahead and let her stay there. We ended up using this photograph for our on-line advertising from 1995 to around 1998.
Unfortunately Sprinkles has since passed from this World [...]
