I’ve been up early most of this week trying to catch a glimpse of the Saharan smog before it disperses.
It’s been foggy, but I haven’t seen any evidence of the storm. No sand on top of my car like others have reported, but I have got a vile cold so if that’s what the sand has brought with it then I’m not very impressed.

My sincere apologies for not posting for a while. I’ve been preoccupied with a couple of other projects that I hope will come to fruition shortly. One of which is transforming this blog and FINALLY setting up my own website.

He immediatly made a dash for safety to a neighbor’s shed. I managed to catch him mid-leap of faith.

He made the shot shot anyway. Here’s day 39:

Very rarely, you can tell exactly what an animal is thinking from their expression.
In this picture, I captured Mick from outside. It was raining heavily, and I didn’t want him to go traipsing outside only to immediately want to come back in with muddy paws!As cats do. So I quickly snapped his little face looking out onto the garden.
He’s not amused.
I used a directional “lighting effect” in Photoshop across Mick’s torso to place all focus on his expression
