Case in point, Tom.
Every morning so far after I've fed him I then go into the kitchen to make my own breakfast. He follows me in and curls up at my feet and just sits there looking cute. So silly me thought it was a good opportunity to get a shot of him. There is some lovely light that comes in the window in the morning and his tabby coat looks lovely on the golden wood floors.
Here are the results:
Success, well... sort of.
After tiring of my attempt at animal portraiture I decided to find the Portobello Road Market. As this is mid week it's not the full on market but it was large enough for an afternoon's wander and now that I know where it is will be able to come back on another day on another trip to investigate further.
I attempted one more try at being the Great Animal Photographer:
I highly recommend working with Snails.

Come back to Portobello Road tomorrow or Bank holiday Monday and you'll see it in full swing! It's Notting Hill Carnival and it would be criminal to miss it while you're on holiday.
Oh I would love to but I've actually been back in Glasgow since Aug 10th. I'm just VERY behind in my blog :(
Funny about the animal photography. I'm a lousy sports photographer. I think to myself it can't be that hard, but indeed it is...
The snail held still, at least. ;)
Oh my life. The third and fourth pictures could be mistaken for, well, the floor (dramatically patterned, that is), as Tom all but disappears in a rampaging blur of cat.
You have my every sympathy, however, as I used to find it all but impossible to get a decent picture of my cat. I think cats know what they're doing, Chris, and derive some cruel pleasure from our traumas. Just a hunch.
Hope everything's okay (back) in Glasgow.
Kind regards etc....

Love the contrast between the pics of your cat and that snail. My rabbit, M, sometimes sits still but she knows a pic is in the offing ans usually moves before I can get the camera out, switch it on and click.
Cool website! Greetings from Paisley ;)
