New toy!

Next week, it's our 20th wedding anniversary. How the hell did that happen?? Anyway, as a gift, Gordon got me a new Nikon D7100 DSLR to replace my aged D70. I got a new wide-angle lens too. I couldn't be happier!

I tried it out on Emily last night...


It came with a 355-page manual. Let's see if I can get through that!



Miss Princess was enjoying her beauty snooze on the couch as we watched Breaking Bad on DVD.



She rules the house now, in case you didn't know!



Happy little kitty!




Pensive moment. Or maybe she's plotting something!



And a little grooming before returning to her nap!



But we can't forget the old guy, Julius. Emily is always hissing and yowling at him. He just ignores her!

And here's MY old guy...


...well, actually he's four years younger than me! :) Thank you for my beautiful gift, Gordon!

    Happy anniversary to you both. And I look forward to more and more of your marvelous photos. You've almost (almost) turned me into a cat lover.

  3. "Happy Anniversary and many more, you two". Enjoy your weekend celebrating. That first pic of Emily is amazing. What a model she makes. I'm still raving about your honey. I am such an oinker...half way through the first bottle. That stuff goes good on everything.

  8. Emily has got to be the most gorgeous little pussy-cat that ever lived. Indeed the Noble Don QuiScottie does now bestow that official title on her, for use through all QuiScottieland and in the provinces and colonies beyond. Arise Lady Emily M.G.L.PC.T.E.L.
