George, the lost cat that moved in with me on May 15 from the woods, loves to go out tramping my fields with me looking for butterflies. He tends to wander off but when I call him back, he quickly races to me. I'm still learning how to catch these action shots with my new Canon Rebel XSi so these are "practice shots."
I got one perfect shot of George butterfly hunting today but I'm not posting it here. It isn't an odd photo. It's perfectly gorgeous. I'm saving it for tomorrow night's Cats on Tuesday post. George is soaking wet in these photos from being in the meadows after several heavy rain showers.
George is lots of fun outside. He rolls on the flowers I try to photograph and thunders through the meadows scaring all of the butterflies away. But he is all love, companionship and happiness. That more than makes up for the ruined shots. Above, George was running behind the well just as the camera snapped.
So if you are having a lousy day, come up and take a walk in the meadows and woods with George. I promise that you will return home with a lightened heart.

You got some great action shots. I like the levitation shot if only that fence (?) hadn't blocked his head. Been loving your butterfly and moth shots lately, too.
ReplyDeleteI protest ! these are not odd shots, they are soooo cute ! George seems to be a very amusing cat, just like Arthur ! he also loves when I am outside with him ! I am curious to see your picture tomorrow !
ReplyDeleteCats do get into odd positions - and you have caught some beauties.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is feeling very much at home. Good for him. Tell him to be kind to butterflies, though.
ReplyDeleteCats are a hoot to watch, especially outdoors when they are hunting. You've captured George in all his glory!
ReplyDeleteThese are what I call action shots. Excellent storyboard.
ReplyDeletewhat a great collection of action shots - so much energy in them!
ReplyDeleteGeorge just exudes joy! I love those photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cat, he looks like he is having a lot of fun out there.
ReplyDeleteGeorge was sure caught in some odd positions! I loved them all! I think you better "keep" George for sure!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots!
ReplyDeleteHe even runs and jumps like my Alex kitty when we take walks in the prairies.
I think George is a great hunter.
