Yeah, two pet posts in a row. Sorry.
Roxy and Kirby seem to be getting along better these days. They were just laying like this on the couch, so of course a bunch of pictures had to be taken. This is probably my favorite of the bunch, but your opinion may differ. I just like her expression.

We went Christmas tree hunting this week. Try as we might to support 2 different local tree farms, we ultimately found Home Depot had a better selection. The trip to the tree farms wasn’t a total bust, though, because we got to see some good friends and came away with a few good pictures.

I’ve kind of been on a B&W kick lately. Maybe next week I’ll post something with color.
Continuing the cat theme, here’s Sam at my parents’ house. Hopefully she wasn’t thinking about eating me. Probably turkey.
Mmm, turkey.

I almost went a year without posting a picture of a cat but George was too cute to pass up on. I really like George… mostly because he acts like a dog. :)

It was gorgeous outside over the weekend, so Molly finally convinced me to put up some lights. The first round of lights we had purchased lacked the necessary female connector on the end (despite the box clearly indicating its existence). These lights are better anyway. Still to come (maybe), is lights over the garage.
After what has been a wonderfully mild November, we finally got our first snow this week. I’m usually not a fan of selective coloring but I think it works really well on this picture.

The weather turned cold and rainy this weekend so I didn’t get out to take pictures of the fall colors like I wanted but instead tried to get creative inside the house. I really like the way this one turned out, especially the focus (click through for a better view).

Spent the weekend in Bismarck for the Make-A-Wish “World of Wishes” gala. I thought I’d get out and see the city a little bit, but it’s kind of hard to shoot with a puppy attached to your arm, so that went out the window.
During the event, they had a neat group called “The Strolling Strings of Bismarck” play. Much like it sounds, they walk around and play. The age range seems to be middle school to high school aged kids. It was definitely something unique which made the event enjoyable.
Late post this week, I know. I just transitioned computers and it took a bit longer getting my photos copied over and Lightroom back up and running than I expected. Anyway, this picture is fitting because it’s late but still very awesome, much like the lamp :-)

Tried something new tonight. Blending multiple exposures to get multiple copies of Molly and Roxy in the picture. It being dark and stuff outside made her blur while walking, so I’ll have to try this sometime when it’s light out.
