For the first week or so she stayed and slept in her own bed. But as she gained some strength back she's ventured out of her bed, exploring our rooms and hallways, and jumping on and off sofas and beds. Already she has claimed our daughter's bed as her own.
We take her outside to soak in the late winter sun:
and let her wander in the front yard as what may please her:
I used our Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR macro lens for the preceding photo and for the next two. It's a lens we seldom use -- which is a shame. It's super-sharp but hefty, and a bit fat. I'd like to start using it more often for portraits. All of these pictures are center-weighted, using aperture-priority mode.
She will be cared for, until it's time for her to go.
You can't ask for more in life than that. And a special checkmark next to your name for making her last days happy and comfortable.
ReplyDeletethanks. after what she's gone through, she deserved to be in a home again. it just happens to be ours.
DeleteThanks Steve...
ReplyDeleteour daughter had been mentioning her off-and-on over the past few months. i will not recite everything mika went through to get to us.
DeleteWhat a cutie. She looks very appreciative of being taken into a loving home. We all have that one lens or two that we don't use much, but always think we should use more.
ReplyDeletei love how sharp that lens is; it can really show how far off you are in your focus if you make a mistake, especially if you shoot it wide-open as i often do.
