The Floating Cat

After several weeks of waiting plus a few days of actual work: our house has a new front yard. In place of a completely flat, sparsely covered yard; we now have boulders, a riverbed, and cactus. And we think it looks amazing. We had a local landscaping company, KPW Landscape, do all the work for […]

Jessica, her friend Nora, and I took a day trip up north to Sedona. We were looking to photograph the fall colors of the trees while we still could. Unfortunately, the colors weren’t quite what we were looking for with only a few of the leaves being amber and orange. No red to speak of, and […]

Lots of flower and plant photos this week for the Natural project. Nature photos are always fun to take. I also slightly updated Ask the Floating Cat this week to add animation and a better looking answer system, thanks to the advice of Jessica. Enjoy.
