Amanda & Stone after the first heavy snow fall of the season. Clearly Stone couldn’t wait to explore! ❄️✨
“I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on, ⠀ The windows and the stars illumined, one by one, ⠀ The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily, ⠀ And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see ⠀ The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass; ⠀ And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass, ⠀ I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight, ⠀ And build me stately palaces by candlelight.” – Charles Baudelaire
I wear so many layers, I feel like an inflated puffer fish. I hold a bag of cat treats in one hand, the other one I have curled into a fist to keep it warm inside the glove. I plod through the snow, shake the bag of treats, call “Lizzie” and make all kinds of kissing sounds that are muffled through my thick scarf. I stop. Because of my hood I can’t see more than a little window right in front of me, so I turn my head in all directions to spot the cat I’m trying to photograph. I finally notice her sitting right next to my foot staring up at me. 😄 I awkwardly open the bag of treats with my gloved hands, tap the snow with my foot a few times to make a solid spot for the treats, drop them, then hobble a few feet away like a penguin while lifting the camera. Ready to take the shot. Only Lizzie is long done, has light-footedly followed me and is about to stick her nose in the lens.⠀ • I imagine how funny the whole process must look and walk back to the spot I’d like her to be in. I start over. After a few tries I’m in a rhythm: Throw treats, half hobble, half jump backwards, drop down on my knees, take a couple of shots, repeat.⠀ •⠀ The result is one happy cat, pretty good blood flow through my limbs despite the low temps and of course excitement about the pictures of Lizzie in the snow. 😸 • Lizzie in the snow • Canada, Dec 2018
