king of the house

whbeebe

These are Luke’s salad days. He oozes the ultimate in feline cool. He is the preeminent alpha male in this household and he knows it.

Except when Danï  decides to wrap those poly paws around his neck and wrestle him to the floor, when she’s not trying to terrorize big Annie.

The photo was taken with the GH4 and PanLeica 50mm at f/2. I needed that aperture to provide enough depth of field for Luke’s eyes and some of his whiskers. I like the way focus falls off towards the back of the image with this lens.

cuteness as an evolutionary necessity for survival

If Danï wasn’t so cute she’d be in dire shape by now. She’s a sweet little thing but she has a very bad habit of rising up on her hind legs, waving those huge poly fore paws at the other members of the family, especially Annie our Doodle. And then Danï squeaks (yes, squeaks) at Annie, who gets upset and barks back. Annie is a an order of magnitude larger, size-wise, than Danï. And yet Annie gets scared. So now I have to pay closer than normal attention to the two of them, especially Annie. I guess we’ll get through this just like we get through everything else.
