Description

This photo was taken back in 2006 with my first digital camera - a point and shoot Panasonic. I was deciding at the time if I wanted to give up my trusty and always reliable film SLR for a digital. The decision turned out to be an easy one, hands down.

(Hank, one of our cats was my favorite model. This is him at age 1 - he's now 10 and my garden is still one of his favorite spots to hang out in.)

What wonderful markings on handsome Master Henry here, Val. Love his HUGE blue eyes...perhaps he spied a bird or another kitty...?
Switching to digital was the best thing I ever did. Twelve years ago this month, I discovered the betterphoto site, and have never looked back! #11315259
