Farm Cat
Uploaded: March 19, 2010
I spotted this cat just as I arrived at this farm and got permission to shoot there. By the time I got my camera out, he was heading off and this is the only shot I got.

Now that's a really cool--er, ah, cold--shot. Well, both cool and cold. Really nice environmental shot of an outdoor cat who would probably much prefer to be an indoor cat just at that moment. Excellent in B&W. #8468198Robyn A. Terrell March 20, 2010
