i heart faces photo challenge || it's pet week

now here's something i haven't done in awhile ...
i heart faces photo challenge!

this week it's all about pets ... pets of any kind,
and i do love a challenging pet session!

i have a few images of my sister's cat, and i've chosen this
one for the challenge over in that great community of photographers.

miss november is an older cat, who is very small in size,
and a beloved member of the family.
i caught her just as she was yawning ...
looks more like she's angry, but no, she is the sweetest little thing
and loves to sit and cuddle in your lap.
some of you might remember her from a past post.
i have a few more expressive photos of her that i'll share soon.

i haven't been around since my last post and had actually
set my camera aside for a time to help my sister since my nephew passed away.
i did, however, take it on our drives in the country to capture the beauty of autumn ...
which i'll share here soon, and hopefully not before the snow falls!

yes, they say winter is arriving early this year.

hmmm, and maybe that's how she's feeling about that in this photo below!

hope you all have a blessed week,
and come visit or join in on the pet challenge

i heart faces photo challenge ... 'in the distance'

it's been quite awhile since i've participated in the photo challenges with i heart faces,
and i have really missed it over there ... besides being able to ask questions in the forum,
and learning about 'all things photography',
it's a wonderful community of photographers, both amateur and professional!

in the process of moving my blog here, unfortunately, i haven't been too active there,
so, now that things are settling down,
i thought i would get back into the swing of things with their current monthly challenge,

'in the distance'.

there are some really fine entries over there,
and, this is my offering for the month of june ...

yes, indeed, color is in ...
at least here at our local skating rink ...
'the wonderful world of wheels'!

if you would like to join in, you will have until the 8th of this month, (june).
after that, they will judge the entries in order to name a 'winner'.
click here and you can find more information,
as well as see a variety of 'distant' entries!

hope to see you there!
have a blessed week!
