Location Taken: Readfield, Wisconsin
Time Taken: June 2012
So there I was at a family reunion at my Great-Uncle’s farm in Wisconsin. A lot of the family was enjoying themselves chatting away, but, being the introvert I am, I went photographing.
They have a lovely garden full of both flowers and crops, right by the house. It’s well cared for, with plenty of space between the plants for easy access. It made an excellent place to photograph flowers, as I could get in as close as I wanted without disturbing the other plants.
Alas, I did disturb something.
One of the farm cats was hanging out on the warm dirt when I wandered over. A rather fine specimen of cathood, I would say, even if I’m not a cat person. And the cat looked so appropriately domestic hanging out around the flowers, so I wandered over to take a photo.
And the cat bolted behind a plant.
I got a bit closer, and peeked around the plant.
The cat moved to keep the plant between me and it.
I shifted again, trying to line up a good photo.
I got one photo, this one, with the focus still set to plant-length and not cat-length.
The cat ran for the dark barn.
Apparently it hates having its photo taken even more than I do.
