With the longer lens attached to old T4i, I was able to take advantage of its ready-to-go status and take a couple snaps of a neighbor's cat, Quinny. He is usually out all night and can be found to be skulking home, along a side street, at about the same time every morning. During the afternoon I noticed he was uncharacteristically out and about. It appeared as if he was trying to blend in, stalking some of our favorite songbirds hiding in a thicket.
I continued to make progress on a new landscape painting, completing a value study and blocking in some of the main colors. Setting the photography aside, as we are finally getting some much needed rain, it will be a good day to paint.
