Its morning here, and Tiger made sure that I got up at six, she was super happy & jumpy! Charcoal too joined her, its a special thing to have them both inside the closet next to me all day, with 4 kittens each 🙂
We might have lost big, funny Leica... He is a bit too young to leave like males do, but who knows, he was sort of hyperactive the days before he was gone.
The three golden ones, Leica, Zimba and Marigold grew up with me in their room for months, so they are definitely different. Spider was really special, but she too is gone...
Our white ones have the right attitude! They're often grumpy, bite me at random, and might be more cynical like cats should be.
That last shot here was interesting btw, as so many times before I made randomness work for me, I'll do content on that later at some point.
And of course both for cats & us there is a lot of randomness, some good, some dangerous!
They've learnt as a flock that anything outside our walls can be dangerous, that sort of knowledge is definitely passed on somehow.
I'm not sure how many of you read the text here, as long as the images are good that does not really matter too much for me.
But its good to have this sort of outlet anyway, especially since most of the dangers I'm facing myself are hard to even explain...
Ultimately its all connected to the pure insanity of the collective West, technocratic globalism and so on. Of course I'm physically removed from most of that, but I still have to handle it...
I'll do other content on that of course, here its about producing good images!
Banana leaves are so interesting and quite easy to work with! I might not get tired of that within the next years haha!
The bananas here are small and of good quality I guess, since I do a mostly ketogenic diet I'm not eating too much, other than at random.
The Sony A900 with Minolta 70-210/4 Beercan combo is really something... Actually the whole, old Minolta lens lineup is good, super cheap and something I'd seriously consider if all the gear was gone and I had to invest again.
I'll probably do something on the Sony/Minolta option as well as Nikon later on, from the perspective of getting a good, pro grade setup for the lowest possible price.
I think this leaf is the one I did something on in the last post haha!
That curl is really good for creating a focal point, I bet I'll come back to it again 😁
Charcoal has the right attitude and experience to survive as a cat. Early on she was scared out of her mind by a big cat, possibly her dad. That changed her, to such a degree that I had to spend weeks getting her to trust us again.
Also she was probably hiding inside a car as a kitten, I kept looking for her for days until she eventually returned, meowing constantly for hours, before flopping on her back, letting me calm her down hehe
She trusts me for real now of course, but she is still always on the alert when outside, which is great.
I guess this morning walk lasted less than five minutes, but still so much was observed, turned into images, and also this text.
Hive is the best outlet ever, regardless of how everything else will play out I find it extremely meaningful to produce all of this, to then (hopefully) get votes that lead to making some tiny earnings in a fully decentralized way!
Maybe here it will also be possible for me to start writing about the things I'll have to handle too, certainly it seems like that, but social media is kinda like a jungle, you never know...
I guess Charcoal is 3+ years old now, she's developed so much, as has Tiger.
Actually she hissed at Tiger yesterday, in a way that actually impressed Tiger, that has never happened before!
Why? Well I'm pretty sure that Charcoal did it because Tiger spent too long away from her kittens.
Which makes me ponder, they might handle danger, challenges and necessary collaboration better than many I knew before I left the West haha!
So much has happened where our cats have been part of it, that is definitely something I'll write about too 🙂
