Please resubscribe!

Hi everyone!

I've just switched blog software, and I'm now using Wordpress instead of Blogger. This change will give me a lot more control and hopefully you a better blog reading experience. Most everything will stay the same, however, I have been unable to keep the same feed url. That means if you follow my blog via the RSS feed, you will need to update the feed address in your reader.

The easiest way to do that is visit my blog at http://neil.creek.name/blog and click on the orange rss/subscribe button. If you want to update the url manually, the new one is: http://neil.creek.name/blog/?feed=rss2

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but I can assure you that things will get better and better for the blog, and I'm hoping you'll like some of the new ideas I'm planning to work on.

Thank you for your patience!

Neil

P365 Jul12: Chibi in bed



Every night, almost without exception, out "little" furry family member joins us in bed for a cuddle. He's done this ever since he was a kitten, and when he does, his purr is loud and continual. He loves to bury his face in Nomi's hair and he kneads the pillow and sometimes Nomi's head with his claws. He's obviously extremely content.

As you can see, I get somewhat the rough part of the bargain, or the "wrong end" of the stick. Especially when he's a bit gassy... But over all, Chibi's nightly half hourly presence is very comforting :)

For this shot I put the camera in the cupboard on a shelf, propped up on a jewelery box. The flash was on the drawers to camera right and remotely triggered, to bounce off the ceiling. I set the camera up with the wireless shutter release before going to bed, so when the furry monster hopped up between us, I just rolled over and grabbed the remote from the bedside table and fired off a few shots.

P365 Jul11: Walk in the park





I took advantage of the rare sunshine today and took a stroll in the cold fresh air to the local park.
