Flynn's Photo Travels.

Mum took us both for a walk in the fields today and I wore the camera. We were asked if it was heavy to wear around our necks, but no, it is very light.
We came in the gate by the hay barn and I did the thing I always do first on our walks, peed against the barn. That is what I am doing while I took this photo. I think that means I can multi task.

I walked over to the bank and looked into one of the horsie fields. Silver lives in this one and I don't think he wanted his photo taken because he was hiding in the shelter.

There is a pile of concrete blocks on the edge of the field that dad is waiting to use, so I jumped up on them to get a better view.

Then I jumped back down and started to walk up to the next field. You can see Danny the horse in the top corner.

This is the other side of the hedge from where Danny is and this is where I find lots of mousies. We are not allowed over the hedge when Danny is there though because she snorts at us and chases us.

I heard movement here and was keeping very still. I pounced and the camera bounced up and hit me on the chin. I was not happy because that meant Mr. Mouse got away.

There was no point staying there so I walked back down to the hay barn.

There are always mousies here in the tufts of grass.


I could hear him moving around under the thick grass and kept patting with my paw to try and find him, but no luck.

I had a last look over at Silver's field before I decided to go back indoors.
Mum was hoping I would get a photo of Eric but he kept walking behind me. She knows he doesn't like having his photo taken.
Mum said I am a very good boy because I don't mind the collar or the camera. I only worry a little bit when she takes it off in case she strangles me. I got lots of treats for being a good boy.
Eric doesn't like it very much. He keeps shaking his head and rubbing his paw on it so I will be the main photographer. Eric got treats as well though, but not as many as me, but don't tell him that.

Eric the Photographer.

Mum put the camera on me today and told me I could go and take some photos.

I jumped off the bed, past the chest of drawers....

.....and past our cube. You can just see Flynn's ear in there.

I headed out to the garden. We aren't sure if the white stripes in the photo are my whiskers or just single furrs.

I went down the garden towards the big shed....


....before heading for the Azaleas. That scruffy blue cord is where mum wants to put edging for the shrubs. Mum said the Azaleas look more like trees from my perspective.

Then we went down the track to the fields.

Yikes! I took a photo of mum's foot.
That was all we got because silly mum forgot to delete Flynn's photos from the camera and it was full up. She has set it to delete every time she downloads now so she doesn't make that mistake again.
Guess what. Flynn was asleep in the cube and didn't even know we had been out Har har har!

Mancat Monday- Camera Cat.

Yes, you were all right. I was wearing a collar for the first time in my nearly 11 years of life! This is the reason why.

Our friend Emerson won a pet camera in a competition from Skeezix but said as he was indoors only he thought we would get more interesting photos than him.
Mum decided I should be the one to try it first as I explore more than Eric but he will be trying it later. She bought a collar and put that on me indoors for a few minutes at a time to get me used to it then a couple of days later put the camera on the collar. I wasn't very sure about it but I didn't freak out. She said she was surprised how good I was with it. Then she let me go in the garden wearing it for a few minutes. She won't let me go in the fields with it for a few days yet. Here are some of my first photos.

My very first photo. I hid in the cube to start with and these are the fev-vers on my fev-ver butt mousie.

Then I decided to hide under the dining room chair.

When I realised that the thing hanging on my neck wasn't going to strangle me, I ventured outdoors and looked at the greenhouse.

Mum followed me to make sure I was all right, and of course she had to take photos of me taking photos.

Walking down to the hedge. Interesting things like mousies live under there.

I sat down and focused on a blade of grass so I could get a good photo of it.

Not bad for a beginner eh?

Then I thought I would have a nom on it.

Nom nom nom.

Okay, that's enough for my first attempt! I'm going back to the fire. There were a lot more photos than this but most were blurry when I kept lying down trying to hide the camera in the beginning. Mum was surprised how clear the other ones came out though.
