HELLO YOU

[FUJI]

My title reflects what I think our....Big Ollie....is thinking, when I catch him prowling the back lane behind our house..............his great delight is to sit or lie passively directly in front of a vehicle, especially those with drivers who don't know him.

 

Both family members and neighbours have seen him waiting until the very last moment before leisurly walking to one side to allow the vehicle to pass.....he has a very strong presence, as you can see here.

 

He spends most of the day patrolling his huge territory, which includes both, fields and a small wood, he does hunt, but only returns with vermin; he learned at a very young age that birds were a no-no, he wore the biggest' loudest bell ever.

 

Surprisingly he is an exceptionally gentle giant of a moggie, he loves everyone and everyone seems to love him.............we are sure he has more than one feeding station, I know at least one, very elderly neighbour feeds and pets him:

 

Dee loved him, when she was introduced:

He must take some grooming to keep him looking so good.

Nice cat but not enough DOF......................

It's a nice picture, but was he shaking his rear end? You've got DOF that extends just behind him (ground), and to the left, but not his back end! which ought to be in focus considering. I can only think it's motion blur.

 

Or, the other possibility is that you got water on the lens? Thinking about it, that seems the most likely thing.

The answer Chris.......is.......YES!

He is always swishing that magnificent tail around, he was walking towards me at the time.
