Photo of the day: Oliver

Oliver, a photo by The Bacher Family on Flickr.

When a cat shows an interest in you, you can't really say "wait here while I go grab my expensive high-tech camera." That's why it's awfully nice to have the option of grabbing the cell phone in your pocket and taking a reasonably good picture. Yes, this is an iPhone photo, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Oliver has such gorgeous big blue eyes -- and as a young cat, barely beyond a kitten, he's rarely still long enough for a sharp photo. I got lucky with this one. But if I'd gone to grab my camera, the moment would have been gone before I returned.
