How To (Almost) Walk To The Garden.

Sunday emergence...ahhhhhhh. Plenty of time to grab camera accoutrements and write up a right proper post all in one shot.

Sunny high of 81 degrees, and Fauna...

(How did I decide it's Fauna...let me explain, no...let me sum up...when one says such names, and just like they say in The Addams Family movie, it usually comes out Flora and Fauna, hence Flora first, Fauna second. Of the two cats this round, one pupated high on the ceiling and emerged first, so Flora she is. Today's bfly, she's Fauna, which works well for her, too, in that I got to hold her like a sweet pet, as you shall see.)

So, sunny high of 81, and upon my return from yoga class, Fauna was resting on the cat house floor, all emerged and dry and flit-ty with her polydamas gold-rimmed swallowtail self.

I'd no intention of holding her - all I wanted was for her to pose for a pretty side-view portrait. But when I poked at her, she lifted one tiny foot to my finger...

then all the rest...

...so here I am stuck trying to get decent pix with one hand.

Soooo, one-handed bulky SLR video, could it be done!?

Well, I managed it, well, we both managed it. Later, while editing the video on my computer, Pandora music player sung in the background. As you watch, it's the same song that happened to play while I edited the almost-walk to the garden:
