Here, our two cats enjoy a period of peace, lounging in the window at the back of our couch.
Our older cat, Lucy, is very loving, but she's also very skittish. She was extremely attached to our former cat, Bob, who died last year, but it takes her a while to warm up to a new face. She has been intrigued by Young Oscar the Cat since his arrival, but Young Oscar is exuberant, and Lucy doesn't like exuberant things. She likes him when he sits still, but he never sits still for long.
We thought maybe Lucy would take on a mothering attitude toward Oscar, but it hasn't worked out that way. I think she feels more like a big sister. She thinks he's cute, and for the most part, she likes him. But she also finds him annoying as Hell.
Editor's Note: It is a well-known fact of cats that black cats are hard to adopt out. That's partly why we got Oscar, because he was the only black cat of his litter, and we thought it might be hard for him to find a home. One of the reasons for the hesitation people have to take in black cats has to do with weird superstitions people have, but in the modern age, I think the bigger reason is that black cats are hard to photograph. Unless the light hits them just right, all a camera gets is a featureless black blob. I'm okay with that, as I don't photograph the cats all that often. But a lot of people in the modern world don't want a pet that won't work easily on Instagram.

The typical L102 sequence. As the light source approach to the subject the distance light-subject is equal and then minor that the distance light-background, so the background darkens
One SB-24 at 1/2 power and 5m for the first, 1/4 and 3m the second, 1/8 and about 1.5m the third and 1/16 at 0.5m for the last one.
Another try at uploading videos of my moving gradient test on my cell phone...
I created a simple clock that is made of moving, colorful gradients on a black background. The purpose of the test was to try to find a way to have gradients merge with each other without unsightly masks removing parts of other gradients. I found a relatively simple way to do that but don't know if it's energy efficient or not (eg, uses too much battery) - I'll need to run tests and gather information first.
This is the debug variation that shows radial lines from the center to each "hand" as well as the integer value of each gradient (converted to clock time). Each gradient's position is a percent of the time around the clock and is continuous, not discrete, which is why the position of the gradients may not match the numbers on each gradient.
Whilst looking for signal wire support brackets, I came across this. not sure what it is, but it could be part of a gradient marker, as the line dropped towards Bath. Can anyone clarify?
I felt like getting kinda fancy!
This weekend I pained my nails with OPI Kyoto Pearl (the frosty white base coat here). I felt like making it fancier at the end of the week so I did some gradient glitter tips at the laundromat. :)
The tips are OPI "Teenage Dream," and this was actually super easy! I built it up in 3 coats: first a glitter coat on the tips (like for a french manicure), then a second coat from about halfway down the nail all the way to the tips, then a third coat about 3/4 down the nail to the tips. I tried to make the 3rd coat pretty thin as I started it so it would look gradual. Topcoat on top of everything.
I like it! I'm SUPER INTO glitter nail polish now. Oooh, sparkles. Love. I probably should start cleaning up my nail beds and cuticle areas better after I put polish on.
Also, my problem with bubbling that I was having has mostly gone away. I've noticed that several things made the difference - thin coats are good, but VERY important is waiting for the coats to dry. Honestly, I pretty much need to wait like 10 or 15 minutes between coats which seems excessive, but whatever. The final thing I've noticed is that when I do my nails when it's warm, it's way more likely to bubble. Painting in the early morning or at night is the best.

I wouldn't call these successful yet - this one is the proto-type, and I'll rip and re-knit it. But pretty close!
