July 4th outing to the Cape – Pandora
I had hoped to get this entry done before SeaQueen left to go be Queen of the Sea for a while. But at least I got the Flickr slideshow set of her girlie done before she had to leave and she did get to see it.
When we arrived at SeaQueen’s place on the Sunday of July 4th weekend, we promptly got the food out for lunch. Well, during lunch, Pandora decided that it was time to eat too. HB grabbed Dee Dee and clicked a picture of Pandora up on her eating spot.
WELL, evidently Pandora is a bit of a camera hog too! Who knew? She started rubbing and rolling and being all frisky on the carpet while HB took photo after photo. It was really odd. Pandora was just going nuts.
SeaQueen’s theory is that Pandora really likes men better than women, so if you want good pictures of her, you’ve got to send a man in with the camera. And SeaQueen’s family’s theory is that Pandora will only be pretty for the camera when it is a really nice camera.
Either way, it was pretty funny.
Later, I sat down on the couch and was waiting on everyone. I was half trying to get a picture of a chipmunk or bird that was on their deck, and who should come by but the Camera Princess, herself.
“Is that a beautiful new camera in your hands?”
So, I did the usual scratch away at my head to get her eyes focused on me (I had to shoot in automatic mode, as you might imagine for a one-handed photo op). Then HB came by behind me and she stared at him, so I could quit scratching and go back to using both hands.
After HB left, she went back to being a bit sulky/predatory.
I made my first Flickr slideshow of the pics of Pandora that HB and I took. Mostly the ones I took, because the ones HB took, she is just rubbing and squirming on the carpet. But he did take the close up of her face at the end.

The slideshow will automatically open using flash. If your computer doesn’t have the program, Flickr will help you install a version of it when you try to view the slideshow. Or you can email me, especially if you are family (mom, dad, etc.), and I can help figure out what to do so that you can see my photos by slideshow.
Um, that’s it for now. I hope to do an extended entry about the rest of our trip to SeaQueen’s place on the Cape later.
I took these photos with Dee Dee, my Nikon D70. Note that a few of the pics in the Slideshow were taken by HB.

Cool pics, Danielle! And I think you’re right; I bet Pandora was just impressed with Dee Dee.
Squirl says:
She is really a beautiful cat. I’ll have to look at the slideshow later, though. Dang it, too busy, just trying to get to a few blogs here and there.
Victoria Winters says:
She’s a cutie!
Momo says:
Nice pictures, pretty kitty!
She really did enjoy her time as the star of the show, didn’t she.
Seems like you guys are really enjoying Dee Dee…so are we!
