More cute feline pictures today. Jackie was quite aptly named after Jackie Chan. He is the ultimate stunt cat, and when he was a kitten, he'd do flips in the backyard catching snowballs that we'd throw for him. Sometimes he got about 5 feet off the ground!

The weather has been a bit nicer lately, and Jackie has felt up to coming outside and catching a few snowballs. These maybe aren't the most technically brilliant photos, but I was experimenting with a new technique: Throwing a snowball with my left hand and holding/operating the camera with my right. Exposing a dark grey cat against white snow is also difficult. I'll have to practice more.

I took some snowy tree and landscape shots today as well... I'll post them in the coming days.
