Photographed early November of last year, Fred was just as sweet as he was handsome. It was a joy to have him in our life, and he is sorely missed.

Our blue tabby Maine Coon cat Sassafrass. Her fur has grown back from a disastrous trip to the groomer last year.

This was photographed full frame using the Lumix 1:1 aspect ratio. (Love that feature!)

The light was so low I had to use the on-camera flash, but (at reduced power) was surprisingly pleased with the result.
