Tree Panther

My little Mimi in her recumbent all-natural cat tree in the back yard. It’s the mulberry that gently laid down in a heavy snow, at one time produced berries as big and purple as blackberries, but now is mostly dead branches. Mimi likes to walk all over it and use it as a big scratching post.

I took this photo using my original 50mm f1.8 prime lens from my very first Pentax K1000 camera, which I still have. I use this lens with a 1.5X converter to mimic a macro lens to photograph details of nature: flowers, insects, snowflakes. That old Pentax lens was an excellent lens, and I got a Pentax DSLR because I could use all my old analog lenses with the DSLR.

Mimi is one of my household of felines, all of whom at the moment happen to be black. She is the only one who regularly joins me outside, always wearing a harness and a leash, and only under my supervision. I post cat photos daily on The Creative Cat, and because they are often nice photos I decided I’d share them here as well.

You can visit The Creative Cat for even more feline photos as well as artwork, commissioned portraits, rescue stories, health and welfare and more.
