Modern cars actually lack personality. There, I said it. Something to be said about history, son.

MOST EXCELLENT shallow depth of field photography work.

were you using just a low F-stop to manage that, or using in-camera "toy mode" shooting?

Some pretty good car shots there. Too bad the broad kept getting in the way.

I do what my husband asks of me, like any good wife should. He requested that I be in all of those shots. Far be it for me to dishonor my husband's wishes.

AI from Google, completely after the fact. Makes us hacks look good 😊

I lived in Naples for about a year or so right around '89-'90 at an apartment complex in Royal Harbor. Really enjoyed it there before moving to Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and then back over to where I am now on the East Coast.

My cat (Kinger) and I on the dock behind my apartment:

They stay in your heart, for sure. He was such a good boy. Was very faithful like a dog. Even went on walks with me!

Got him as a tiny little abandoned kitten on a rainy morning at my irrigation supplier's place in Holly Hill about a year or two before re-locating to Naples.

He ended up traveling with me to 4 different places over the next 5 years. He even got lost in Naples but I got him back after placing an ad in the paper. Ended up across town - probably after hopping in the back of someone's truck.

This won't be a popular post, but I grew up with 4 indoor cats, and a mom who rescued any animal in a parking lot (80's). Men seem to "hate" cats. I never understood that.

***** - Female dog
Dog - Ugly woman
Cat Fight - Yes, please
Cat Woman - Purrrr
P*ssy - Depends, but usually ok

Everything dog related, and talking about a woman isn't great. Turn it around to kitty-cats....ME-YOWWWWW
