Jodie and the Moth

Posted by James - Tuesday, 24th February 2009

Jodie crept under the dining table today in the way she does when she is stalking something. She positioned herself under a chair and stared at her prey; a moth…

Jodie Spots the Moth

She knocked it off the chair onto the floor…

Jodie Knocks the Moth onto the Floor

… then pounced on it…

In for the Kill

… then clubbed it with her paw…

Let's try a Paw

"You can't escape my claws"

… pounced again…

Another Pounce

… and then ate it – yuk!

Yum, delicious!

Is it wrong that I liked how the morning light lit her face and how cute she was as she stalked and pounced on a poor defenceless bug as I clicked away, lying on my belly?

(First three shot at ISO3200 and the rest at ISO5000 – The 5D MKII is wonderful!)

Is it wrong that I watched you watching Jodie stalking the moth? It was horrible and cute all at the same time!

Brilliant! But stop lying to your belly; you can lie to anyone or anything else, but your belly is… Ah – on, not to… Stupid of me!

Yes – very worng in fact I think I should report you to social services now before I see pics of your child doing something similar (from the mother whose response to seeing her child covered in paint is to grab a camera rather than a cloth)
