I stopped by the Kitten Room today on my way up to SP#1. And this is what my first photos of the morning looked like.
I thought adult cats were hard to photograph. Kittens are even harder! They were so curious about me and my camera, well, and of course, so eager for some attention, that they were running and jumping all over the place. Since I shoot without a flash and the lights aren’t ideal for kitten portraiture, I had a tough time of it. (Well, “tough”… that’s not quite the right word, since I was laughing my head off the whole time).
I sort of got the hang of it after a few minutes and ended up with a few images of these sweet babies (although they are not all entirely in focus :-D ; I completely forgot to switch over to Shutter Priority :oops: )

This little crew is full of energy! It’s amazing how different all of their personalities are. I could have spent the whole day with them, but also wanted to get up to my gang in Special Needs. Everyone was doing really well there. The highlight of my day was a long play session with Dasha, who astonished me with her quick feet and stamina. She looks so frail and unsteady; I never expected she still possessed such vitality. What a joy to see her leaping about, so full of exuberance.
