Balancing Act by lauriehiggins

Balancing Act

I usually spend most Mondays humming, "Just Another Manic Monday," and today was no different. I took a walk on the beach but it was the same old, same old, so I decided to post a photo of my cat I took this morning. When I went into my bedroom, I found her balancing on the curtain rod intently looking outside. Must have been a bird out there.

I took a dozen photos of her and I liked this one best because it's the only one that shows her face. She's still pretty intent on something. Must have been a spider in the corner...

Cute shot! She sure does look intent and I'm always amazed how cats can perch themselves just about anywhere :)

Wow, I cannot imagine how that thin rod is holding her weight! She's a beauty, and I love the way she's back-lit by the sunshine streaming through your curtains. Nice composition, Laurie.

wow it never ceases to amaze me how cats can sit on things like this. Nice shot

She is focused, isn't she? Really like the composition. She looks so pretty perched up there.

I would actually like to see her a bit closer. I know the curtain rail adds interest (and balance) but you can't see the cat's body and face as much.

Hey, our cats look similar! Therefore, she is gorgeous! I love the way the sun shines through her ears and the curtains. This is a fantastic shot. Love it love it love it!

Oh the light is delicious! I love it hitting her ear! I love your curtains too! :-)

Very nice lighting on this.

Great shadows on the curtain and terrific stalking by cat
March 6th, 2012  
Haha, she is brave! Kitty on a wire :)

It is always amazing what they get into, and they must have such keen sight. Aways fascinating to watch them
March 6th, 2012  
This is wonderful. I love the splash of sun lighting up her ear. Such a pretty kitty, your curtains are really cool too.
March 6th, 2012  
Terrific lighting!

Wonderful capture. I love the sunlight. She must have amazing balancing skills!
March 6th, 2012  
She was determined to get at that sun!! Love the shot!
March 6th, 2012  
I love it! I'm glad you decided to post this one. It's different from any I've seen today. And she's a love!

Great shot Laurie. First love the capture and can't believe the rod holds up. Wow must have some fastening of brackets to wall. Second love the lighting and shadows.

Cats always amaze me! They make the most precarious places look comfortable! Love the sunlight pouring through her pink ears!
March 6th, 2012  
I love this shot! She looks a little precarious there, but probably wouldn't ever fall. Nice addition to your windows.
March 6th, 2012  
Beautiful lighting in this. :)
March 6th, 2012  
love the lighting on her...and she does look ready to attack on something
March 6th, 2012  
Absolutely beautiful shot of your kitty. The lighting is just perfect!

beautiful window light captured! what a great place to sit!
March 7th, 2012  
The light in this photo is really great! It's funny sometimes, the odd places that cats decide to hang out. :-) Like shoulders and stuff.

I'm faving this just for her balancing act. If my cats tried this, the rod would be snapped in two, due to their "excessive poundage". That sound so much better than calling them fat!
March 7th, 2012  
I love the shadow! What a cutie!Isn't great we have pets to fall back on! :)
March 7th, 2012  
Impressive balancing act! Like the lighting in this too.
March 7th, 2012

March 7th, 2012  
Faved. Great shot, love the light, the curtains, the cat :)
March 7th, 2012  
LOL, I'm always amazed at where cats can lodge themselves. Mine always parks himself on top of my cupboards. Ever have the feeling you're being watched? Yep.
March 7th, 2012  
funny place for a place to sit.
March 7th, 2012  
This came out great! I love what you did with the light. I can't imagine how that can be comfortable, but I find myself saying that about many cat poses.
