New Outdoor Pets

All this week we have been greeted every morning by these creatures in our backyard. The number grows each day, and we are now up to five. I guess they like snacking on all the crabapples that have fallen to ground. So, since they eat all of our food and mark their territory everywhere in our yard, I have decided to adopt them as our pets. If money gets tighter, I will happily auction them off to the highest bidder.





I just came in from taking a few shots of Noah before putting him down for his "rest time." I decided not to retouch all the cookie crumbs on his face. The ones of him with his UE purple shirt on were taken a few weeks ago with a soft focus filter that I bought after taking a portrait photography class. I'm still practicing with it, but I think they look pretty good. Do you like them better With or Without the filter?
