Photo of the Day- “Fast Friends”

"Fast Friends" - Tracey Capone Photography

Not long ago, I introduced you to the newest member of the household, Jack. The first few weeks with Jack were a little crazy thanks to upper respiratory infections for both him and Charlie and multiple vet visits over a two week period. I am happy to report though, we seem to be past all that and it looks like Charlie and Jack have become pretty fast friends. (can you tell from the photo above?)

Now, Jack does still annoy Charlie plenty. Picture a 19 pound cat (who, by the way is not an overweight 19 pound cat but rather large, muscular one) being chased by a three pound, pint sized runt, all the while squealing like a small child at the prospect of being caught. Having my camera phone at the ready has been a must because, while it’s not going capture pictures as well as good old Bessie (yes, that would be my SLR) I would never be able to capture moments like this without it.

Of course they don't wait for me to make my bed!

I also admit that I have become quite obsessed with downloading camera apps on my iPhone. If you have one, check them out. Apps like Instamatic and Hipstamatic, among others are a lot of creative fun!

Having Jack in the house, while initially rather stressful has been such a tremendous joy. And as much as Charlie might want to whine and cry when Jack chases him (which I don’t blame him, his nickname has become “Vampiro” for all the biting) I truly think Jack has been just what Charlie needed since Oliver passed away. What do you think?

Let's all let out a collective, "Awwwwwwwwww"

Enjoy!

Floating Outside Metropolis…

"Floating Outside Metropolis" - Tracey Capone Photography

New to the gallery is “Floating Outside Metropolis” an abstract cityscape photograph of the always beautiful Chicago. I love how you feel water level with the shot, looking back at the skyline as if you’re just floating around Lake Michigan under the beautiful blue sky, without a care in the world. (I promise, there are no sharks in Lake Michigan… )

Enjoy!

“She Waited Until Fall” New to the Gallery

“She Waited Until Fall” by Tracey Capone Photography

New to the gallery is “She Waited Until Fall,” an autumn-inspired photograph of some beautiful, crimson fall leaves I came across while out and about here in Chicago.

The three years that I was away from Chicago, I missed the cool weather of October, changing quite quickly in to the cold of November and December. When I moved back up in June, I couldn’t wait for it to get cold again. Beautiful fall leaves, a fire in the fireplace, a cozy afghan. This is my first Autumn back here and I haven’t been disappointed yet.   Break out the Uggs, bring on the beautiful colors and yes, bring on the snow!

Enjoy!
