Today is Jasper's 7th birthday! Wiley's doing his best to keep him exercised and in... normal shape.
First test of the new iPhone's camera > email > Flickr > blog script setup...
He's proving himself to be quite the ladies' man...
Believe it or not we had sunshine and 70-degree weather here last week. Jasper discovered a new ledge on which to sunbathe.

Lucie got adopted today, so Jasper's back on the dating circuit...
"This is not what I signed up for!"
(Meanwhile I'm in Buffalo, where it is currently 50 and climbing at 1 am.)
Jasper finally welcomed Jiffy into the fold with a good bath. This and a few other shots are now in the Jiffy & Pearl album.
Pearl, meanwhile, has been at the vet since Tuesday, afflicted with a nasty viral and bacterial infection and fever, but she's reportedly doing much better and could be discharged as early as tonight.
Presumably it was referring to cats that formerly had that name, and not male enhancement or anything naughty like that. However, since I've already got an ex-Samson I didn't bother to verify.
"Deeeeeelicious!"...the only problem being that he has also remembered that he can yowl at the door constantly to express his desire to go out and continue chomping.
Born of a fluke occurrence as I was in the process of creating a composite image of Jasper hanging from a power line (in an attempt to spoof a picture I'd seen online... long story)
Behold, Catzilla (click to enlarge):
I'm imagining a photo series theme of "Jasper versus the world" or similar. Stay tuned...

The other shot in that series... which has become quite the phenomenon on Flickr (or something like that... famous in my own mind. Click to enlarge, etc.)

No, this isn't another thousand photos of Jasper like the Jasper Project photo series. Instead it was a test of my lens capabilities to see just how much of a difference there is from the widest angle to the most powerful telephoto setup.
Both shots were taken on a tripod from the same corner of my apartment, though the exact angle of the lens had to be adjusted for the 10mm to avoid some serious perspective/angle issues (and the long lens mounts on the tripod in a different manner, but they're within about eight inches of one another.) Both photos have been resized and processed in an identical fashion, so both pictures encompass their full frame.
10mm wide-angle:
600mm (300mm lens with 2x teleconverter) -- a net difference of 60x!
Unfortunately both shots required a long exposure (both were f/5.6 and in a fairly dark room, even at ISO 3200) so there's a slight bit of wobble due to the lens shaking. And of course on a Nikon digital these are both x1.5, so the top is 15mm equivalent on a 35mm body, and the bottom is 900mm equivalent. Bring it on, tiny distant birds!
