Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

She's coming.
Nice photo by the way.
I hope you can come to see my Japanese friends on the blog I began the other day about Japan in the early 1950s. Sendai, Japan
The kitties are gorgeous!! They posed very nicely for you.
Sorry, I can't think of a funny caption for them.
haha - nice name for a cat, Papageno! Does he catch any?
My caption would be "Zwanzig nach halb vor Zwolf"
A headache. She's always got a headache!
What a great shot. How did you get the cats to cooperate?
Oh what a pretty photo and to continue lynette,I'm sure you're a very cooperate person to these two cute?
Thanks all, for the comments!
OML: I hadn't thought of that; that does fit. By the way, I have visited your Japan blog and left comments on your daily photo blog.
Ming: Hee, they didn't pose *for* me -- I guess you don't know cats?! The photo is more a testament to the fact that I have my camera handy most times than it is to the cooperative nature of the felines.
Richard: Glad you noticed! Actually, it's more the comic relief aspect that I was going for (his nickname is Tolpatsch). The birdcatcher aspect was a bonus and maybe a little bit of an inspiration. And no, he doesn't get to catch any. As for your caption, hm, too derivative (that sounds harsher than I mean it to).
Lynette: Okay, you made me laugh. They're siblings so I'm going to rephrase your contribution as:
A headache! She's always got a headache when I suggest a game of scratch-and-bite! As for your other comment, see my response to Ming above.
Beetle: Thank you! I try my best, but I can't say I staged this. I'm just fast with the camera. I happened to be sitting at my desk when the two came up and pulled this pose.
Nice shot, Z. As always...
"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try and take over the world."
No hope of making you laugh...I just admire them too much. You are fortunate have two such fine beasts. And beasts is certainly what they are. I still greatly miss our two.
Front cat "He's taking our photo again, I must turn so he gets my best side"
Rear cat "Oh don't be so vain, let him get on with it, it's ten to twelve and almost time for lunch"
Since I already have a postcard from Switzerland, thanks to an earlier caption contest (thanks!), I'll just say that cats are so photogenic! They wear their feelings on their faces!
How about?
Two faced.
You can run but you can't hide.
Here Kitty Kitty!
I'm just grasping at straws here. No this is not the title line.
And now entering the ring...
Good Kitty verses Bad Kitty.
Z....your cats are BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to meet them in person!
