Lola Falafel has discovered a new trick, and I swear she's getting endless amusement from tormenting me with it.

I spend a *lot* of time on the Mirra chair in front of the studio computer, but I inevitably need to get up for one thing or another … tea, a snack, my phone – for a quick photo like this one – 

and that’s when Lola makes her move, and appropriates the empty chair. She *knows* I don’t have the stomach to oust her from it (just look at that smirk)

so I get a little stool from the bedroom to hunch at the desk with, and wheel her chair out of the way.

Once I’ve been sitting again for a few minutes, she loses interest and goes looking for a sunny spot to lie down. This happens two or three times a day.

I’m convinced she knows exactly what she’s doing – she’s very fast. I don’t even need to leave the room to lose my seat.

I’m getting to know my new Voigtländer 27mm f/2 pancake lens with the Fujifilm X-T5.

Took a little walkaround … of course, I have to start with Lola, ’cause that’s what the public wants! : )

It’s a wonderful lens; for the time being, it’s going to live on the camera.

P.S. It was 59°F out!

It’s going to hit 56°F today!

Yesterday was 200mm NIKKOR day, and I tested your patience with a batch from my first test walk.

Today, I’m going to exercise a little restraint, and share just one pic from my newly-arrived #Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 short tele (85mm equivalent, a classic portrait length.)

I can tell I’m going to love working with this lens … gorgeous bokeh, great detail … 

Lola’s napping on one of the synthesizers, but she can always tell when I’m enlisting her for #photo time.

Lola wants to help. Why should the keyboard get all the attention?

She’s on the desk with the primary studio computer.

Aww. I'll miss you too, Rosie.

Alone time

Lola of Falafel, resting atop a free-standing cabinet in the kitchen.

She’s illuminated by light reflected off all the snow outside.

Today marks the second anniversary of Lola Falafel’s arrival here at her forever home. She’s the sweetest cat, and I love her immensely.

She’s already had some of her special catnip, and she’s got extra treats and goodies for later on.

It’s absolutely frigid outside – 10º F – but she has a warm spot on the sofa, lying on her heating pad and basking by the portable radiator.

If you haven’t visited yet, she has her own website!
