One Beautiful Thing ~ twenty.two


Have you ever seen eyes like that?

I bumped into her yesterday while walking in an unfamiliar neighbourhood, looking for interesting things to photograph. Actually, she bumped into me. And continued to collide with me as I tried to take her picture. She took my breath away. I have never seen eyes that colour. That green. My absolute favourite shade of green...the colour of lime popsicles.   

She was such an affectionate cat...so much so that I felt guilty for having to eventually abandon her. Well, her owner was right there...and she told me her name, but I have forgotten now. But still, walking away from a creature so open to love made me feel lonely for her as I walked away.

I am allergic to cats, and normally keep my distance. But I couldn't resist this little beauty. Oh, I wish I could have eyes that colour! It was worth the sniffles and sneezes. This day, I had to settle for itchy red eyes. Reality and reverie sometimes don't coincide.

    A cat's purr is so soooooothing. I am so sorry you are allergic to cats. But as you said, the sniffles were worth the momentary love you got.

    Wow! She's stunning! How did you ever capture her so still and close? I can just picture her weaving around your ankles. ;)

    So beautiful. That is the color of one of our cats, Polly. I wish I could capture the vibrancy of her eyes as well as you did this one. Gorgeous.

    She is beautiful. And I love the color of her eyes too!

    There was a dark grey cat named Ben at my local pet food store (they help cats from the shelter be homed). He was fabulous - and he loved dogs. I named him Osiris and spent so much time playing with him. I don't know if I really want a cat (and am not sure I'm totally un-allergic yet anyway) but if I did, he would be the one. :)

    Oh, I LOVE cats, but I am allergic, too. I always had a cat anyway. But, you know, since we stopped owning cats I've felt amazingly better. Amazingly! Still, I wouldn't have been able to resist this guy either. How beautiful.
