Saturday Snapshots #1

by Jeanne Horak on August 29, 2008 22 Comments in Photography, Saturday Snapshots

Cat-herb-pots

My friend Inge’s cat, peering suspiciously at us from behind the herb pots –  August 2008

This photo is the first in a series called Saturday Snapshots which I hope to make a weekly feature.  I find that I have loads of beautiful non-food photos that I’d like to share with you but never get the chance, so in the tradition of my friends Ilva (who regularly posts her gorgeous and inspiring non-food photos) and Kalyn (who recently started a Friday Night Photo feature to improve her photography), I have started Saturday Snapshots.  Think of it as something beautiful to look at every week over your Saturday morning coffee 🙂

Saturday Snapshots is a series of non-food photographs published every Saturday on CookSister.  Previously featured photographs can be viewed on the Saturday Snapshots archive pages. Many photos featured in Saturday Snapshots are available to buy as high-quality greeting cards or prints in my RedBubble store.

    What a beautiful picture! I wish I was so talented, though the amazing photos on blogs out there are encouraging me to try a bit harder anyway. I look forward to seeing more of this series (especially if they have cats in them!)

    Incredible idea! I wouldn’t be able to compete.

    I’m intrigued by your blog name.
    My husband is South African and when I first visited SA (Cape Town), he introduced me with cook sister. Apparently its his favorite snack, and off course you can only get it in SA. Anyway, he missed it so much, so his cousin bought a few for him. Back home, I tried to make it and off course failed! If I only knew that this type of snack/cookie, you only leave it to the professional to make it. I’m not sure weather its true, but according to his cousin, no body really make cook sister at home. Cheers.

    Jeanne, Blue thouroughly approves of her closeup Ms. De Mille. Dakota would love a copy too to put in her room. Kid and kitty both currently ensconced on the sofa watching the dog whisperer.
