My little elf on her shelf

 

I think it was my brother Steve, who has been taking photos seriously since the 1970s, that told me the secret to getting good photos was to take a lot of them.

This is especially true with cats. You can't pose them. If you try to draw their attention with a sound or a toy, they're likely just to twitch and ear or look off to the side.

You just have to wait until they're close to what you want and then shoot, shoot, shoot.

This is the first time I've seen her on this shelf, which years ago was frequented by Ginny, but lately has been unuse. I hope she decides she likes it!
