Photo Week: Kittens!

Aperture Priority (AV), ISO: 400, 1/8s, f/4.0. Grayson, a foster kitty currently bunking with some friends, will be up for adoption in a month or so at the Lowell Humane Society. Kittens aplenty, last year this great facility adopted out over 650 cats as well as bringing the delightful pup Jpeg into our lives. Is it time for you? Check out Grayson and his siblings (not yet ready for adoption) in the Photo Week: Kittens, or go on down to the Lowell Humane Society (or your local shelter) to adopt, donate, or volunteer!
escape (if you can!)

Aperture Priority (AV), ISO: 200, 1/320s, f/4.0. The shadows on this fire escape create an M.C. Escher-esque look of an impossible exit! Dizzying!
