1st of the day: 6

Here's Pearl again, looking through the window while October happens, with its pumpkins and falling leaves and its wet days and windy ones.

In spite of all the wisecracks I've made about kitten photos, I've recently somehow concluded that the photo calendar I've decided to make as a Christmas gift for a friend will be the 2010 Pearl the Cat Calendar. Pearl's been such a sport whenever I've asked her to be the subject of my messing about with cameras! She deserves some little honor. Like her own calendar.
