わんにゃん お花見♪ Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_3311495.jpg東京は桜が見ごろですね~。夜から雨とか言ってたのに、全然降らないですね。また予報外れたか?でも桜の為には外れた方が嬉しい♪近所の公園も桜満開状態でとても素敵だし!

The sakura is in full bloom in Tokyo. The sakura at our neighbourhood park is beautiful too! They were expecting rain from last night, but seems the forecast was wrong again. Good for the sakuras too!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_3335864.jpg公園は人で賑わってたけど、アイラとの散歩はそれでも楽しい!アイラも桜と同化してました!?

There were tons of people at the park, but walking with Islay in a crowded park was fun too! Islay blended in real well with the sakura too!?

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_3351575.jpgアイラはお花見シーズンが好きです。いい匂いが漂ってますから。お花の香り... じゃなく、花見客の食べ物の香り~!アイラ、クララちゃんファミリーから、チーズを頂いて、大満足!

Islay loves this season, because lovely smell is in the air. The smell of sakura? No! The smell of the food all the people enjoying the sakura are eating. Islay was delighted when Clara's family gave her some cheese!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_3382037.jpgお家に帰って食べてね、とお土産チーズもいただいたら、アイラさん、「ねえねえ、チーズもらったでちょ~、知ってるんだから~!ねえ~、早く食べようよ~!」とるんるんで、とびっきりの笑顔~!でした。分かりやすい奴です!ゲンキンな奴だけど、アイラの笑顔は大好きです!

They gave us some cheese to take back home as well... and Islay, knowing I have the cheese, was smiling BRIGHTLY at me, saying, I know you have the cheese! Can't I have some now? I love her smile!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_3411914.jpgこんな素敵な桜だし... そうだー!猫達も連れてこよう!!って思って、いったん家に戻りました。ちなみに、我家の庭の桜の木、ちょっと日陰なので、満開!ってほどでは無いけど、ちゃんと桜咲いてました~!

Such lovely sakura... mmm, maybe it's a good idea to bring the cats out too! So I rushed home. Anyway, we have a sakura in our garden too, and it's blooming too!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_343428.jpg一人に猫2匹は結構大変。何かあって、放れてしまったりしたら、家猫は戻ってくる確率はかなり低いし、見つけるのも大変だったりで... 人や犬がよく来るようなところはリスクが高い... 花見客が多い公園で、人も犬もほとんど来ない場所なんてあるの?ってあるんだな~これが。殺人現場の横でドンチャン騒ぎする人っていないんですよね。なので、猫との花見にはナイスなのでした。

で、グループ撮影。でも... 場所が見つかっても、じゃあ簡単に撮影できるかって... そうでもないんですよねー。何せ、相手は「猫」ですから。我が道行く、「猫」ですから!さあ、皆こっち向いて~!タウザーがこっち向いてる~!と思ったら、アンバーがあっち向く...。あ、アンバーがこっち向いた~!と思ったら、タウザーがあっち向く...。ふ~...。

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_352238.jpgIt's not easy for just one person to handle 2 untrained cats. If they ever escape, there's slim chance they'll come back home alone, and high possibility they won't be found... so must really be careful, and find a quiet spot, without other people and dogs. But how to find such a place in a park with sakura in full bloom? Easy! The place just beside the murder-site (whole family was murdered at the house in the park), is EMPTY. No one wants to party near a murder-site! Ideal for people to bring their cats!?

But finding a good spot doesn't automatically mean, good photos. After all, you're handling cats, who have a mind of their own. When Towser's looking at the camera, Amber's looking somewhere else, and vice versa... phew...

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_401277.jpg伏せた方が楽かな~... あ、タウザー!動かないでください!

Maybe it'll be easier with them lying down? Please, Towser, stay!!

"I can't stand it anymore! Why can't the cats stay still like I do!?" (by: Islay)

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_42561.jpgタウザー、勝手に去って行きます... アイラ... 諦め気味...

Towser leaves, not caring whether we're taking photos or not, and Islay... givien up hope...?

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_44332.jpgタウザー君、後ろ向いてないで。それに、ちょっと遠すぎです。もう少し近くに来てください!

Towser, will you face front please? and come a little closer?

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_453239.jpgいや、タウザー君、近すぎ!!(アイラ、生首状態でちょっと怖い...)

No Towser, TOOOOOO close!!!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_46653.jpgおー、今度は良さげな写真?っていうか、タウザー、フレームから外れてるし... リードだけ見えてる...

Oh, a pretty good photo? Oh No! Towser's out of the frame... only his leash can be seen...

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_484562.jpgでもそんな中、アイラとタウザーがお話中?みたいなちょっとナイスな写真も撮れました。

But in the midst of all that mess, there were some nice photos too, like this one with Islay and Towser like whispering to eachother?

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4102466.jpgこれもまー、猫達は前向いて無いけど、それなりの写真かなー。でも、一人笑顔でカメラを向いているアイラ、ケナゲ...。

This photo is so-so too, although the cats aren't looking at the camera. Loyal Islay's the only one looking at the camera and smiling!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_413520.jpgタウザーはじっとしてられないので、奴はキャリーに戻して、お嬢様二人で撮影することに。いや~、2匹だと楽~!アンバーは、猫としてはかなーり撮影は楽な方です。

Gave up on Towser who just won't keep still, and with him in the bag, decided to take photo of our 2 girls. So much easier!!! Amber is very easy to handle for a cat.

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4152238.jpg問題児タウザーがいなくなり、楽になって、アイラもホッとした表情!?

Islay with the expression of relief!? with a much easier photo shoot without Towser!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4162186.jpg今度はアンバーのソロ!アンバーの名前は実は、「アンバー・さくら」我家に来る前の名前が「さくら」だったので、そのままミドルネームとしてとっておいてあります。なので、アンバーは桜があう猫なのだ~! (ちなみに、タウザーが我家に来る前の名前は「ゴンちゃん」。さらにその前は「悟空」でした!ぷぷ...)

Now for Amber's solo photos! Amber's name with her previous owner was "Sakura", so she still keeps the name Sakura as her middle name. So I always wanted to take Amber's photo with the sakura! (by the way, Towser's previous name, before he came to our place, was Gon-chan, and before that, was Gokuu)

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4213845.jpgやっぱしアンバーってば、桜が似合っていて素敵~!!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4193852.jpgAmber sure looks good with the sakuras!!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4225575.jpgペルシャ系の猫の、下からのアングルが大好きです♪

I love photos of Persian-type cats, taken from a lower angle!

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4262259.jpgタウザーも撮ってみよう!... げ ... か、かわいくない...。タウザーは下からのアングルはNGだったのだ!めっちゃオーバーショット(下のアゴが、かなーり短くて、口が閉まらない)なので...。

Now, Towser's turn! Oh no! He looks so ugly... his mouth is very very overshot (his lower jaw is much much shorter than the upper jaw), so he can't close his mouth, and it becomes obvious from this angle...

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_43041100.jpg横向きの方がマシかな?まあ、タウザーと桜が、そもそもあうとは思ってなかったし...。

Slightly better from the side? Anyway, I didn't think Towser will look as good as Amber, with the sakuras in the first place...

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_432162.jpgそれにしても、改めてアイラってば、写真を撮るのが楽だ~!!!!と実感した一日でした。猫達の写真だと、体力的にも精神的にも、疲れる~!って感じなのに、アイラだと、純粋に楽しいね~!って感じで撮影できる。写真が楽しい!!と思えるのはアイラのおかげだよ~、アイラ本当にありがとうね!これからも、懲りずに付き合ってね♪ (ちょもちょも、選択肢あるんでちゅか? By: アイラ)

わんにゃん お花見♪  Enjoying Sakura with the furry ones_a0032004_4381022.jpgTaking photos with the cats was both physically and mentally exhausting! Made me realise how great Islay is as a model for my photos! I love taking photos, thanks to Islay who makes it easy for me to do so! I really must appreciate Islay more! Thanks so much, Islay, and do come along with me for more photo sessions, OK? (Well, do I have a choice? By: Islay)
