We love to take the cats by the water for walks. (see YouTube video below!). They don't laugh at me, the way my husband does, when I play around with light and ice.
Those ice shots are beautiful especially the way the light catches them. The clip was cute. I seemed to be fascinated with the little tracks the cat make in the snow.
I love the way you have set the ice up, to get the light through it. An effect I have not tried. While I was watching the video, I was thinking of the days, years ago, when the cats used to help walk the dog. Many people commented on it, especially when all three cats came with us.
You make my day, as we share our thoughts, concerns, challenges, pet peeves, as well as our joys, family members, critters, activities, favourite quotes and photographs!

No blizzard here. It's very windy though. Sorry you're getting dumped on.
Those ice shots are beautiful especially the way the light catches them. The clip was cute. I seemed to be fascinated with the little tracks the cat make in the snow.
what a lovely video of your two cats thanks for sharing that - made me smile. Still very cold on the easy coast.
That looks like fun but I think I would have to get some cat snowboots cuz my Florida feet aren't used to cold!
Great photos and video. You can't help but smile.
I wouldn't laugh. I'd beg to have a go at your camera. These experiments look like loads of fun!
I love the way you have set the ice up, to get the light through it. An effect I have not tried.
