amount spent: $30.00

comments: we got a nice early start and there were quite a few sales, all in all it was a very good day for finding cuuh. Didn't do as well with the photography, however. I took the picture of the cuuh with the triangle out for display, but the camera reacted badly to that set-up. Because of the reflective surface, the camera insisted on darkening the rest of the picture too much. I wasn't able to correct it satisfactorily, so I folded up the triangle, put it into its box, and retook the cuuh pictures, which turned out much better. Unfortuneatly, I only thought I saved the picture I wanted, so when I went to retrieve it for posting, I found only the first, less successful one. Of course I'd already cleared the camera's memory card and put the cuuh away by then...

So, where were my feline assistants during the photographing of the cuuh??



Felix was lurking, but after a quick look at the cuuh, he decided it wasn't interesting enough to rate his presence for the photo...

...and Atticus decided a nap was a bigger priority for him....
