Today's photo hunt theme is warm. I have been a little distracted this week because my PC went 'poof' and shut off for good last Sunday. I had backed up most of my stuff but not for a few weeks. So here I am using an old lap top while the computer experts try and fix my PC. The problem is that the new fangled external hard drive on which I have stored my life for the past few years doesn't work with the elderly lap top. I am sure that there is a profound metaphor there but it is beyond me at 5:30 am.
Last night, while I was in my usual winter after dinner relaxing 'pose' (lounging on the couch, in front of the fireplace, with a woolen afghan quilt pulled up as far as it will go), I saw Beckett asleep on his kitten mat in front of the fireplace. I immediately thought that it was a perfect shot for warm.
Of course, when the photo shoot commenced, the poor guy was awakened by the flash of numerous pictures being taken. Even then he wasn't willing to give up his spot. He was warm and he liked it!
Happy photo hunting!

I don't blame him! If I had a fireplace, that's about where you could find me too (well, at least until a hot flash hit).
Bummer about the laptop - you're the third person I know who has had laptop issues this week.

Kim - I guess we're posting at the same time. What the heck is with being awake at this time?
There is much to be said about lounging in front of the fireplace. I couldn't imagine NOT having one.
You really get to understnd how much we have come to depend upon tchnology when it is taken away from you, don't you!

Sorry to hear about technology challenges, Jerry.
Becket is certainly a good warm photo subject...
From another one who is awake at some ungodly hour in NorCal. :) And what is one to do when awake at 3AM? ... Check blogs, of course.

well, of course he wouldn't give up that very cozy spot. Nice take. Have a great weekend!

The cat sure love his spot. Cats are just warm seekers. Nice post.

Aww. You're right, it's perfect for warm. Keep that fire stoked for sweet Beckett. :)

What a handsome boy Beckett is! If we had a fire place that is exactly what we would do.
Happy Hunting and Happy Weekend.

Beautiful shot, Jerry. And I don't blame him, he looks so cozy.

Hi Jerry, great photo. I had to smile reading your post. You are so funny. Beckett looks like he really loves his little warm and comfortable spot near the fireplace. I love it!
Great post! Stay warm and have a great weekend!

Beckett looks perfectly comfortable in front of the warm fireplace.

He looks nice and cozy and warm in front of that fireplace.
Sorry to hear about your computer woes. I am keeping my old computer just in case I ever have problems with my new one. I also thought about the back up issue though since my new computer is on a newer system. At least I would have internet. Hope your new computer is fixed soon.

Looks so cozy. Beckett knows a good thing.

Beckett looks so comfy - and I bet you were too!
My desktop is acting really weird, as if it's getting ready to bite the dust, so I have been shopping on eBay for a desktop replacement laptop.
I hope you get your computer going again. It's hell to lose your data.

PS - I agree about fireplaces. I wouldn't live in a house without one!
