the rescue cat

this was a photo shoot was filled with firsts. i have been wanting to replicate this idea for awhile- i saw it first on one of my favorite photo blogs (blue lily). they are an inspiration to me-in their way of life, their creative ideas and their gorgeous photography. so, on a monday after work i made bobby pile up as many mattresses as possible in the truck and haul them out to the meadow. we covered them with all the quilts i have confiscated from my mom and the girls seemed to be having a great time. it wasn't until a little later in the shoot that grace declared that this was the 'worst day of her life' (another first for me). luckily, darrell, one of our new cats found us among the prairie grass and cheered up this tired girl. he has never made an appearance during a photo shoot before-so he must have known he was needed :)
