The forget-me-nots are blooming in my back yard and it reminds me of all the memories I have of my cats pictured with the sweet blue flowers in one way or another, in this case growing in my windowbox. The photo on this card was a very lucky capture and a treasured memory, and though it’s not in my main dozen set of sympathy cards it was a request for a custom card several times. I thought those customers had a good idea and decided to just publish it as a card so no one would need to request a custom card again.
About Sophie and the photo
Sophie was always in one of the windows when I left and when I returned, and she always managed to use the curtains to dramatic advantage. This is one of my fondest memories of her, nestled in the creamy lace with the spring-blooming forget-me-nots in the windowbox.
So each year when I transplant the forget-me-nots from the yard to the windowbox I remember Sophie and this particular beautiful moment in 2005—May 4, 2005 to be exact. It was Sophie’s year to pose in forget-me-nots and she gave me many poses from the first two weeks of May, but of all of them, this is my favorite.
Sophie especially watched me leave the house, and in the evenings I closed my curtains before I left. She liked to play around with the curtain—I would inspect the lace to see her white fur through the mesh, or she dramatically appeared from between the panels, around the edge or underneath, but she was always there with her big round eyes.
On this day the forget-me-nots in the windowbox were in full flower and in the late afternoon the warm spring sun angled into the window imparting a creamy tone to the lace. Sophie began her little game with the curtain while I was still indoors and I started photographing even then. As I walked toward the street I turned around to get a last look at her and immediately pulled my little digital point-and-shoot back out of my purse and took as many photos of her peering through the curtain at me, the warm dappled light, the flowers below.
