Remember how I’d previously tried to capture smell in a photograph? Well, today I’m going to attempt something even more difficult with my Happy Day photo: to transmit the warm, rumbling, companionable sound of Oscar’s purr as he lounged on my desk this afternoon, commanding my attention and love in the form of pats and scritches.
100 Happy Days – Day 19
Felix has a fairly subtle purr, but I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that Oscar’s can be heard from across the room! He certainly is a loud, loving, demonstrative boy, and it makes me happy every time I hear that friendly sound.
Moving on now… to the remainder of my September Photo A Day Challenge pics.
I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos here on Alphabet Salad for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on any of these platforms.
Hope you enjoy!
(Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to my Flickr account… and, depending on your browser, hovering over them will give you – in some cases – an explanation as to how I interpreted the prompt.)

September, 2014
Now, it’s on to the October Photo A Day Challenge, which just happens to be featuring a series of prompts rather dear to my blogging heart… please check them out, and consider joining in on another month of creativity!
But in the meantime…
What made you happy today?
Please share!
September Storey
Clever kittie practicing impending photo bomb;
Laurel spies from a corner, clever Cat Mom;
Manual keys, the way we typed it back then;
With the stroke of a pen, let the zen begin.
Customized existentialist eye test chart,
Appling sampling is off to a good start;
Cat speak, silent, to secret Morris code;
Crank it up, with your bass down low mode.
Feline perusing from high atop bannister.
How I wish I was designated taste tester.
All the best ribbons but where are the bows?
How to make this ball roll, Heaven only knows.
I wish (sniff) wind would blow the other way.
I’d really like to visit True North some day.
September left it marks on both heart and mind.
Now as I look back in a star gaze and I find,
All emotions and reactions, patterned A to Z.
This is how the Storey goes, for you and me.

Wow! I just finished blogging about fall – a subject that makes me happy (until I remember what follows fall.) I’ve never investigated Instagram but now I may (if I ever get a new phone – because my present one is so clogged with photos I couldn’t possibly get another app on there). I pinned a couple of the photos, too.

Loved your post, esp. Oscar’s picture. What a lovely cat. Can almost hear him purring. Cats just have a way of inviting themselves into your lives and ultimately making everyone their master. We once had a big white cat show up at our door. He took to curling up in the oval shaped chocolate brown porcelain bathroom sink. For the entire time that cat lived with us we were limited to one sink, the other one belonged to him. Every visiting guest would poke their head in the bathroom and say Hi to Simon. They are all so special in their own way, for sure.
