Nezzie with Mouse

Throw back Thursday!  This is one of my all-time favourite photos.  It was taken in Ecuador in 2005.  I was staying with my friend Yves at his permaculture homestead in the Andean mountains (a place called "Sacred Suenos").  There were no panes in the windows or doors in the door frames of the straw bale house we lived in, nor was there great need for them.  On this night, while we sat around playing cards, Nezzie the cat brought a mouse in that she had caught, to play with a bit.  She was told to remove it from the house but when she refused Yves took hold of the situation.  I lifted my camera as they were passing and caught this decisive moment, ever to be remembered.
