This week all my pictures are from today. Some taken with my DSLR and some with my phone. The motives are familiar: Solan, view and a little weather.
We start off with the regatta on the fjord:
In the lead
While the sailors were getting cold Solan was playing.
And getting recharged…
Then there were more sailboats and the passenger ship Finnmarken.
And then it started snowing so badly that we could hardly see the houses close to us.
As I write this the snow is gone, I can see glimpses of blue sky between the clouds and Solan is giving himself a bath.
To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme you must post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken and then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky at that Saturdays Snapshot post at At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and can be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. All Alyce asks is that you don’t post random photos that you find online.
That blue water is wonderful! What an incredible view. And Solan looks like he’s having great fun.
Hm, I’m still disturbed by the flurries :-/
Yeah, me too, but getting over it
What a beautiful cat! Lively indeed. And the boats and the water are lovely. And snow in May. Here in Texas, we’re up above 90 degrees and will likely stay that way until probably late October or November. Sigh.
We all have weather complaints
Fun pictures!! Lots of adventure!!

What a change from beautiful skies to snow. Love the little snippets of Solan in between the other shots.
Thanks for sharing!
It was a bit of a shock seeing snow after those beautiful boats on the sea. Solan certainly looks comfy after all the jumping around.
I adore Solan! Your photography of the sailing boats and ship are wonderful. It’s 90+ degrees where I am at and was surprised to see the snow.
A bit of an unpleasant surprise to us too, but definitely not unknown at this time of year. 90+ sounds a bit too hot
Solan is a most handsome cat – very striking! we’ve had changeable weather too – but not so extreme.
What a topsy turvy world. The sun looks so warm then the snow comes down so hard. Great action shots of Solan. Here’s Mine
It is hard to imagine these photos are from the same day – from sailing to snow! I love the shot of the cats paw pushing off the cushion!
A bunch of shots and a few turned out good. That’s the way with playing cats. I’ve no idea what they did before digital cameras
What great pictures once again! I got excited about the sailboats but then . . . snow?! What’s going on over there? It looks a lot like Ontario
I’ve always wanted to see a fjord! Beautiful photos.
Brrr! It does look cold on the fjord but the water is such a beautiful blue!
I love Solan and the bright orange cushion! I’m shocked though at the turn in the weather – it looked like such a beautiful day and suddenly snow and lots of it?! WOW!
What a great assortment of photos!
Here are my British Snapshots
Ah, I bet those boats in motion were a sight to see!
What exciting variety in your day! I love the regatta photos, but I think my favorites are the cat dashing across that orange chair.
What a great way to spend the day!! I love water, boats and snow!! Looks like Solan had a great time too!
How beautiful! Don’t ever tell me where you live, because I’ll show up to “visit” and never leave!
Solan is a handsome feline specimen.
Love the sailboats! And Solan having fun! And…snow?? It’s 80-some degrees here and feels like the deepest dog-days of summer instead of early May.
Here’s my Snapshot
Love the water and sailboat shots. Also, you cat looks like he got quite a workout today..LOL
Solan, the cat who loves to play.
Did the snow spoil the regatta?
No way. Norwegian sailors aren’t scared by a little snow
I wish that cats could converse with us because I think they would have great one liners.
I love the photo of Solan taking a nap. It’s Sunday afternoon here… I think Solan had a wonderful idea!
A regatta and snow flurries? Such beauty and opposites on the same day amazes me! Lovely-lovely pictures.
I love these shots, but ESPECIALLY those of Solan.
WOW — that is a cat on the move.
98% of ANY shots of my own ragdoll Jack would be like the last one…… total snoozeville!
Is Solan…….. solar powered?
I don’t think so, he seems to move equally well when it’s raining
It’s just that I love to try to take pictures of him when he’s racing around, so much more fun and challenging than the “pose” shots. You need good light, AF-servo and a fast shutter speed, and you can’t be too fuzzy about the background. Whatever’s there is there.
There’s comparatively few shots of cats in action out on the interwebs, probably because they’re harder to get, but I love it when I see some. It’s fun to see how agile the cats really are.
