As a photographer, I’m sensitive to changing landscapes, and Bedlam Farm’s landscape is constantly changing. The newest thing is seeing a cat, which appears in almost every landscape photo I take.

Zip has an almost surreal sense of when to get himself into a photo, and I see him as a permanent part of our landscape more and more. He is everywhere, all the time, a happy and healthy creature. He is the master of all the surveys he does.

I wonder if he isn’t also a ham who loves to have his picture taken. There seems to be no part of the farm where he doesn’t pop up and isn’t at home, the only exception being the road, which he never goes anywhere near. He is a smart ham.
