I was playing with Fitzand at the park when I saw this cute cat. Took some shots of it and almost had my new Lumix 20mm lens &#8216;killed&#8217;. I was pretty close to it and suddenly the kitty reached out and tried to paw my lens! Luckily I was fast enough to escape some scratches on the lens. Phew. Maybe I should consider getting a good UV filter for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/miscellaneous-digital\/parkcat2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/miscellaneous-digital\/parkcat1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not sure what was going on in my fuzzy eyeballs &#8230; this next one seems a little underexposed.
