This is Sherlock, a Snowshoe (Siamese) cat. Like the message on the PC screen says, the upgrade may take a while, so Sherlock decided to take a nap.
Based on the date of the photo, I took this with a Motorola moto g7.

You're IT manager is asleep on the job.
Basically , stuff like flare and CA irritate the hell out of me . Might be from learning to make offset plates when I was in college . Especially learning to do halftones . I actually have a 'test track' at a local historic site where I take new glass to find out what optical surprises lie within . I set the camera on a tripod , use a release , and make sure I'm there within an hour or so of noon . This sets up the sun to be just outside the upper left corner of the image , which makes any CA pop right up in some overhead wires just inside the frame . Every now and then surprises pop up , more so when I went from film to digital than now . The lens in question had been checked out when I got it and sailed through , so the flaws in the image were especially disconcerting .
There is a difference between unplanned chromatic aberration and flares and images shot with the idea of deliberately including/introducing them....

This was a dinosaur exhibit at Leu Gardens, an historic homestead in Orlando, FL. This is one of 15 exhibits set-up throughout the gardens with maps for kids (and adults) to locate. Was nice that each exhibit was well separated and appeared in a natural state within the lush gardens.
The Sordes was from the Jurassic Period. Only one fossilized remain has been found.
While technically was a photo club outing showed up. First was a weather dud and myself and two people showed up, then rescheduled. I have an annual pass and went both times for 'free'. While my favorite is to walk around with an 85mm prime, unless touring the house (16-35mm) that is about to re-open after 2 years of hurricane repairs, I limited myself to a 50mm macro Nikon/Sony adapted (no electronics/full manual and focus) fogged up glasses with the mask and post rain humidity resulted in about 50% "acceptable" photos in sharp focus. Returned with a 70-200 on the second outing.
Had several POTD, and the forum system will merge today's...so here it is - with the 70-200, obviously. Previously posted one full body running through the bamboo forest. The map notes this one is a Daspletosaur.

Yesterday, in post #477, I added a picture showing my IT Manager, Sherlock, sleeping beside a Window laptop. Thanks to @MacNut for the IT Manager name. 
Below is a picture of Sherlock "helping" me upgrade a 2009 MacBook from an HDD to an SSD. Not sure if he was more help than the glass of wine...

This one is super malty, some nice caramel/burnt sugar kind of sweetness & some bourbon whiskey notes, albeit probably not as prominent as when it was first released.
Really wanted to get some video of the train moving along the tracks, but it sat still until the sky got too dark to really make it exciting. Here's a still pulled from a fairly boring video.
Big skies again in Morayshire.Looking towards the cairngorms from The Buck. iPhone XR panorama again (which introduced a rather dramatic curve this time)
