Just Right

Sometimes, the lighting is just right, and my less-than-stellar photographic skills are able to capture Da Boyz purrfectly.

 Am thankful when the Sun God allows a boon or two.

Frosty

I liked the way the morning sunshine lit these two pieces of cat yard art.

The frost was glittery, so I ventured out to see what else looked like fun.

 

Even found a tiny bit of snow that hadn't melted yet, next to some green shoots.

Love the way frost makes patterns.

Cat Art: Salvador Dali

While recently visiting Detroit Institute of Arts, I snapped a few photos!

"Dalí Atomicus"

1948

"Salvador Dali, Paris"
Photograph by Willy Rizzo
1950 

And, while researching the photographs above, I discovered this one:

"Salvador Dalí with Babou the ocelot and his cane"
Photograph by Roger Higgins
c. 1965
Image grabbed from the interwebs

Official Salvador Dali website: Salvador Dali's Museums

From Wikipedia:

"Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol

(11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989), a Spanish surrealist artist."

A talented kook who liked cats!

Thankful Thursday: Friends Who Flock

This Thursday, I am thankful for my friend Beth.

Beth and I met at a cat adoption event. 

Since then, we've found that we enjoy a lot of the same things, in addition to felines:

The mystical side of life
The is a bone throw that I had a couple of years ago, which predicted Chucky's passing (see the cat totem laying outside of the circle?)

A great cup of tea!
This image is a cat teapot, cup, and strainer all in one!

Monarch Butterfly
We dig butterflies!

Beth inspires me to expand my photography skills, of which she has A LOT!

Beth also introduced me to her holistic veterinarian, and we are both believers in the work of chiropractors.  We like history, books and reading, and all things owl.

We are both adamant anti-declaw, and docking tails and ears.

Also, staunch adversaries of animal testing, and eating organic, natural foods.

I am thankful for Beth; we are birds of a feather who flock together!

Flashback Friday: Angel

"Who dat?"

This image was taken 14 years...and two iMacs...ago!  This was one of the only times that Angel paid any attention to the computer screen, and I'm glad I had my camera at hand to capture the moment.

With my new laptop, I have easier access to my thousands of photos, so I'll be flashing back more often.  Our kitties have made such a colossal impact on our lives, such as my desire for photography, The Hubby's need to sketch, and of course, this very blog.  Meeting all of you, getting to know your cats, their purrsonalities AND yours, is some of the bestest stuff on the planet, imho.

😻😻😻

Yikes!

BEWARE!

The following post contains photos of a PG-13 nature, probably really R-rated, so proceed with caution....

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

My friend CG gifted me with a book entitled "Men & Cats", by Marie-Eva Gatuingt and Alice Chaygneaud.

Cover

One luscious set of pages....

Sure, it has dozens of yummy photos of adorable cats, but WHOA!!! The photos of the 'MEN' are...well...er, um...rather EXPOSED!  I mean, like not a lot of clothes on!  The cats are perfectly attired, I might add.

What the hey?  Where am I supposed to stash this little book, CG? Oh yeah, sure...call it an 'art' book!  Uh-huh.  Good thing I've hidden it away in my cat book collection, so The Hubby won't find it!  He already knows I have a boyfriend, (Patty O'Malley), and if he thinks I'm drooling over...cat photos...well, I just don't want to think about it.

Did I already say, "YIKES!"
