CATURDAY ART

 

Above: original photo, one I liked very much and just thought it was clean and interesting unto itself, but still might be an image to "play" with.

Below: the altered version.  Using Adobe Creative Cloud, a light yellow/orange overlay of the satin tool to mimic sunlight.  The "satin" tool is basically somewhat automatic, available in various shapes - you simply select the shape you like - that lay atop your image, then choose the percentage of color you want applied.  After this first step, I then used the "dodge" tool to highlight June's face and belly furs to return them to her more original white coloring.

THE WATCHERS

Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, mine Mommy watches me.
(Evidence: all the photos she takes of me.)

Sometimes, I watch mine Mommy.

(No evidence: sans thumbs I can't work the camera phone.)

 

Just a few minutes ago, I was enjoying a nice little cat nap here in this chair.  

Suddenly, I was rudely awakened by all this
clatter from our hallway and when I looked over that way all I could see was
her big butt sticking out of the hall closet and assorted things being tossed out

and scattered on the floor behind her behind.  What now?  Again?

You see, here's the thing (secret, don't tell I told) whenever she gets bored,

she's starts cleaning, or tidying (things that are already clean or tidy) or

reorganizing things reorganized only a short time ago.  

Me, I just have to put up with it.

And so, as I'm watching her and before I can swish a tail,

she's watching me, and out comes that camera ...

and you guessed it:

This is the picture of me watching her.

We are the watchers.

WEDNESDAY WORD: FILL IN THE BLANK

FILL IN THE BLANK ____________ IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED, WITH YOUR CHOICE OF A WEDNESDAY WORD.

 

WATCHING. WAITING.

Sometimes when mine Mommy is fixing foodz for me,

I'll sit here on my little tube-tunnel, peek into the kitchen and watch and wait.

Sometimes mine Mommy gets distracted, and starts to do something else.

Like make herself a cup of coffee.  Or pour herself a glass of coke.

Or do some dishes ... she gets furgetful.

Then I have to sit inside my little tube-tunnel.

I have to exercise patience.

And wait.

And wait.

Meow.
