In the Oven?

 

Dood's in the oven again!  There is a small table in front of the heat vent that forms a perfect little spot to collect the heat.  We call this the oven, and it is one of Dood's favorite spots during the winter.  I know it's because it is warm and toasty in there when the heat runs. During a warm spell when I switched to air conditioning, he chose other cozy spots. When the temperature dropped this week and I turned the heat on again, he gravitated back to the table. 

I wanted to get a good picture of him in there, so I put the camera on the floor and just as I pushed the button, Sophie walked by. Instead of a botched picture, I thought it was an interesting perspective.

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.

Beretta (a.k.a. the Stalker Kitty)

The lovely Beretta, from next door, is modeling our quote today.  She is blissfully unaware that she is laying on an ant nest.  Rest assured she has too much residual kitten energy to hold that position for long.

A Pretty Face

I took a picture of Sophie.

I'm so pretty!

Then I applied the brush stroke technique
in Paint Shop Pro.

I could be a painting.

This gives it an Impressionist look.

Isn't she lovely?

Quote of the Week

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon. - Konrad Adenauer

Minnesota

These two places are over 1,600 miles apart yet connected by the same land, beneath the same sky.  Our earth is an amazing place with so many different sights - oceans, mountains, plains, and deserts.  A lifetime of horizons upon which to gaze.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell
