Blog EntryPicture Perfect ~ "Shadow"Feb 21, '08 4:51 PM
for everyone

They do this,Chloe the calico and her brother,Lyman Cady (named after an old school chum of my Dad's.) They have staring contests,and they were at it last night.Sitting there on the arm of the couch,they stared into each others eyes,just stared.I wonder what were they  thinking? Is it like when people do this? Is it the first one who blinks or looks away who wins? Anyway,I snapped a pic,and then later when I saw the subject of today's "Picture Perfect"  was "Shadow," I thought,well,there are shadows in this pic.There is the shadow that Lyman casts upon his sister,and there is her shadow on the wall. They are so close as to be each others shadows. Cats are shadowy creatures,anyway,creeping about in the dark,hiding in the shadows,silent as a whisper.

 

Staring contest

~ Each week a theme will be posted up on Wednesday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be just

 ONE and ORIGINAL,

 i.e not off the internet,

Then come back and post a comment on this page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway! Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

The entries will close at midnight on Friday.

Play nice....and have fun out there!

Thanks! If Lyman looks a little moth-eaten,it's because he's a compulsive groomer,and so his hair is a bit thin in back.He needs Valium!

As soon as I figure out how to use my camera again I will start adding some of my own works of art. This picture of the cats staring each other down/shadows on the wall is dreamy.

Great shot and hard to do too, cats never sit still long... only sleep still for long... :)

OMG that is utterly adorable!!! I have a special soft spot for calico kitties with pink noses! :) How funny that they do that, since animals usually get nervous with intense eye contact. And this is a great take on this theme, I love it!

They do it all the time.They really do love each other.They have a sister Annabelle,another calico,but she's not as close to them as they are to each other.

Purrrfect pic for the theme! LOL I love it. Stare downs! I think it is the standoff thing. When we had kittens they would do this right before all war! LOL

Almost looked like a mirror picture. Nice shot Tammy.

Cold out: I got to pet both Rama and Bob(the cat) when most days they only look to me to fill the food dish. Ha. Warm weather is coming I hope.

Hey, this is sooo cute. Great job with capturing this precious fun moment.
I never know that some cats could have this attitude.
Are they communicating telepathically? Ehehehehehe... just wondering.

Thx for stopping by at my PPF entry for this week.
Have a fun weekend there (^_^)v

Oh that is too funny... My cat sits and stares at me too. I stare back. The first one to blink loses ; ) I usually beat the cat. She has a shorter attention span haha!
