TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: POSE AND REPOSE!

Domino was busy doing her neighbourhood rounds when these pictures were captured.  My friend and neighbour, Susan, was visiting at the time and trotted across the street after her to get some closer shots.

This little roadside garden belongs to our mutual neighbours.  They are veteran gardeners and have extensive beds both front and back.  Even this small corner of their front yard is all SPRUCED up as you can see.  Later on, there will be flowers blooming in this spot, but for now Domino is lending her transitory beauty to the scene.



Domino treats our neighbours' proPURRties as if they were her own (because indeed she believes they are).


Always one to mug for the camera, Domino stares directly into the lens as she relaxes into position.



Ah!  This mound of dirt is very comfy ...


... and quite FURRagrant, too!



Domino is nothing if not down to earth!

She's going to have a little nap and dream of POSIES!

NOTE:  I have turned off the "Comments" because I just want everyone to enjoy seeing the blog.  It will be this way for the foreseeable future.

TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: BARBIE DOLL!

After yesterday, Domino was really looking forward to having 'Tuxy Tuesday' all to herself.

 "I'm out heer in da Peanut GAL-lery.  Yup, it's jus' us girls today!"


 "O NOES!!!"


"How dares yoo!" exclaims Domino.



"Yoo is introodin' on my post!  Today is fur tuxy cats onleh.  Is yoo a tuxy cat?  I fink not.  Is yoo a ladycat?   Defunitly not!!!  Yoo is a big lunk and yoo is stealin' my thundah.  I will deels wif yoo latah .. but for rite now    
I'm GONE!" declares an incensed Domino.




 "Bye GONE!" says Dante who is willing to let bygones be bygones.



 Still fuming, Domino makes her way over to the barbecue.



 Although Domino is very little, she certainly has a big PURRSona.  In an attempt to find a place where mancats will not follow she has decided to 'throw a little shrimp on the BARBIE'.



"Ahhhh!", says Domino.  Dat's more like it!"
"Now yoo may worship me.  I'm reeleh into I-DOLL-atry, speshully when I yam da DOLL!"
Isnt' she the cutest Barbie Doll you've ever seen?

This has turned out to be a pretty great Tuxy Tuesday after all.

3-D MANCAT MONDAY: THE INTERLOPURR!


Well, it's Mancat Monday and all of the 3-Ds are on the back deck.

 "No ladycats aloud!" declares Dylan, making his point.
 
"I'm HISStory!" hisses Domino.
 
Don't worry, she'll be back tomorrow for Tuxy Tuesday, when no mancats are aloud.  They'll just have to keep their mouths shut!

TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: TEXTURES OF SPRING

Well, it seems that Spring has finally arrived.  We thought it had last week, but then we had another dump of snow.  However, it didn't last long and now we are back on track.

So Miss Domino can be found outside on the deck bench thoroughly enjoying the warmer weather and the 'textures' of Spring.

With the exception of the first photo, I have applied different 'textures' to Domino's photos, just to change things up.


Though the trees are still barren, and vestiges of snow remain, Spring has been released to work its magic.




It gives Domino that warm and fuzzy feeling!




Sometimes Domino likes to look at things diagonally. 




And sometimes a little 'background Noise' does the trick!





Efurry now and then a girl likes to dream in Watercolours.




And hope that efurrything comes up roses!



Yes Domino -- your future is rosy, indeed!

TUXY TUESDAY WITH DOMINO: SHE'S VERY EFFECTIVE!

Not to be left out, Domino has done some of her most avant-garde posing -- all to great "effect".

 Domino in "Watercolour" ...


... or in "Oils" displays her softer side. 



 Domino in "Watercolour Pencil" ...



... or in a "Colour Engraving" is much more edgy -- don't you think?

Domino has been very effective in using special effects to portray different facets of her PURRSonality.  What a ladycat!

MANCAT MONDAY WITH DANTE AND DYLAN: SPECIAL EFFECTS

I've just gone crazy lately using special effects and frames to enhance my pictures.  Some of you may wish for the good old days, when I left them totally unadorned.  Ah well, I'm sure those days will come around again after I've had my fill of fun.


 Here is Dante drooling on Dylan, so methought it was appropriate to water the picture down with Watercolours.



 Dante has a PENchant for taking center stage, so I did this one in Watercolour PEN.  By the way his PEN chant is:  "Me first, me first, me first!"  "But I'm a close second", says Dylan (not to be ignored).





 Here Dylan is front and center -- well, actually front and left, as well as front and right, while Dante takes a passive role.  Don't worry, you're not seeing triple, this one is all an "Illusion" (effect, that is).






This may not be as exciting as Justin Timberlake's "Dick in a Box", but "Dylan in a Box" ain't too bad either.  Here, I've used both a "Pen" and a "Box" filter to corral him.

We hope we've had a PAWSitive effect on you today and that Spring is finally doing its thing where you live, too.
