More animal pictures

My muse flew yesterday and I didn't get any farther on Mrs. Kaneko's quilt. As someone said, it has enough interest on its own and doesn't need a busy border. If I'd had more of the stash fabric I could have made the outer edges wider... but that was all I had. I tried auditioning a white along the edge but it really moved the eye away from the blocks. So I've folded Mrs. Kaneko's quilt up and it is again draped over the back of a chair... looking lonely.

So another cat picture. Cat and dog! With Choco in the house more this winter she becomes a new subject for photography. I know... You are getting tired of seeing the same cats on the same sofa! If I'd known I was going to take so many pictures of my 20 year old-stuffing-coming-out-of-the-arms-broken-springs-sofa, I would have bought a new sofa! But if I'd bought a new sofa then I wouldn't be letting the cats and dog sit on it!

Yes, that is one, two, three, four cats and a dog!

Choco: "Don't pay any attention to me. I'll just take this corner over here..."

Love the animal pictures! The 'conversation' picture was classic! Thanks for the smiles!

Oh Tanya I'm laughing so hard - Choco looks like she's trying to be as small as she can! I think you need another couch, for YOU!

This photo is great. I love how Choco has her back turned to the cats like she's ignoring them. If she can't see them then they aren't really there.

Tanya, another great picture of your 4-legged kids...I really do believe you could..and should..publish a book of your photos, with appropriate captions below each photo..and I believe adults and kids would really want it..I know I would..My Mom gave me the gift of a tiny book when I was child, that had pictures of cats and kittens, dressed in kids clothing...different themes, like a straw hat and fishing pole on one..all black and white, of course, as it was 1947..but I loved and STILL love that little book..the animals were posed, I suppose, by someone behind, holding them in various positions...hugs, Pat in IN.
