Art Photos

 
I'm still having fun with my new Canon Power Shot camera that Tom got me for my birthday. I really like the Color Accent and Super Vivid modes but my favorite is the Color Swap mode where you substitute one color for another. I still don't really know what I'm doing, though, and I've gotten some very unexpected results!

Only the pink tones inside his ears and on his nose showed up. I love this! 

Color Swap: 
Oops, I accidentally turned Fergus the same color as my bathrobe! 
A pink Tabby! 
  
Demon Cat (Yikes!) 
 
A kind of greenish Fergus but the orange stripes are still intact. I have no clue how I did this and would never be able to replicate it again!

Happy New Year!

  January has always been my least favorite month of the year, and so it follows that New Year's Day is my absolute least favorite holiday of the year. With all of the excitement of Christmas behind us for another year and another couple of months of cold weather looming in, I usually end up with a big case of the blahs on New Year's Day. However, I took the boys to the mall to play inside since it was cold and rainy out, and we had a really fun time. Their wackiness is a great cure for the Winter blues! 


 

 

  

 


Both Dougal and Fergus were caught climbing the Christmas tree a few times in December and got in big trouble for it. But as the tree was coming down in early January, I figured it didn't really matter much if Fergus got to have one more fling. He was having so much fun that when I finally tried to get him down, he let out a deep growl and then hissed at me!
