Sunday Selfie with Tigger (aka Sparky)


It's what you might call a mistake!
But it was definitely only one take!
Come on, just give me a break
At least you can tell I'm not fake! ;)

We are joining Kitties Blue once again for the Sunday Selfie blog hop.

Austin goes to pieces!


I was jigsawed in Pho.to and then I was framed!
The things I do for Art!
It's a tough life!

We are joining Athena and Marie in the Caturday Art blog hop (see below)

Work of Art - a creative product with strong imaginative or aesthetic appeal
Something created by someone called Arthur. Isn't necessarily pretty!

Long Tall Austin!

(photo originally on Instagram)

Now what can I smell over here?
It certainly seems rather queer!
It's making me sneeze!
It's that stinky cheese,
The typist's so fond of; Oh dear!

Caturday Arrrrt, Me Hearties!

Shiver me timbers and swashbuckle me sprogs. 
It's that time again, you scurvy old dogs!
Avast and Ahoy! Let's play the odd prank.
If you don't toe the line, you shall walk the plank!

Me Roger is jolly and I've saved me some booty.
But I can never sit down on my cutie patootie!
The mutinous crew rise up and steal all
And then they vote that me they'll keelhaul!

The moral here is plain, it's no shocker!
If you don't want to be thrown in Davy Jones' Locker.
Treat your mateys fair and give them their due.
And then they will not yo-ho-ho you!
  
Yes, it's THAT time of year again, when we forget all semblance of normality and talk like Long John Silver on speed! It's Meow like a Pirate day!

The Staff made me and Tigger and Mini-Me dress up and look really stoopid, but that's ok, we can rise above that. What we can't rise above is the telescope which is stuck to my eye with no visible means of support! MOL. The Staff used pretty well every photo editor in existence for this and she still couldn't get it right. Bless! But we give her ten out of ten for trying :)

There is a big pirate pawty going on at Speedy's all this weekend. Just click on the image below to check it out.


We are also joining in with Athena and Marie's Caturday Art blog hop which might or might not be pirate related! Click on the badge below to take a look see.

Many of you have had your picture sketched by Mr Thomas Clausen of "One Drawing Daily". You can see mine over in the side bar. Well, did you know he now also does commissioned pet portraits?

He has a specially designated web site, so you can check it out for yourselves. The portraits are indeed very good. You can visit him here.

I can't look!

Sometimes a kitty just has to avert his eyes!

Sunday Selfie with Adjustments!


I dunno! I got the tripod, timer, lighting, exposure, focus, aperture and the rest of the gubbins all set up! I adopt a suitably casual and relaxed pose and the selfie turns out looking like it was taken by a frazzled human on their phone, in the dark, while passing by on their way to the kitchen! 

What do you mean "Duh?"

Anyways, that explains my somewhat shifty expression! Do you think anyone will notice if I put a nice frame around it?

Despite the dubious provenance, we are once again joining The Cat on My Head for their Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.  You can click on the link below to see other submissions. :-)
