Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.
This week the flashback is to bring a taste of Spring to all those who have had the heavy snowfalls.
It is from April 2012 and is called:
Spring Patrol.
We are on our patrols again and thought we would check out the wildflowers. These are forget-me-nots which are not really a wild flower, but they are growing wild here in the field.
We don't know what this flower is, but we think it is pretty.
We call this the "Vishus Deer Tree".
It's branches are soft and furry like the velvet on a vishus deer antlers. We don't know what it is called either or how it got here. We think a bird must have dropped a seed at some time.
We had a quick look over to where the badgers live, but didn't go over there.
Checked a few smells........
Phew! It's further to climb back up than I thought.
Then we relaxed in the sun.
Flynn: And I kept a close eye on Eric's shadow in case it jumped on me.
I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.
I used the photo with both boys. I am not really happy with it and started over three times. I think the problem is that there is not enough contrast where Flynn is and he was disappearing into the background.
I ended up using Scribble at 35% followed by Gaugin at 50% and finished with Landscape at 40%.
I decided to do another picture and this time used Starry Night from the Deep Dream Generator. At least Flynn's head didn't disappear into the background this time!
Of course there is also the puzzle.

We love the final outcome! It's just lovely. Have a great weekend!
They were excellent pawtrollers, fur sure.
What a good post. It is also nice to see a Spring post in the middle of Winter. Gives us lots to look forward to.
Those boys really loved their patrols :)
Mum will look forward to the puzzle ;)

What a nice patrol! Lots of cool things to see.
we wait for a spring patrol too... it's icy cold today, but the first daffodil is out... shall we trust the plant or the thermometer?
Such handsome and brave boys!
They were very dedicated patrollers heheh!
Love the art :-)
Have an artistictastic weekend :-)
Nicely done and the boys' sniff and snoop patrol is every cat's fantasy.
We love seeing the boys when they patrolled. We really like the second art picture. But then they are all good. You all have a fantastic day.
It always seems funny seeing kitties outside. Our cats have to stay in the house, and we never see any out and about in our area.
Love both of the "end results" - and just for the record - those boys ALWAYS look gorgeous no matter what artsy things are done to their photos....when you're that handsome - you STAY that handsome!!!!
Hugs, Pam
Flynn was smart to watch that shadow!!! We like the artwork. We'll be back to do the puzzle.
The Florida Furkids
Those two explorers always had so much fun! Your art sure is pretty!
Wonderful memories. We have ours too with our wonderful Little Bit. We miss her so.
I'm so ready for spring. I'm tired of the cold and the dreary.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
Leave those badgers alone! I'm off to puzzle!

Looks like it was a lovely day out! What beautiful shots!
Ah, spring; look at all the freshness and greenery the boys must have loved.
What a lovely outing that was!
We like both artworks! And of course we love seeing the brothers.
OMC! I don't want Flynn's head to disappear!
Thank you so much for posting a springtime flashback. We are having a heavy snowfall as we type this.
It is so cold here, it's nice to be able even to THINK about Spring. Those are lovely artworks.

Ah, sweet spring and sweet kitties enjoying it. Can't wait until spring rejoins us. Although we haven't had snow, it's 50F and raining all day but then supposed to be below freezing by morning. Sigh. Crazy weather. Love the artwork! I think I actually prefer the first one. I really like the soft browns and blues. Have a wonderful weekend!
We loved the final two photos with each of the boys enjoying the sunshine, and we like both "arty" photos, the second one being our favorite. We received your holiday greeting card today. Thanks so much for thinking of us. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
What a lovely place to explore! The boys obviously had great adventures together. It's so nice to see :)

I LOVE the picture of the boys with the Forgetmenots and I LOVE both pieces of art...especially Starry Nights. And the puzzle was difficult.
Love Barn
Beautiful pictures! Especially as we're expecting 18-24" of snow!
I love forget-me-nots. Beautiful photos and art. I can't wit to do the puzzle. XO
All thos pretty flowers are nice. And nice to see that the Boys liked them too.
The beginning of spring is a wonderful season, we love to see nature waking up, and it looks like the boys enjoyed it too ! Purrs
Such adventures! We look forward to Spring (it is cold and icy here today), and appreciate this flashback of your handsome Angels Eric and Flynn.
We think the photos were purrty darn good! And we love the spring flashback. Just what we need with the cold
Purrs dear friends
Timmy and Family
It's so cold, this spring flashback was perfect!
That is FANTASTIC art--so beautiful and dreamy. We lubs it! Also, that was such a cute picture of Eric a-sleeping on the tower in the previous post! XOXO
Thanks for the taste of spring! We need it here in Toronto--minus 30 Celcius!
WOW boys, I love both of those pictures! I love the effects! Gaugin is a fave as is the Deep Dream. Thanks to your momma for letting us know what she uses for these. XXXX
I really love the first one, mainly because I love how the boys do merge into the swirl of colour just a little.
Great jigsaw too!
