Sadly, earlier this week Crockett had a tragic accident and tomorrow would have been his 5th Gotcha Day. I am joining all those who love and miss him and dedicate this post to him.
We miss you, Crockett.
This week the flashback comes from August 2012 and the photos were taken during one of our hotter summer's days.
Relaxing in the Grass.
Flynn: We were out walking and the sun was getting hot but there weren't any trees close by to get in the shade. The next best thing is to lie down in long grass and that will cool you down.
It looks like Eric has found a better spot.
Hi Eric, mind if I join you?
Ah yes, this is much better.
You still there Eric? I can't see you.
Eric: Of course I'm still here.
Now I can't see you Flynn.
You know what Flynn, I think I want the spot that you've got.
Eric: Well if you won't let me have that spot I will sit here and sulk until you do move.
I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art and used the next to last photo.
I used Lunapic as usual and started with Fairy at 40%, then added Picasso also at 40%. I have felt that my art has been turning out too similar each week so added Frost at 50%.
It turned out much darker than usual and I am not really happy with it.
I saved it, then removed the Frost effect and added Flow at 50%
I have made both into puzzles.
I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for Feline Friday.

That was some fun grassing with those boys! Love the art too.
ReplyDeleteThat was some serious high grass to play and hide in!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely looked comfy in that grass.
ReplyDeleteAh! Bless!xx True brotherly love! 🐾🐾🐾
ReplyDeleteFlynn was very intelligent to use the high grass to get some shade heheh!they seemd to enjoy bathing in the shade there :-)
ReplyDeleteThe artwork stands out doesn't it :-)
Have an artistictastic weekend
We were always a bit jealous of you two being able to romp in that fine brass!! What a pawsome memory :)

Cool green grass is wonderful and I'm certainly taking advantage of it lately. A nice lie in the sun in the grass is SOOO nice - a bonus is that the grasshoppers are out and I can leap on one when it passes by! Such GREAT flashback photos of the ginger twins....
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
Oh Eric and Flynn you two were hunkered down in the cool grass just waiting for the buffet to come to you.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Absolutely love the fourth photo down, the one in which the two are lying, each in their little grass oasis!
ReplyDeletecats nesting in the grass...looks like they had a fine time!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good spot to get in the shade. We have lots of tall grass here too. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLove this flashback! Can imagine the grass smelled wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteThose two look like they were great buddies! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your flashbacks. Precious memories.

ReplyDeleteThat grass looked super cool. I bet it was thick and cushy and so comfortapurr to lie in on a hot summer day. Love these photos!
ReplyDeleteyour artwork is beautiful and I always loved watching your boy's adventures in the lush green grass!
ReplyDeleteI love these shots! Must've been such a nice feeling for them to lounge on that grass!
ReplyDeleteSuch lush grass. I'd want to play in it, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat one wants, the other wants, it's the way of it. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThose look like some cool spots to lay in. We cats always want to sit right where another is. Love the art and all the great photos
ReplyDeleteSuch cuties. I love how they were always together. Thank you for 2 puzzles- I was the slowest, but I had fun :) XO
ReplyDeleteYou do the best art. TW would be afraid I'd bring home fleas if I went in high grass like that.
ReplyDeleteThose boys were sure having fun that day! Love the art, the colors are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteDear Eric and Flynn...I know you two Gingers were there waiting to hug your fella Ginger angel Crockett.
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia

Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Lovely art and purrfect for Wear Orange for Crockett.
ReplyDeleteThose boys sure had a lot of fun in that tall grass. We like to roll in the plush grass too. Ours is getting super long with all the rain. But Mom won't let us out to play since we have lots and lots of storms here today:(
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
We've been heartbroken over Crockett all week. So glad the cat blogosphere is honoring him this way.

What great spots you found in that grass, Angels Eric and Flynn. The green against your gorgeous orange furs is so striking.
ReplyDeleteThank you for remembering Crockett. XO
Orange kitties make for a great Orange For Crockett tribute!
ReplyDeleteWe like the brighter version of your art the best:)
Cute photos of the kitties playing in the grass :)
ReplyDeleteWe miss your orange boys.
ReplyDeleteI like the brighter colors for the boys.
ReplyDeleteEric and Flynn, you handsome orange boys! I know you were waiting for little Crockett. I know you showed him around and made him feel welcome. XXX
The last one, where you added the Flow at 50%, I think is just beautiful. I really like what you did with it. Your sweet boys always knew how to get comfy and enjoy themselves. I can just imagine how cool that grass felt down against the ground. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a ginger tribute to dear Crockett.
ReplyDeleteTwo gingers in the tall, green grass. Could there be anything better? - Tom x
ReplyDeleteOrange kitties are just the best! I think cats love to hide in tall grass...maybe they think they are in a jungle!
ReplyDeleteI do like the brighter picture, too. :)
We know that Crockett was reading this from the bridge. And we know his family really appreciated it here.
ReplyDeleteyour boys are perfect in their natural orange, I am sure they are protecting Crockett at the Bridge........it is beyond tragic and so heartbreaking. He will be deeply missed but always loved as your boys are xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou boys always make me smile, and sometimes laugh, too. But sharing the brotherly love is a good thing, but I do think there was loads of that grass to go around MOL I am totally envious of that grass, by the way, as we have very little long enough lay in and hunt the mice.
ReplyDeleteLots of purrs
ERin
Love to watch kitties in the long grass! Sweetie loves it so much, that The Hubby has left an area of tall grass just for her edification! She's so cute, napping in her private jungle.
ReplyDeletePushing yer way down to the cool ground sure does help cool us off.
ReplyDeleteLike it, cats having fun
ReplyDeletesuch very sad news about Crockett!
