Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This flashback comes from August 2008 and is called:
When We Were Young.

These are old scanned photos that mum took with her non digital camera. We have always liked climbing ladders. This one didn't seem to go anywhere though.
When we got up there we just had to come back down again.
We like step ladders too. They are good for lying on when your dad wants to stand on them to cut the hedge.
And good for practising your acrobatics too.
And why bother with the steps when there is a straight side you can climb up?
When we had finished climbing, we would always have a rassle.
Or sometimes we would climb into the hedge and go up through the middle to sit on the top. This is a very good place for snoopervising as we are about nine feet up.
We are nearly two years old in these photos except the last one in which we were about 9-10 months old.


I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.


For this one I used Psychedelic at 90%, then added Sadness at 25%.


For the second one I started with Abstract 55%, then added Scribble at 40%.

  2. You are both brave adventuresome boys who certainly aren't put off by heights! Looks like fun though. And a good rassle is definitely a lot of fun. Mom's catwork is very nice. Looking forward to next week's flashback with accompanying art. Jean

  20. HAH! Love those ladder pics. It's a wonder Eric didn't topple the ladder. Heh heh. Our Faith loved to climb ladders. We have a 10-foot one but I stay away from it. Great art as usual.

  27. Way back when petcretary was a teenager, we taught our doggy how to climb a ladder...not a great idea, cuase he being a smart dude, climbed up a ladder to get at a box her dad had put there for safekeeping...oospie. Blacky saw it, climbed up, got it down and ripped it up, and spread the contents all over, after shredding that too. LOL! Daddy was not pleased.
    Another time he climbed a ladder while on the leash coming back form his walk with petcretary, and he went after the man who had come to paint the siding. He got the hem of his pants...
    The moral? Don't teach your dog tricks! Hahaha!

    Those two sure had skills! And they look so cute on top of the hedge.

  31. OMC! I don't know if we'd be brave enough to climb a ladder.

  32. Eric and Flynn were such amazing explorers! We love seeing them on those ladders. And rassling! :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. You boys had the right idea - " They are good for lying on when your dad wants to stand on them to cut the hedge." Mol, mol, mol!

    We love the art too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Those boys could climb; it looks like Flynn was always ready with a helping paw - until it came time to rassle...

    Did I read somewhere that it was Jackie's birthday this week? And so close to Ivor's? Happy birthday, Jackie: very many more to you!
