Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the flashback comes from September 2009 and is called:

I Spy!

 Shhh I am being stealthy. I haf spied sumfing in our field that's not yooshully there.
 Look it's big fev-vers. We don't yooshully git ducks like that here, they are yooshully   smaller mallards.
 Here comes back up. Flynn has spied him too, and Mr. Duck duzn't efun know we're   watching him.
Uh-oh, he's just seen us. Now we're haffing a three way stare down.

 Note from mum:
 The duck was very tame, probably from the local strawberry farm. He let me   pick him up, and at the third attempt I got him to fly away, "fev-vers" intact.

 I am joining Athena, The Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.

 
 I used Homer at 70% followed by Psychedelic at 35%.

  2. It was a stand-off, but good that the ducky was able to make it away safe and sound.

  5. I tell you boys, it was a good thing that ducky didn't try to pluck some fur out of your fluffy tails.

  9. I'm glad the three-way stare down didn't end with fev-vers flying. Mom to the rescue! You boys sure have a lot of fun. Mom's catwork is very intriguing and detailed. I hope Mom and Dad are doing well. Until next time...Jean

  10. All's well that ends well. The boys had their fun and the duck got home safely!

  11. Such an interesting scenario to highlight! And highlight it you did. Your art serves to enhance the three main subjects. They are easier to see and appreciate amongst the copious grasses. It is certainly a memorable encounter to preserve.

    Instead of duck, duck, goose, you could title this one: Cat, Cat, Duck.

  12. Awww, that duck wanted to be a friend to the boys. Glad there was no feather gathering:)

  13. You're right about Ginger Jasper, one of the few I remembered. Thanks.

  14. Ooo, I wonder how that stare down ended!

  15. I'm so glad you stared at the duck but that your mother got it to fly off before you could chase or scare it. They can be quite nice friends if you're nice to them.

    Thank you for joining Feline Friday!

  16. I don't think my cats would be so calm at the sight of a duck. LOL. Recently a cardinal landed on the balcony. Bell started "talking" to it, but Fiona lunged at the balcony door. (It was closed.) I haven't seen a cardinal here since then. Lol. :)

  17. What a great sequence of pics! Have a great weekend!

  18. WOW - now that's a BIG BIRD! How fun it must have been to "stalk" him before your Mum got him......you boys look like tigers in the jungle!

    Hugs, Teddy

  19. That sure is one cool looking duck. Mom and dad went for a hike on a new trail near our home the other day and stood for a few minutes on an overlook facing out over Asheville, watching a hawk soaring lazily this way and that.

  20. Good capture, Mom. Referring to all the photos of course ~ but also to your ability in safely capturing duck and removing him from the about-to-be lunch table ...
    Sorry kitties on patrol, not today!

  21. Oh my cod! That's the cutest thing to see them tag teaming on the bird. What a great life they had in the fields. So wonderful. xo

    ReplyDelete
  22. What a fun adventure for all of you. We are glad Eric and Flynn got to see something novel, and that the duck was able to keep all of its fevvers. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. The duck did not look too worried. Maybe he lives with cats.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Lovely art. We are glad there were no feathers flying!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Cute flashback. I am glad the duck survived. Thank you for the puzzle. XO

  26. You guys had it surrounded (sort of). But ducks can be mean...

    BTW, we just noticed yer sidebar graphic fer Marley. Thank you!

  27. We are glad no feathers were lost and no kitties were injured. Ducks, chickens and geese are vicious animals that scare us silly.

    ReplyDelete
  28. We are glad you managed to have fun without any actual damage to that Duckie.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thank goodness all "fevvers" were intact!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Whew! I'm glad the duck was all right. He may have been a bit too big for the boys to handle, anyway. Ducks can be pretty strong. But I did like the stand-off picture and that the boys worked together. What a team they were.

  32. believe it or not but that photos of the two of them stalking the duck reminds me so much of a photo i have of lions hiding in the tall grass stalking a zebra (he also made an escape!)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Flynn and Eric meant business, whether it was going to be a success or not...good thing you rescued the duck!

    ReplyDelete
  34. OMC you lucky guys, we only can wish for something like that...😸 Thank Cat he was still intact and flew away, but did he ever came back? Great artwork! Double Healing Pawkisses especially for your mom. Hope all is fine🙏🐾😽💞

  35. I've never seen a duck. That was a big one too. *sighs* I live such a sheltered life.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That is so good that you were able to pick hm up and that the boys weren't too zealous.
