Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week the flashback comes from June 2011, and was a Favourite Fotos Flashback.

Eric: We have always enjoyed helping mum with the garden from an early age. I was digging a hole ready to plant something in.

Flynn: This was an old plant that had been taken out of the pot, so I was checking there were no nasty bugs in it.

And when we were not helping with the gardening, we would check out any strange holes in the ground that we found......

...and if they were full of water, then so much the better.

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



For Eric I used Dark at 40%, then Emboss at 35%.


For Flynn it was Beauty at 45%, then Scribble at 30%.

  5. Oh my.........love seeing the boys as "babies" - and they were so adorable and having fun as only kittens can have. Beautiful photos AND art! I will never EVER be tired of seeing memories of those two guys - just as you do, I know that I will miss them forever.

    Hugs, Pam

  7. Seeing the boys were out there in June with the sun shining and flowers blooming gives me something hopeful to look at while we still have cold weather here.

  8. Brilliant. The gardening cats. Great photos of the boys :-D And love the art. My 6 are all indoor cats. We keep talking about cat-proofing the garden so we can let them out and roam about. :-D

  11. Oh, those boys are just adorable! Even at that young age, they had the desire to help their Mom out with gardening! I never saw Lucy as a kitten, having adopted her when she was about 2 years old and I didn't know her history either other than she was a stray. But, like your boys, she was obviously loved as it showed every day I had her. Lovely catwork! Hope you and Ivor are well. Until next time...Jean
