Clever Caturday Artsy Friends!!

I have two very crafty and artys friends.
Grant and Kathy.  He is a woodcarver and she is a beader, she draws and paints.
Kathy sent me an email saying

"Grant is forever mislaying his glasses. He has Progressives and reading glasses & is always saying, "where did I leave them?"

She drew up a design he could make with scrap wood and then painted it "whimsically ".  He had fun making 2, here's a photo of one prototype. Now he is busy making MORE!!"

When Angel Madi passed, Grant carved this kitty and Kathy painted it just like my Angel.

Even the freckle on her nose.  Now it sits on top of Madi's box

Nature and Feline Friday

Hosted by my Niece Rosy, and her 2 brudders Arty and Jakey HERE

Nature from my back yard.

The next two pictures are of the same tree at night

I obviously changed the camera setting.

The file was dated 11/22/18. 

The blizzard of early December blew the remainder of the leaves away

 but I have no idea what setting I used for this one.  No pizap or photo shop just camera setting

I think I might need to buy a head lamp if I continue to take night time photos.

I really like this one.

The Japanese Maple appears to have ice or silver on it..no clue how I did that

Kat, my handsome feline nephew, had a very nice first Christmas in his new home.

Hu-Mum ordered him  his very own water 'faucet'.

He loves it.  Since he was FORMERLY a stray, and he has K9 siblings

Hu-Mum ordered him a harness so he could go on supervised walkabouts when

his sibs are out. BUT he lives INDOORS.

Kat asked his HU-Mum to send me an email with the below photo

He dictated this:

Aunty HiC, Who is the coolest Dude in the Woods? ME he says.

he took right to his harness and is loving he walks

The other day he saw four deer. Not sure what he was seeing here.  In the bottom right photo his expression makes it look like he might have smelled something or somebuddy yummy.
