Summertime … and the Kitteh is EZ

Fish are jumping. TW is hi-i-i-igh. Wait, back up a second. Did you say fish are jumping? I hope some of them jump into my mouth. I’m getting hungry.


This week’s photo challenge theme is Summer. Just like last week’s theme, Summer means many things to many people. For me, it means playing with leaves from the ginkgo trees that line our street. I don’t go out so TW brings the outside to me! I get to chase falling leaves and experience the smells  of the outside world from the safety of my condo where I won’t get hit by a car, poisoned or chased up a tree by woofies.


When TW thinks of Summer, she thinks of the boys of summer, our NY Yankees. She took this pic several years ago. Yes, that’s A-Rod. He may be a steroid cheat but he’s OUR steroid cheat. If Mariners' fans can cheer Nelson Cruz and Brewers’ fans can worship Ryan Braun, we have every right to support A-Rod.


The new neighbors in the back—their thoughts in Summer turn to settling down in their lounge chairs and relaxing. We don’t know their names, but the peeps seem to think they look “cute” all stretched out. Cute is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Can you believe TW took this pic from our window using a super zoom lens?

Thanks to Christina and The Lazy Pit Bull for hosting the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge this week and every week throughout 2015. For those who would like to participate, next week’s theme is Water.

Our art this week are oldies but goodies that keep the Summer theme. This is one of the earliest images I made before I even had a blog. It was created for the first PawPawty I dj’ed at back in 2009. The Friskies Explorer website used to have a fun feature—they didn’t call them apps back in the day—that provided eight different scenes for your your cat or you could use one of their cats and then accessorize. We did this one and I ordered TW to update it with a little radiance so it looks like the sun is reflecting offa the umbrella.


Since this is  MLB’s All Star Week, I decided to rerun an image I made when the All Star Game was held at NY’s “minor league” ball park, Shitti Citi Field. I’ve got my colors on; the same ones I’ll be sporting in Cincinnati this week. We used PicMonkey to add some stars to the All Star image, changed to a domed shape and used a bunch more filters.

Concats to Brett Gardner, Mark Teixeira and Dellin Betances who will represent our Yankees on Tuesday.

Many thanks to Athena and Marie for hosting the Caturday Art Blog Hop every Saturday. Stop by the see some creative anipals strutting their newest art images.

I hope you’ll be keeping cool this weekend. I know I will.

  2. My human says Summer means ME from now on! BTW, Dodger Stadium is the dividing line between us and the rest of L.A., which means that during baseball season, we are stuck on the East Side!

  21. What a good idea to bring a piece of the outdoors inside for you to play with! Samantha has her very own catnip plant in her window.

  27. We love summer too... but right now there's just a little too much of it! Glogirly says it feels like we're living in the jungle. Meanwhile, Waffles is acting like a monkey.

  30. Mommy agrees with TW your new neighbors are cute, we are reserving judgement until we can sniff their butts.

  31. Cool Caturday art, CK! We are glad you get to enjoy the sights and smells of summer without actually having to go outside. That's the best way to enjoy the outdoors.

    ReplyDelete
  32. That's a cool Caturday art pic you created and a stunning Summer photo.

  33. Love it all! We have AAA baseball here. Even though I don't follow baseball it's fun to go to the games. Your neighbors definitely are cute…just don't let their peeps catch you pointing that telephoto lens their way, BOL!
