Coloring Nature

When was the last time I went out and strolled through a nature path? When was the first time? Nature is our challenge this week and I’ll be hard-pressed to find an image of me enjoying nature. I could depict myself being nice but I’m naughty by nature. Heh heh.

You might notice I’m not in the official featured snapshot—and don’t think TW isn’t gonna pay for that. She says this is one of her favorite pics that she ever took of any of the cats. Of course it has to be Nicky back when he was allowed outside. It was taken in the back yard of the old house.

My close encounters with nature have all been from the window.

One time a butterfly came up to see me. Unfortunately, TW didn’t get any good pics of either of us. She may have been more excited than I was. It’s that pointy thing on the left of the window.

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 Favorite.

I decided to do something fun for my art. I don’t know that anyone’s tried this. Adult coloring books have become all the rage. TW always thought that image of Nicky in the garden would be a great image to color so we created one in Photoshop. It was trés easy. Go to Filters then Sketch and then Photocopy. You can play with the sliders until you get the darkness and detail you like. We don’t have an adult coloring book so we weren’t sure which you’d prefer. I made a darker one and lighter one. You can click on your favorite to biggify and download. Happy coloring.

If you color them, I’d love to see them. Please share on my FB page or any social media.
