Cattitude

Comment:
Cool cat ..!!.. :)

I titled a pic of my daughter's cat in a challenge some time ago "cattitude" .. at the time I thought I'd thought up a totally original word .. lol ..

anyway .. great Edgar has a new scratching post .. my daughter's cats ones have had a lot of wear and tear and look awful in photos .. no problems for you .. :)

Ad Astra Per Aspera

Comment:
such a powerful image Mariuca ..
i'm loving your choice of black and white ..

and of course i googled Ad Astra Per Aspera ..
"through adversity to the stars" ..
a saying which has great meaning for me in my life ..

this image has the appearance of a tapestry ..
"In the tapestry of life, we are all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together."
ideally .. !! .. ;)

Life Is Just A Tire Swing

Comment:
absolutely gorgeous ..
a perfect image for the challenge ..
i hear what ppl say about the sky .. but in some ways it works .. there are no amazing clouds to distract from the story of the girl and the tree ..
it looks a bit like a dull day .. but there is the child on the swing .. taking me back to times i lost myself in those moments ..
a dull day becomes magic .. which is a message in itself ..
i'm loving the foreground too with the grass and suggestion of flowers ..
this is a wonderful and precious image ..
congratulations on the blue ..
btw . when i saw this with the blue i fully expected to see a score of mid 7's .. and with pride of place on your profile page .. :)
