  Good morning folks! Is my DDR getting a little wild for you? HA!

I added the noodle looking things in. That was done with the smudge tool.

Jeff, Monnie, Tammy, Julianne, Brother Rolan, Brett, and Sister Pat.

Thank you for having an open mind about my work while I experiment.

  Last to first:

HA! Well...at least you are honest Jack! Gotta give you that! :D Thanks for noticing that it is strange!

Thanks Tiia!

*

I really am, Ann! Let's hope this isn't a direct reflection of my mind! HAHAHA!

*

VERY "LAUGH IN", Kitty! HA! (The little Russian Man, right???!!!)

*

Thanks Ray! :D

Hi Sissy, Chrissy! Actually this is a string of lights I have that go up and around the bay windows in the living room! The lights are in the wodden balls.

For playtime, Fangy for some reason LOVES to stand on paper that might be on the floor and then do his back legs on it like a dog with dirt...THEN he spins around and pounces on it. It's really funny to watch since he is normally so shy! HA! I have a thin, long rope I will drag around the house too, for fun, and the cats go WILD trying to chase it. They also have about 100 toys! :D Thx Sis!

Thank You Nancy J! Hey! I owe you a visit!

I appreciate each of you stopping in to see this wacky one!

  I would never have guessed what you were shooting in a million years Laura. Needless to say you improved on the original. I thought it was something on the operating table;)

  Awesome work Laura!! The thing I like about your abstracts is you put forethought into your projects and it shows. Now a Tom abstract on the other hand is whoops, I pushed that slider further then I should have lol. Wonderful work!

  Pom, this has now replaced any previous abstract of yours as my favorite! I believe the judges will feel the same way!
I LOVE the black-white-color combinations, and your use of macro along with Frac to reach such an eye-pleasing result. You are one of those people whose mind - and heart - are ready for anything. The rest of us get to sit back and shake our heads (in a GOOD way!)over your creativity.
Wish I could continue, but DAVE's...
