Well that was lucky, I think the cat adds a lot to the beautiful rose Mary! #1616927

I agree, Jo Ann. It's one of my all-time favorite photos to remember the little dude. #11297574

A rose aficionado! Riley was a very cultured and sophisticated kitty...bet you miss him much. Well, this is sure a "double delight" - Riley and Roses - a wonderful keepsake, Mary - made all the more so with your creative and artistic touch! #11297643

What a perfectly timed capture Mary! A beautiful memorial for your boy, Riley. Sorry to hear of your loss. He was beautiful. Truly a "Double Delight" capture! #11297772

Thanks for commenting, Gord, Becky, Tammy, John, and Michelle. I appreciate it.
And don't feel too bad ~ it's been more than a year and a half since we had to say goodbye to Riley. We remind ourselves we were lucky to have him for 12 years. And we have videos as well as photos to remember those special habits of his. His "replacement ", Danny, has "special" habits, too. But they generally involve teeth in my husband's arms, and torn-up furniture. He's lucky he's so cute when he's sleepy or in an affectionate mood.
"Photo bomb" - hadn't thought of that, Tammy. Certainly fits. #11297859

Thank you for commenting, Nadia, Doug, Avril, and Teresa! #11298344

Reynaldo D. Reyes May 07, 2015

This is such a special capture Mary. Not only is the flower so beautiful on its own but the inclusion of Riley as he appears to show such admiration for the beauty of this double delight makes it all the more noteworthy. #11298375

Mary K. Robison May 08, 2015

Thanks so much for stopping by, Rey. #11298482

Marijana Fajgl May 08, 2015

Love you treatment on this fantastic capture, Mary! My Lili has an interest in flowers when I put it in the vase. Your Riley and my Maza were very similar, they are probably togather right now...
Thank you (and your husband) for such a nice comments on my cat photos. #11298928

frank w. degenhardt May 08, 2015

Sometimes those are the shots that become a special one and for here a Winner. What a beautiful looking flower with its gorgeous colors and then Riley looking at it makes this a Grand Prize Winner. A favorite for me Mary. Beautiful. Have a great day. #11299053

Thanks, Marijana, Frank, and Evy, for your supportive and friendly words. I appreciate them. #11299148

Our old cat Abbie use to smell the flowers like this, it's been over 25 years since we had to say Goodbye to her & I still miss her & think of her often. This is a beautiful image to remember Riley with. Keep smiling=^..^= #11392790

Mary K. Robison October 31, 2015

Thanks, Chris. Scott and I still remind each other of Riley's cute little quirks, and wish we could channel his cuddly (non-biting) nature into BiteyBoy, who ends his cuddling with claws or teeth. Ah, well..
Abbie must've been a very special cat for you to keep her in your mind and heart for the past 25 years! #11393674
