This video is so sweet it made me cry. It's just one of the myriad reasons I love animals.

I was inspired to write to my cat.


ODE TO MY CAT

I jokingly refer to you as "Furchild" because you have loved me like a daughter would.
I look forward to seeing you each day when I get home,because sometimes the smallest things mean so much.
Your tiny voice reminds me that sometimes a whisper can be more powerful than a scream.
The fact that you show me love despite not being able to use words proves that actions mean more.
and being a cat makes you that much more interesting and curious of all the creatures I have had the pleasure of knowing.
The confidence of your catness reminds me that I should always strive to be myself because it's the best that I can be .
The independence of your feline nature assures me that you chose to love me of your own free will.


Okay, I know, I'm obessed with my cat, but she's so darn cute I can't help it!

VELOCIRAPTOR QUEEN-- my latest goof off with GIMP

When I was a child I was obsessed with animals and the powers they have that far surpass the abilities of humans. I wasted a lot of time in elementary school imagining that I was a dinosaur, a horse or a bird so I could fly off out the window.

My childish flights of imagination have found a better creative outlet with photo editing and seeing as Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies I thought I would fashion myself as the fearsome velociraptor. I added the idea of the queen remembering that Michael Crichton had described in his novels the velociraptors as being a matriarchal society.

This photo looks a little creepy but it sure was fun to put all that makeup on and slick my hair back with tons of Aveda paste!!!


I used several layers, paintbrushes of various opacities and sizes and a few different filter effects.
